Mr Carter was our neighbor….in fact lived in my grandmother’s house…..very nice man….suffered from PTSD before they really knew much about it I guess….my Dad who was also a vet along with others carried him to the VA Hospital monthly…
Thank you for sharing that. So nice of your Dad to take him to appts
Few people know the truth about Clifton Carter and what happened on Bougainville but I do.
