On May 23rd, 2015 my family and I participated in the I Did the Grid 4 mile run/walk. The run is organized by Team Chris, an organization founded by the family of Cpl. Christopher G. Scherer who was killed in action in July of 2007. As part of the run participants carry the names of four fallen heroes on our bibs to honor the sacrifice that they and their families have made so that we and our families may live free. There are no awards or medals. We ring a bell in honor of the names we carry when we cross the finish line. David's name was on my daughter's bib. We cannot begin to know your sorrow but we can promise you that he will not be forgotten and that your family will remain in our prayers.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Carter Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER DAVID R. CARTER
You are my Hero may God keep you in his arms forever.

To the family of David Carter. I attended the funeral procession and interment ceremony with the Colorado Patriot Guard Riders. I was extremely moved by the support of our local emergency personnel who stood in honor of your loved one at all E470 overpasses and along I-25. My heart cannot bear the burden that yours does at this most saddest of times. But I can tell you that you will be bathed in prayer for many years to come. One day I will be given the opportunity to meet your hero face to face. May the Lord tenderly bless you.

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your husband’s sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

My prayers are offered for the family of this brave American Hero. May God be with you all as you walk this journey of loss and sadness. I was a classmate of David's mother Elsie, back in Oshkosh. I send her my love and prayers as well. Jacque Caslin Olson

If I may paraphrase Patton, "It may be foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should kneel on bended knee and thank God that such men lived."
- General George S. Patton, Jr

My thoughts and prayers go with you and yours.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to CWO. David R. Carter our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for David. And to David it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing enemy forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. David, you are a brave American Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,307 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to David’s family and loved ones.

Dennis N. Engdahl, Commander, American Legion Post 14

Rest in peace.

I pray your family will feel the presence of the Lord today and that you will draw strength and hope as you trust Him to be your comfort. We are blessed because of your loved one’s service to our country.

Mr. Carter served with many Minnesotans in the 2006-2007 Deployment of B Co 2/211 (the Chinook unit then based out of St. Paul, now St. Cloud). He will never be forgotten. Thoughts and Prayers to these military members' families, and units.

For everything you did and stood for I thank you. You are truly a hero of the United States Of America. Our prayers go out to your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Chief Warrant Officer David R. Carter.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. David will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you.

I Salute You.
