My Take
Ty Carter is a different sort of name in this database, and I think that is exactly why he belongs here. A retired Army staff sergeant from Spokane, he received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the 2009 Battle of Kamdesh in Afghanistan, alongside a Purple Heart and a long row of decorations. Each one represents risking his own life for the men beside him. What moves me most is what came after: his openness about the psychological toll of combat. To me his quiet, hard-won courage deserves the same respect we give any household name, and more.
