Okay, he was in from 1991-1996 and claiming two National Defense Medals?  What unit was he with during that time that could have earned him a Presidential Unit Citation?  Something about this thing sounds fishy.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Captain Carter is regimentally affiliated with the 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment. (Pathfinders)

C Company 509th Pathfinders were stationed at Ft. Rucker until 1992 or 1993.  Curiouser and curiouser.

Other early assignments were Adjutant, 2nd Battalion 2nd Infantry, Fort Lewis, Washington; Heavy Mortar Platoon Leader, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry, Fort Sill, Oklahoma; Executive Officer and Company Commander, 4th Airborne Company, 4th Airborne Battalion, Fort Benning, Georgia;

Okay, in his background it says he enlisted in 1973.  Why wouldn't he put that on his resume.  He lists numerous units but not the 509th at Rucker.  And it wasn't the 4th Airborne Battalion, it was the 4th Student and the companies were numbered 42nd through 45th(there were more during Vietnam that had a higher number).  The BS meter is starting to ring on this one.
