On the Fifth Anniversary of the War in Iraq
March 19, 2008
BELLEVUE, NE - Richard Carter, Democratic candidate for Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, released the following statement on the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War:
“Americans understand that our troops are doing all they can to ensure success in Iraq. As a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I know first-hand how hard our troops work every single day. Today, instead of playing politics, we should honor the brave men and women who have served our country, and work towards a responsible plan for ending the war in Iraq and bringing our troops home.”
Carter served in the U.S. Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan, rising to the rank of Captain while flying combat missions in both countries. Carter continues to serve as an Electronic Warfare Officer in the Air Force Reserve.
