Bravery Under Fire

In 2010, Carpenter deployed to Afghanistan. During a routine patrol, his battalion came under fire from a grenade attack. A military investigation later concluded that Carpenter was injured while protecting his friend Nick Eufrazio from the grenade.

Carpenter’s arms and jaw were broken, and he lost an eye. Eufrazio had extensive shrapnel damage to his face and body. Both of the soldiers survived.
