U.S. President Barack Obama presents Medal of Honor to U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Ty M. Carter

Description:

During a ceremony at the White House, President Barack Obama describes the actions of Medal of Honor recipient U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Ty M. Carter on October 3, 2009 during combat operations at Combat Outpost Keating in Kamdesh District, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. Obama praises both Carter's gallantry in combat and his ordeal with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) saying it is "absolutely critical to put an end to any stigma" that prevents troops from getting treatment. An unidentified speaker reads the official Congressional citation as the President presents the medal to Sergeant Carter. U.S. Army Chief of Chaplains Major General Donald Rutherford delivers the invocation and the benediction.
