Carter, of Okmulgee, was among 29 Oklahoma National Guard soldiers who returned Thursday from Afghanistan. Family and friends welcomed them home during a ceremony at the Norman Armed Forces Reserve Center.
They were able to come home a bit early because of a reduction in U.S. troops in Afghanistan. About 2,200 soldiers with the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team are still in Afghanistan and should return by March.
Several of the soldiers returning Thursday had new members of the family to get acquainted with.
