Dr. Donald Carter
Meet Our People: The Enduring Spirit of the Chickasaw NationDr. Donald Carter's service as an army surgeon in Vietnam saved the lives of hundreds of American soldiers and Vietnamese civilians. He is also proud to be part of the Chickasaw Nation.
"The first surgery I did, I'd been there about 30 minutes," he remembers. "We didn't work 12 hours and quit, we just worked until we were through."
Dr. Carter worked at the busiest hospital in Long Binh, performing over 1,600 surgeries throughout his year of service. With the support of the Chickasaw Nation, Dr. Carter traveled to Washington, D.C. to present a wreath at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 2023.
