KIA –
Robert Nel Carter – KIA Feb 9, 1968 – Hometown – Camden, NJ
In the
Release Report of
his death (Feb 1968), his next of kin is listed as Mrs.
Clara Carter, 241 Royden St, Camden, NJ – 241 Royden Street no
longer exists and to date we've been unable to find a relation.
However, through internet searches, we've found Bob Nadolski,
who was Roberts platoon leader. “Bob
Carter was my platoon Sgt. He was the go-to guy when things had
to be done. You could always count on him to
 do
the right thing. He would have achieved a lot in life because of
his attitude. Him, Rocco Pannicia and me were running the point
during the 68 TET. There was an explosion and I was told later
that it was a claymore set up on our flank. Rocco and I were
wounded, Sgt Carter was killed….” We found a phone
listing for Bob in
Illinois, and called him last week. Bob indicated that Parade
Magazine did a story on their unit in 1968, just prior to the
death of Sgt Carter. Bob sent in the photos above. We will be following up with a
copy of the Parade article shortly.
Nadolski is
going to try and make it here for the Candlelight Services for
Sgt Bob Carter. If we can find some of Sgt Carters family, and they wish to
attend, they will bring the Candle up to the Wall during the
services…perhaps with Bob Nadolski at their side…if we cant find
any family, then Nadolski may bring the Candle up
himself.....the Legions goal is to find a personal contact for
each and every one of these fallen heroes - whether it be a
family member, a friend, classmate or comrade...For more

Bob Carter was my platoon sgt. He was the go-to guy when things had to be

were running the point during the 68 TET. There was an explosion and I was

wounded, Sgt Carter was killed. I think about him often and know that we
would have been lifelong friends. Lt Robert W. Nadolski
