Airman 1st Class Carl L. Anderson, Jr of Georgetown, South Carolina is a 2001 graduate of Georgetown High School where he was voted most popular in his senior class, and participated in several activities including ROTC. In his junior year, he was voted ‘Prom Prince,’ and ‘Prom King’, in his senior year. The popular, laid back student was also on the yearbook staff. Upon graduation he entered the Air Force and was deployed with the 732nd Expeditionary Mission Support Group where he served as a transportation operator. His family wanted him to further his education by attending college, but Carl had his mind set on the Air Force. He even enlisted a month before graduation in May, and by December, he was active duty. Carl was a member of Greater St. Stephen AME Church. He is the son of Rev. Carl and Doris Anderson and also leaves, his sisters, Carletta and Ki’Maro. There’s no doubt that the well mannered, respectful young man had a bright future. He was killed at age 21 by enemy action near Mosul, Iraq after his convoy hit a roadside bomb. A street at Elmendorf Air Force Base was named in his honor.
