Sergeant Tom Carter was one of the early members of DELTA. He was featured in a book, Rescue My Child by Neil Livingstone about private commandos hired to rescue kidnapped children. That book was later turned into a movie, Desperate Rescue: The Cathy Mahone Story. In the early 1990s Carter served as a shift leader for the US backed presidential security team for Haitian President Aristide's return to power. The leader of the detail was Command Sergeant Major Eric L. Haney who is now one of the producers of CBS' The Unit. Tom Carter was killed in action in April, 2004 in Iraq.
