On February 7, 2024, the PFC Michael Carter Jr. Foundation held a highway dedication ceremony for PFC Carter. His name was memorialized on a state highway sign on Route 13 where he was killed in a car crash due to a malfunctioning Lindsay X-lite guardrail terminal end-piece.
The program was attended by friends, family, state representatives, city police, military personnel, Gold Star Mothers, as well as the Maryland Patriot Guards. This was also the first awarding of the PFC Carter Jr. Foundation Memorial Scholarship.
