The world mourns the loss of Jimmy Carter, an extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian whose impact resonated with millions globally, even those who never personally knew him. Over six decades, Carter dedicated his life to compassionate service, working tirelessly to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote fair elections, house the homeless, and advocate for the most vulnerable. His character, courage, hope, and optimism, especially evident in his partnership with Rosalynn, defined patriotism and inspired generations. As a man of principle, faith, and humility, Carter exemplified a life of purpose, demonstrating that America's greatness stems from the goodness, decency, and compassion of its people. His legacy of service to God and country, from his time in the Navy and as Governor of Georgia to his presidency, was honored with a state funeral in Washington D.C.
