Today, we mourn the loss of President Jimmy Carter, a visionary leader and tireless advocate for peace, human rights, and the betterment of all people. At 100 years old, President Carter leaves behind a legacy unmatched in its breadth and impact, spanning decades of service to our nation and the world.
As the 39th President of the United States, President Carter guided our country through challenges with a steadfast commitment to integrity, diplomacy, and justice. His leadership in brokering the Camp David Accords remains a testament to his belief in the power of dialogue to resolve even the most entrenched conflicts.
President Carter’s post-presidency work redefined what it means to serve beyond elected office. Through the Carter Center and his hands-on involvement with Habitat for Humanity, he championed causes that uplifted the disenfranchised, fought disease, and strengthened democratic institutions worldwide. His efforts were recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize and countless other honors, reflecting the profound impact of his dedication to humanity.
We also remember Rosalynn Carter, his beloved wife and partner of 77 years, who shared his vision and commitment to service. Together, they exemplified the values of compassion, humility, and unwavering hope.
President Carter’s legacy will continue to inspire generations to serve with integrity and to strive for a more just and peaceful world. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the countless lives he touched during his extraordinary journey. May we honor his memory by carrying forward his mission of service and goodwill.
