Across the country and around the world, lower flags and moments of silence have marked this somber occasion, symbolizing the respect and admiration for Carter's extensive contributions to society.

He is remembered not only as a politician but as a staunch humanitarian who dedicated his post-presidential years to various charitable efforts. His legacy includes promoting fair elections, eradicating diseases, and building homes for those in need through the Carter Center. Many who knew him describe him as a man of principle, with an unwavering commitment to honesty and faith, qualities that set him apart in the political arena of his time. In the days following his passing, Americans will have numerous opportunities to pay their respects. Public viewings are scheduled in both Atlanta and Washington, D.C., culminating in a state funeral next Thursday, just before the inauguration of the next president. Many people have chosen to honor Carter's memory by leaving flowers and well-wishes at the Carter Center, despite the family requesting donations in lieu of floral tributes. This community response highlights the profound impact Carter had on so many lives through his work and values, with many calling him their favorite president. As we reflect on his life, we take comfort knowing that he will be laid to rest beside his wife, Rosalyn, a partnership that exemplified love and shared purpose throughout their 77 years together.

I swear, those political cartoons at the end are the only ones I have ever seen paying tribute rather than mocking. That should be telling of what type of person Jimmy Carter was. He was one of those rare people that was beloved by many across the world for how hardworking, charitable, and honest they were. His death shows a brief, almost precious moment where people across all boundaries come to pay respect. While Im sure that, as this video has said, his presidency will continue to be one of discussion and disagreement, his post-presidency is one that is so profound and positive. These types of people will rarely ever come, let alone become president. Rest in Peace to one of my favorite presidents.
