Jimmy Carter died this Sunday at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served a single term from 1977 to 1981, will be remembered for his enduring commitment to philanthropy and his unrelenting humanitarian work. Great tributes can therefore be expected to honor his memory.
Presidential funerals usually take years to plan and the details are generally kept secret between close family members and the US Army Military District of Washington.
“To honor a great American, I will order an official state funeral to be held in Washington, D.C., for James Earl Carter, Jr., 39th president of the United States, 76th governor of Georgia, lieutenant in the United States Navy, graduate of the United States Naval Academy and favorite son of Plains, Georgia, who gave his entire life to the service of God and country,” Biden said in a statement.
