Today, we honor the life and service of former President Jimmy Carter. President Carter was a true servant leader whose impact on the world and the lives he touched can never be fully measured. During his long and purpose-driven life, President Carter was guided by his faith, love of country, and sense of responsibility to his community. From his formative years as a Naval Officer to his humanitarian work later in life, President Carter was always in service of others. In the days to come, many memories will be shared about President Carter, and I hope that we can use them as an opportunity to remind ourselves of the difference one person can make.
President Carter was an optimist, and that is a gift he leaves each of us. I am grateful our Party can count President Carter as one of our own and for the leadership he provided our country, during his time as President, and for the many years after. May President Carter rest in eternal peace and may the thought of his reunion with First Lady Rosalynn Carter bring his family and all who loved him comfort at this time of loss.
