They are still married today. He’s 99 & she’s 96.
In that photo he was graduating from the US Naval Academy as a nuclear engineer. 30 years later, he’d be elected President.
He may not have been the best president for the times in which he served, but he was one the the best diplomats that ever served, and he served his country way past his 4 years in office. I have a soft spot for him.
Admirable human being.
One of the greatest men from Georgia
National treasures
The finest ex president the country has ever had!
And the finest president in my book. A man of great humility and shafted by the circumstances of his time and the ruthless evilness of Ronald Reagan ugh.. Jimmy Carter would have had us on a policy of conservation and better stewardship of the environment 40 years ago.. he was way ahead of his time. Just think about it compare somebody like Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump . This highlights how far we have fallen from the mark
They are both amazing human beings who have put so much good out into the world.
talk about glowing!
What a pair of lives to have lived together.
Not the best while in office but the man has worked continuously since for the betterment of mankind. Building houses, eradicating disease, protecting free elections and the list goes on. Finest ex president we have ever seen.
🎖️🇺🇸🎖️
The irony is that Carter was lambasted by the right for being soft on the military and not having Christian values
Despite the fact that Carter was an officer in the Navy and was an engineer in Rickovers nuclear program, and was open about being an evangelical.
We would be a much better country if Reagan hadn’t undermined Carter (and the country)
He was too good of a man to be President.
“are the longest lived first couple”
And arguably, the “first couple” most interested in helping others – the Carters have been involved with more than 4000 home builds over nearly 40 years!!
“Every year since 1984, former US president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter has donated one week of his time – and his building skills – to Habitat.
Each year, he and his wife Rosalynn lead a major volunteer building event that attracts thousands of volunteers. Usually the event takes place in the USA one year and overseas the next.”❤️❤️
Commissioning Week! Thats awesome
His mother was the nurse that assisted Rosalyn’s birth.
I saw an article recently about how he was a great president. No, not just a great former president and person, but how he did a great job in trying times as president.
I think the “Carter sucked and was a failure” is just very common belief, but the evidence is certainly not enough for it to be fact.
Anyone else think he looks just like B.J. from the Righteous Gemstones?
A brilliant and compassionate pair of people. The best of what America has to offer.
Ring knocker!!!!
While only serving one term, he’s by far one of the most loved former Presidents we’ve had. One of the precious few US Presidents who are also considered national treasures.
Flight attendant out of Atlanta here. Had them on flights several times before they aged out on traveling. They have always been the most delightful and gracious passengers and it was a true honor to have them with us each and every time. He would always walk through the plane at some point in flight and shake hands with everyone!
Just lovely human beings ❤️
Absolute stars.
Jimmy Carter is an S tier human being. The world will be a worse place without him.
We need a U.S coin with Jimmy Carter on one side and Dolly Parton on the other.
I don’t think we showed this guy enough respect when he was in office.
I love Jimmy Carter. I know he’s in hospice – I don’t know if Rosalynn is – but, I hope Jimmy will make it to his 99th birthday next week. And beyond, God willing.
I find most believers simply pay lip service to what they believe but the Carters put their money where their mouth is. I remember a little while back. He had a fall or something had to be put in the hospital and as soon as he was out, he was building houses again with a bandage still on his face.
unfortunately she has dementia now and he’s trucking on despite the cancer diagnosis
He was the president that America needed.
good man
god bless them
Carter is one of the most underrated presidents. He sold off his peanut farm, so there wasn’t a conflict of interest. He has actively helped habits for humanity. The dude is a beast. Hat’s off, Carter. You’ve done well. You were out of my voting cycle, but you’ve done well with preserving your image.
They have been married for as long as my mother has been alive, minus one month.
May they and theirs be happy, and safe.
He was one of the last good ones
He truly was the best the US had to offer.
Damn shame the elite ruling class at the time banded together to make a mockery of his Presidency — A Presidency that was paving the way for a very bright future for all America’s children.
Instead, we got trick-down economics by a cocained up hollywood cowboy pretender.
