Jimmy Carter was President when I began my Federal career in 1979, marking the start of a journey through decades of public service. I retired during the Biden Administration, reflecting on the many changes and milestones I witnessed in our nation’s history.
President Carter was not only a capable leader but also a person of exceptional character. His humility, compassion, and unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes embody a kind of leadership that earns enduring respect and admiration.
As I reflect on his extraordinary life and legacy, I am both comforted and inspired by President Carter’s steadfast dedication to justice, peace, and the betterment of humanity. His example serves as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when integrity and empathy guide our actions, leaving a profound and lasting impact on those fortunate enough to have witnessed his contributions to the nation and the world.
