Idaho Governor Brad Little issued an order Monday to fly Idaho and U.S. flags at half-staff until dusk on January 28 in remembrance of former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 100.
On Monday, the Littles half-staff flag directive went into force right away.
GET THE HEADLINES FOR THE MORNING.
According to Little’s written statement, President Carter will be remembered as a man who devoted his life to his nation. His stint in the U.S. Navy, his tenure as Georgia’s governor and then as our nation’s president, and his subsequent humanitarian endeavors serve as a reminder of the value of helping others. I hope he finds peace.
Idaho Democratic Party leaders paid tribute to Carter in a statement released on Sunday.
We join the country in grieving President Jimmy Carter’s passing today. He was a leader of unmatched service, humility, and integrity. Lauren Necochea, the chair of the Idaho Democratic Party, stated in a written statement. As his Secretary of the Interior, President Carter had a special connection to Idaho because of his friendship with Governor Cecil Andrus. Together, they promoted conservation initiatives that have left a lasting legacy, such as preserving the public lands and expansive wilderness regions that are valued by Idahoans. Their collaboration served as an example of the significant impact that trust-based and values-based leadership can have. President Carter’s commitment to housing security, human rights, and world peace has inspired people long after he left office.
Necochea continued, “We honor the extraordinary life of service that Carter led and offer our condolences to his family on behalf of Idaho Democrats.” May his memory serve as a reminder of the strength of moral leadership and the timeless importance of cooperating for the benefit of all.
Carter served one term as the 39th president of the United States, from 1977 to 1981.
