The U.S. Postal Service will issue a commemorative 'Forever' stamp honoring the nation's 39th president.
He was the president of the United States and the governor of Georgia, but Jimmy Carter often said the "pinnacle" of his life was marrying Eleanor Rosalynn Smith.
"Today we lost an icon who was the epitome of what it means to be a true public servant in and out of office."
Former President Jimmy Carter, who aspired for a "competent and compassionate" government, has died. He was 100.
Along the way, Carter reinvented the post-presidency.
The year was 1984 and the former president was already out of office and had volunteered to help restore the building which was Habitat for Humanity's first project in New York City.
