ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter was remembered Thursday as a man ahead of his time who leaves his country and the world better off for his service.
Georgia’s only president thus far, who died Dec. 29 at the age of 100, was eulogized at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., at a service attended by President Joe Biden and all four living ex-presidents.
