This year's winter break was stacked with intense emotions. Feelings of happiness for visiting family, celebrating Christmas, and playing with friends. And feelings of despair for remembering the anniversary of the 1/6 incident.
But, the most saddening event that happened was the death and funeral of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter was respected for travelling extensively to conduct peace negotiations, monitor elections and further the eradication of infectious diseases. Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. His presidency was marked by significant events such as the Camp David Accords, the Iran Hostage Crisis, and his focus on human rights and energy policies. Understanding his presidency gives insight into why he is a figure of national significance.
Carter’s post-presidency work has been highly influential. After leaving office, Carter became known for his humanitarian work, particularly through the Carter Center, which focuses on global health, democracy, and human rights.
He passed on December 29th and is being memorized by all of the United States by setting the country's flags at half-staff. Half-staffing is a protocol that occurs when a U.S President dies and lasts for 30 days.
“Half-staff” is a term used to describe a flag position that is halfway down the flagpole. This is a sign of mourning, respect, or distress in the United States. The President can order flags to be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the U.S. government and others as a mark of respect.
Thats it for now! I hope you readers have had a wonderful break and have learned something!
