Former President Jimmy Carter begins home hospice care

It’s 544 support is pouring in for former President Jimmy Carter. His charity, The Carter Center, announced he’s beginning home Hospice care. At 98 years old, Carter is the oldest living former commander-in-chief. The 39th president decided to switch to home Hospice after a series of hospital stays. Carter was diagnosed with cancer back in 2015 and needed hip surgery in 2019. But through all of those struggles, he always put charity first. They took 14 stitches in my forehead and my eyes black as you notice. But I had a number one priority, and that was to come to

Nashville to build houses. It’s awesome. The Carter Center says Jimmy Carter will spend the rest of his time with his family now today we honor Jimmy Carter and all past commanders in chief on this president’s day that most people know the holiday means closed banks and government buildings. But Presidents Day actually has deep roots in the founding of our country. Let’s connect the dots. According to history.com, Presidents Day dates all the way back to 1800, America’s first President, George Washington, died a year earlier to honor his legacy. His birthday, February 22nd, was marked as a

day of remembrance. Washington’s Birthday was observed before it was established as an official federal holiday. But as you might have noticed, today is not George Washington’s Birthday. In the 1960s,

lawmakers passed the uniform. Monday Holiday Act, which moved certain federal holidays like Memorial Day and Presidents’ Day to Mondays instead of specific dates to accommodate a three day weekend. And while that’s nice for us, it means the holiday will never fall on George Washington’s actual birthday. So the name was changed to Presidents Day.
