Statement by Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro:


“On behalf of our Sailors, Marines, and Department of the Navy Civilians, I express my deepest condolences to the Carter Family for the loss of a respected public servant, committed family man and devoted American.


President Carter will always be remembered for his dedication to the greater good, from his early days in the U.S. Navy, to his terms in office as the 76th Governor of Georgia and 39th President of the United States, to his continued philanthropy and volunteer activities.


In October, I announced that the future Virginia-class submarine (SSN-813) will be named USS Atlanta during a ceremony at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum. His legacy lives on through Seawolf-class submarine USS Jimmy Carter (SSN 23), the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta, and his countless incentives focused on improving the quality of life for people across the globe. His legacy will also shine where his naval career started in Annapolis, where I had the privilege of renaming an academic building at the United States Naval Academy in honor of President Carter.


President Carter's servant leadership and enduring commitment to the well-being of others will continue to inspire me and others around the world.


My wife Betty and I extend our deepest condolences to their children Amy, Jack, Donnel and James; their grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and the entire Carter Family during this time of grieving.”Explore the sidebar on the left. You can add media to add color to your post.

Habitat for Humanity


Over 35 years, Jimmy Carter’s housing advocacy with Habitat for Humanity International took him all around the world.


He helped people rebuild homes after devastating earthquakes in Haiti and after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. He flew to Europe, Asia and Africa, put on a hard hat or cap, tied a red bandanna around his neck and got to work.
