Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has called on residents of the state to observe a minute of silence on Thursday morning in honor of former President Jimmy Carter. This tribute comes as Carter battles health issues and was hospitalized earlier this week for a urinary tract infection.
In a statement released by the Governor’s office, Lamont urged all state agencies and residents to pause at 10 a.m. on Thursday and take a minute to reflect on Carter’s contributions to the nation. The 39th President of the United States, Carter has been known for his dedication to humanitarian efforts and peacebuilding both during and after his presidency.
Carter, now 95, was the oldest living president until former President George H.W. Bush passed away last year. Despite his advanced age, Carter has remained active in various philanthropic endeavors, including his work with Habitat for Humanity, which he has been involved with for over 35 years.
Lamont’s call for a moment of silence has been met with widespread support from residents and officials throughout the state. Many see it as an opportunity to show their appreciation for Carter’s lifetime of service and commitment to making the world a better place.
As Connecticut prepares to pay homage to one of the nation’s most respected leaders, the gesture serves as a reminder of the impact that Carter has had on the country and the world. His dedication to peace, justice, and human rights has left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire generations.
The minute of silence on Thursday morning will provide an opportunity for people to come together in reflection and unity, honoring a man whose lifetime of service has made a lasting impact on the world.
