Governor Andy Beshear has directed that flags at all state office buildings be at half-staff until sunset on Tuesday, January 28 in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 100.
Governor Beshear said, “Jimmy Carter was a true American — he lived through his faith and values every day, lifting up his neighbors and serving our great country through kindness and compassion,”. The Governor adds “Let us all learn from him and honor his memory by leading with love. Britainy and I are praying for the entire Carter family and our country as we mourn the loss of this American hero.”
Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from Jan. 20, 1977, to Jan. 20, 1981.
Gov. Beshear encourages individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout the commonwealth to join in this tribute.
