Governor Jim Pillen says flags will be flown at half-staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter. Carter, the longest living U.S. president, died Sunday at ager 100. “Suzanne and I join our fellow Americans in mourning the death of former President Jimmy Carter. President Carter’s life was defined by public service,” Pillen says.
“He wore the uniform of our nation as an officer in the U.S. Navy, served the people of his beloved state of Georgia as Governor and served America as President.” His service to others continued long after he left the presidency, particularly through his work with Habitat for Humanity,” Pillen said in his statement.
“His unwavering faith in almighty God and his dedication to his family were a model for us all.” In accordance with the United States Flag Code and the flag policy of the State of Nebraska, U.S. and Nebraska flags will be flown at half-staff for 30 days, until Jan. 28, 2025.
