Statement: OPM Honors the Life of Former President Jimmy Carter

OPM joins the nation in mourning the passing of President Jimmy Carter. President Carter showed that public service isn’t just a line of work – it is life’s calling. From a young naval officer to a political leader, to leading as a humanitarian building homes and curing diseases, President Carter answered the call to public service. He set an example for every American to give back to their communities. He will truly be missed.
