My wife’s aunt’s sister’s husband shares the same birth day as Jimmy Carter. The family wrote a note to the Carters expressing their admiration and Amy wrote back! At their 100th birthday celebration this week, they’ll have a cake for Jimmy as well.

Carter attended the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, then returned to run his family’s peanut farm in Plains, Georgia, before serving as the governor of Georgia from 1970-1975. (Photo by © CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images)
Oh my! That photo’s caption seems written to ignore President Carter’s seven years of active service in the US Navy, doesn’t it?
ETA: The caption also seems almost to want to hide the fact that President Carter didn’t merely “attend” the U.S. Naval Academy, but he actually graduated from there.

In the 1990s, my mom found this in a shop in Oklahoma and got it for me. It’s from Frankoma Pottery; for years they have made both a donkey and elephant for election years, then a mug with the inaugural year for the winners.

Joined the military in Sep 1975. When Carter became President one of the fist things he did was give the miltary a 10% raise. I was 18 at the time and always thought of him as generous and kind.
