Former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100 on December 29, is being honored with three days of state funeral rites in Washington. His remains, which have been lying in repose at the Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta, will be transported to Washington on Tuesday morning. The journey will begin with Special Air Mission 39 departing from Dobbins Air Reserve Base and arriving at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
A motorcade will then carry Carter's casket into Washington and the Capitol, where members of Congress will pay their respects at an afternoon service. Following this, Carter will lie in state on Tuesday night and Wednesday before a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, where President Joe Biden will deliver a eulogy.
