Late President Jimmy Carter’s casket was transferred to a horse-drawn caisson at the US Navy Memorial, and is now leading a funeral procession down Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues to the US Capitol. The caisson, a traditional honor for military and state funerals, symbolizes a final tribute to the late President.
Members of Carter’s family are expected to walk the procession route alongside the caisson, honoring and remembering the life and legacy of the 39th President of the United States. The solemn procession is a poignant moment of reflection and respect for President Carter's service to the nation.
