Why the stamp was issued: This is a memorial stamp issued in honor of Carter, who died in December 2024.
About the stamp design: Carter’s portrait is from an oil-on-linen painting by Herbert E. Abrams. The 1982 painting was a life study made in preparation for the former President’s official White House portrait.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony took place at The Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, on what would have been Carter’s 101st birthday.
History the stamp represents: In 2025, the US Postal Service issued a memorial stamp commemorating Jimmy Carter, America’s 39th president. Carter entered the White House in 1977 as a Washington outsider, a peanut farmer from Georgia who promised honesty in government. His single term was marked by turbulence – energy shortages, inflation, and the Iran hostage crisis – yet also by a remarkable triumph: the Camp David Accords. Carter’s tireless diplomacy brought Egypt and Israel together in a peace agreement that reshaped the Middle East and remains his greatest presidential achievement.
Although voters denied him a second term, Carter’s influence only grew after leaving office. He devoted the next four decades to humanitarian causes, often working shoulder-to-shoulder with volunteers at Habitat for Humanity, building homes. Through the Carter Center, he advanced human rights, fought disease, and monitored elections around the globe. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his “decades of untiring effort” to promote peace and democracy.
Carter’s humility, faith, and compassion made him one of the most admired former presidents in American history. This memorial stamp not only recalls his time in the White House but also celebrates a lifetime dedicated to service – a legacy that continues to inspire Americans to live with principle and purpose.
