Carter to travel from Plains to nation’s capital Carter’s motorcade will travel through Plains on January 4, past his boyhood home and the Georgia State Capitol, before arriving at the Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta, according to plans released by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region in the Department of Defense, which will conduct the ceremonies. After the service at the Carter Center, the former president will lie in repose there, and the public can pay their respects until the morning of January 7.
He will then lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC, congressional leadership announced Monday. The Capitol will be open to the public on the night of January 7 through January 9, ahead of Carter’s funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral at 10 a.m., according to the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.
Following the service, the late president and his family will travel back to Georgia to the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, where the former president taught Sunday school for decades, for a private funeral service. After, the public is invited to gather along a motorcade route that will travel through Carter’s hometown to his residence, where he will be buried — the same location his wife, Rosalynn, was buried following her death last year.

“Flags at half-mast for 30 days. Really?”
My wife and I were discussing that very thing yesterday. I guess that is official protocol.....ours will be half staff for a few days and after that I’ll just bring it in until February.
The gov employees given day off to morn. How about they make them return to their work places from working at home and morn there.
Convenient, day off Thursday. Alleged work day Friday and three day weekend honoring MLK. How sweet it is. My guess Friday becomes a non day too, morning is tough.
I remember when he won. I also remember that the girl I was dating was ecstatic about him being elected. I think I voted for Ford. I wasn’t into politics back then, and didn’t know liberal from conservative from a hole in the ground. Looking back now, I realise just what a crazy liberal she was, but I also know that she has since departed from this Earth, so RIP, HB….
My thought....Swear Trump in...and Trump should...right then...order the flag to be raised full staff...and to remain at full staff!
And let us have the respect for the flag at its pinnacle.
My brother in the 101st felt the same way about their blue berets. His buddy never did turn his in.

Indeed. Even Biden will have the same when his time comes. I just don’t plan on spending any time watching.
It will be interesting, however, to hear what king of eulogy they give him (Biden).

Trump should order it raised right after he is sworn in...and before our very eyes....and remain unless President Trump says otherwise.
The Democrat dead-enders are going to turn Carter’s funeral into a campaign rally like they did with Paul Wellstone’s funeral. Remember? “Do it for Paul!”
The won’t be able to keep themselves from going overboard.
Being a federal civil servant (retired in 2019) as I was, gives one a unique view into federal service.
I came from 8 years in the private sector so I saw the contrast first hand.
Even back in 1989 I couldn’t believe the difference in how the public system was run in comparison to the private one.
So, it doesn’t usually go over well here on FR, but what I suggest to people is it’s really not the people, it’s the way the system is set up that instills a culture into to the federal public servant.
We can’t forget the send off they gave Paul Wellstone, either. Over the top…
There should be gas lines at all gas stations on the day of his funeral, commemorating one of his greatest achievements.
They do that so there isn’t as much traffic on the roads. Believe it or not, they did this for Reagan on his funeral day too.
I have as much interest in Jimmy Carter’s funeral as I would in burying a cockroach I stepped on. Put the communist in a landfill as far as I’m concerned.
“turn Carter’s funeral into a campaign rally”
I wouldn’t doubt if someone vomits out some gun control language at some point.....they never miss an opportunity for that and couldn’t give 2 shots what situation is.
Tacky insensitivity is a requirement to be a democrat.
The flag code is only 70 years old.
After being sworn in, Trump should order ALL Federal flags raised to full staff...and hopefully, we should all stand and sing the Star Spangled Banner.
Yes, Carter who I do not believe was deep state was simply the single most incompetent President ever. The day Reagan took office I cried for joy.
Nah more like swastika flags will be used it’s the only people that will show up.
Biden had no power to order it beyond his term in Office.
