Former President Jimmy Carter celebrated his 100th birthday in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by family and friends. He watched a military flyover featuring F-18 jets and vintage planes, marking the occasion with local festivities. Carter's grandson, Jason, noted that the former president is "very limited" in his activities but expressed excitement about voting for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. This marks a significant moment as Carter is the first U.S. president to reach this milestone. Carter, who entered hospice care last year, has shown renewed engagement in world events and politics. His family had not anticipated this birthday celebration following the death of his wife, Rosalynn, earlier this year.
