A president of the United States has died.
The longest-living president.
A devout Christian.
A loving faithful husband.
A caring and loving father.
A working man, a farmer.

A disgrace that the County of Nassau will only lower the U.S. flag for two days for President Jimmy Carter this week.
I, personally, will not spend any money in Nassau County while Bruce Blakeman is in office. I hope others follow.
Mr. Blakeman is a disgrace.
