Once bitter political rivals, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford later became close friends. The two presidents would promise each other to deliver a eulogy at the other’s funeral. Carter fulfilled his promise after Ford died in 2006. At Carter’s funeral, Ford’s son, Steven Ford, realized his end of the deal. “God did a good thing when he made your dad,” Steven Ford told the Carter children. He then read from a letter that Gerald Ford had written for Carter. #CNN #News
Gerald R. Ford's Son Honors 'Nemesis' Jimmy Carter I'm not religious, but the honest, thoughtful recollection of this friendship should be the norm, not the exception. What a sharp juxtaposition to the current political climate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=czDT...
A really beautiful moment, despite being rivals in 1976, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford became great friends. Carter delivered the eulogy for Ford in 2006 and today Gerald Ford's son delivered the eulogy for Jimmy Carter on behalf of his Dad www.youtube.com/watch?v=czDT...
President Ford and President Carter became friends after they were both out of office and decided to write letters to be read at each others funeral. My historian heart just grew twelve sizes. And low-key wondering if Gerald Ford was a prophet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=czDT...
