Jimmy Carter's grandson Hugo Wentzel provides an update about his grandfather, who has, Hugo says, "been an amazing grandpa. He's an amazing person. I absolutely love him." Hugo states,

“At this point, we're just taking care of him, expressing love, as he gets older.”

To think that the U.S. could be led by presidents like Jimmy Carter and then, down the road, the man now under multiple indictments with more to come. One of the two is heroic.

Dont know if your readers know, but:

President Carter, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

I have no idea why this isn't widely known

Because Carter didn't like to brag and the GOP hated him.
