Friendship is so important in this life, no matter your station. It was a beautiful, heartfelt service overall. The one in GA this evening was beautiful as well. Fitting tribute to someone who impacted so many. 🇺🇸🙏🏾
I think I'm going to write eulogies for all my loved ones, my happy remembrances of them, just in case I'm not around when they go. What a nice thing to do. Good planning ahead. 🤔
Yes and yes they had different views but t did not stop them from being friends due to respect and love. The grandson Jason's speech was beautiful too.
Classy indeed. Cannot imagine anyone saying any such deep and caring words at Trump's funeral or imagine that he'd ever be friends with any past or future presidents… Class left the White House with Trump… 😢
All I can say is the fact that 2 former Presidents from different political parties ended up being close friends as Presidents Ford & Carter were is Already Amazing. However, to make a pact to eulogize each other even Posthumously is Absolutely Phenomenal!!! I remember when President Carter eulogized Ford in Jan 2007. Now Steven Ford has fulfilled his Father's Promise 18 yrs later. This is the BEST MEANING of TRUE FRIENDSHIP!!! REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE PRESIDENTS GERALD FORD & JIMMY CARTER!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽👑😥🌹🕊️🌟✝️🇺🇸💔
Bush 1 and Clinton became unlikely friends, as did Bush 2 and the Obamas. Only Trump, a man of no class, grace, nor compassion, has made it appear impossible in recent years to achieve any level of cordiality much less genuine kinship with his rivals. Except of course those who first humiliate themselves by bending their knees and swearing fealty to his highness.
And what it Eulogy it was! I laughed, cried and embraced every word. President James Earl Carter Jr. Was remarkable beyond words. However this was the remarks that best described this man. Especially when he said “ God did a good thing when he made Jimmy Carter”. Rest in peace and Thank You for your Service during your entire life. 🙏
Beautiful..Ford & Carter's friendship is what America is and should be about. Coming together despite differences, relying on respect and truly loving your neighbor.
Yes, Carter presided over the Islamic revolution in Iran, still "blessing" America and its allies. The same year the Sandanistas seized power in Nicaragua, and still exercise dictatorial power there. Generally it was the worst presidency in that century, surpassed only in this century by Biden.
That was beautiful, Thank you Steven Ford for the stories. Rest in Peace President Jimmy Carter, take a bow and go join your wife, the love of your life.
Beautiful eulogy from President Gerald Ford for hus great friend President Jimmy Carter. Thank you Steven you said it beautifully. Honesty was in his genes. Just loved their friendship. Now they resume it in heaven. God bless you all
Just had an opportunity to watch this beautiful tribute. Thank you Mr. Ford for filling the shoes of your dad. May the LORD continue to watch and bless you and the Carter family.
Oh, these words were just so beautiful. Thank you Mr. Steven Ford and the late President Gerald Ford for the most beautiful eulogy I think I’ve ever heard. ❤️🩹❤️
Yes, it is ....a thoughtful eulogy. In the past, politician fought intensenly, but ...dignity prevail at the end. He, who shall not be mentioned, ...is not a dignified, compassionate, classy, fellow, but ....he is now the leader of a nation...pray for us world.
Jimmy Carter was a true Southern Gentleman. I hope and pray that Presidents past and present acknowledge the meaning and message in this most moving eulogy.
Im a 92 yr old Curmudgeonly #NavyVeteranKorea. In West Michigan. I n my Mrs were friends of #PresidentGeraldFord n Betty. We got to attend Jerrys East Grand Rapids Michigan hometown funeral. #PresidentJimmyCarter attended n was Amazing. God Bless my Two Fellow #NavyVeterans. SALUTE. "Calm Seas n Fair Winds " to Both. Two amazing Genuine Patriotic HEROES.❤
@eyuin5716 Grand Rapids ,,West Michigan is a blend of Democrats n Republicans. We pre Trumpism always got along well. The Republican party today is Trumpism. Not Old School Respectful Conservatism I'd known for my 92 yrs. It's a shame. Jerry n Jimmy are what's BEST about an elected person . Come to Grand Rapids, Michigan someday. The GERALD FORD PRESIDENTIAL MUSEUM is worth visiting.
I have friends in Rockford so I had the honor of visiting that wonderful museum! Thank you for your service sir - and for maintaining the sense of honor that is so sorely lacking in this world of ours. God bless you and waving north to you sir. 🫡
That was so moving. I miss when people were like them. I loved Ford and I loved Carter, I am so happy to know they were such good friends. So surreal to hear Fords words 19 years after his death. Rest in peace to the peacemaker, Jimmy Carter.
If Presidents can come together like this and be cordial, why can't we work together? The world would be sooooo much better. Rest in Peace President Carter. You made the world a better place.
Because people allow media to sway their opinions, and people treating politics like a sports game or religion. When people start caring about their neighbors and less about some person they'll never met, maybe then we'll start working together.
....."and a soul rewarded with everlasting life." We should all aspire for such reward. Absolute moving and Beautiful eulogy written by President Gerald Ford. Steven Ford delivered his dad's words so beautifully, President Ford has got to be looking down beyond proud of his sons delivery of his message.
I lived through Both Presidents terms and respected them. Ford was known as a bit of a bumbler, and was doomed from the start by being a follow up to Nixon, but seemed a decent president. Carter was caught in several no win situations, culminated by the Hostage crisis in Persia ( later Iran). Since their terms both spoke, wrote books, and stayed somewhat associated with politics, but still distanced enough and never held office again. Ford even advocated for Gay Rights and equality, and Carter helped to build homes for the homeless, and poor. He also helped internationally with negotiations. Carter I think did more to help, but Ford did not shurk from trying as well. I think his son delivering this eulogy was both a funny, and deeply meaningful action. Thank you to BOTH ex-presidents, and to your son.
@@DaleHartley As a former President, Carter contacted the members of the 1990s Gulf War coalition organized by the US, both US allies and Arab states, to abandon cooperation w the US plans stop Saddam’s invasion in Kuwait, leaving US troops alone in the conflict. In 1994, North Korea withdrew the nuclear non proliferation treaty. Carter inserted himself into private negotiations w N Korea while the Clinton administration was trying prevent NK from developing a weapon. Against direct instruction from the Clinton administration, Carter negotiated a private deal for NK to begin reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods from a power reactor. Yes, Carter also wrote books.
@@Nill757 so you are angry with carter sticking his nose in and stopping armed conflicts. In BOTH the cases that you refer to, the President wanted war. Carter stepped in and negotiated peaceful resolutions to the problems or tried to. Clinton was getting ready to strike at NK and destroy their nuclear facilities. Bush was getting ready to invade Iraq. He did it. You can have your own opinion, but your facts do not line up with complaining about Carter. His whole life was about negotiating instead of striking out with violence. any other point you want clarified? BTW it is hard to find that information ( which you do not cover fully, nor honestly) and the only REAL reference I can find is from FOX. They are not a real trustworthy source.
Wow that was really heartwarming and just amazing to remember when politics used to be a team sport with professionalism and compassion. Thank you to both Carter & Ford. RIP
It IS amazing how wonderful it is to hear an adult speak (Pres. Ford’s son). This President (Carter) will be missed as his example for those that follow him in office is a supreme example for leadership, purpose to serve community, and integrity. Heaven, please, guide us (me) in following that example in the next four years.
Such a lovely speech and deeply touching to know the deep bond these two men shared with each other. President Ford and President Carter thank you for your service and humanity. 🇺🇸
What a great thing Gerald Ford did leaving this eulogy for his son to read. As we know from John McCain, so many folks from opposition political parties become friends and get to work for the American people.
@@traceyesparza7824 Tracey, you missed the whole point of this eulogy. It is about character, honesty, and integrity. And about serving others as a citizen of the world. Unfortunately Trump (nor his cronies) has none of those attributes.
What a great eulogy by the late Gerald Ford, well delivered by his son. Prophetic words about Carter's character and legacy then and in the future (Ford passed away 19 years ago!), and of the MiddIe East conflict then and now. Now, there are few, if any people--famous or not, former presidents or not--who could compare to or emulate Carter's loving/caring/compassionate, humble, intelligent and smart, hard-working (his entire life!), ever gracious demeanour. Peace be with him, God rest his soul.
Steven delivered one of the best speeches, and when I say delivered I mean it. His father spoke through him. The deep friendship between the presidents shines through. What a marvelous idea those gentlemen had. Carter was my first vote (his second run). What a joy to have had him on this planet, and now I can read the rest of his books (I recently read his autographed "Christmas in Plains").
I'm not surprised Ford and Carter were friends. They both seem like good guys and we were lucky to have them as presidents, even though it was way too short.
@@msarkqueen1320 that Republican Party is now no more, just like the Lincoln's Republican Party is also gone and is essentially now the Democratic Party. Current R is the party of T. Just like the political renewal of the past since the independence, some new party may come and replace as the new mainstay.
I was born in 1966 and my Mum taught us how to read, write, count, do our tables, sew, knit, as well as things to do with the countryside and the world. We got taught about the different places of the world and their capitals and their Prime Ministers or Presidents, and Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford were some of the first that i knew about. But when Jimmy Carter ran for office, i wonder how many young girls would swoon along with me at how handsome he was? He was the first President that i had seen pictures of that didn't look like an old man. I'm glad that this lovely man reached the wonderful age he did, but i'm so sorry for his family and friends that are having to pick up the pieces left with his departure. Just because his children are all grown, that doesn't take away the unrelenting loss that you feel when you lose your parents, finding yourself an "orphan". My deepest condolences go out to Jimmy Carter's family, from across the ocean in Scotland, where a lot of people are thinking about him and his devastated family that is left. Rest in peace Mr President, Jimmy Carter
I was in Jnr. High/High school when Ford was President. How much Steve sounds like him! I respected both Presidents and have fond memories of following the news in the 70s.
Wow, Eulogy written by Ford is really something, it also pointed to the awkward situation that the former presidents , VP facing when sitting next to each other.
I met Steve Ford once when he visited our high school. He shook all our hands and signed autographs. I can see some similarities in Mr. Ford and President Ford’s voices. Both Mr. Carter and Mr. Ford were good men.
This eulogy was pure class. Much love to an older generation.
Pure Class 💯
Agree. Slowly values have been lost around the world.
Jimmy Carter and Gerald ford were both such good men. I can see why they became good friends.

So different than the past many years
Ford always struck me as classier than Reagan or Nixon.
Bush 1 and Clinton became unlikely friends, as did Bush 2 and the Obamas.
Only Trump, a man of no class, grace, nor compassion, has made it appear impossible in recent years to achieve any level of cordiality much less genuine kinship with his rivals. Except of course those who first humiliate themselves by bending their knees and swearing fealty to his highness.

I liked when President Ford said he and President Carter both agreed they had married up. That was sweet.

Very touching. Thank you ❤
The Ford's and The Carter's are 2 of the most down to earth, compassionate families I've ever seen as far as president's go.
They truly did have courageous women by their sides-advocating for transparency of the soul without condemnation or shame.
How wonderful that Carter and Ford fulfilled this promise they made to each other.
Two Presidents and their legacy and friendship. Beautiful.
Thank you Mr. Steven Ford for a beautiful heart felt eulogy for beloved President Jimmy Carter.
Carter was a real peace maker in the middle east, he actually brokered peace with Gorbachev

A beautiful lesson across the decades for how political rivals should relate to one another. I hope a certain politician is listening.
