| US President Jimmy Carter |
Over the USA's nearly 250-year history, it's nearly impossible to find a Commander-in-Chief without a shot fired in anger by American forces during their time in office. The exception to this rule: our 39th President, James Earl Carter, Jr.
This remarkable achievement—first noted by the Washington Post's William Grieder upon the completion of Carter's first year in office—continued for the entirety of his term.
It's fitting that a man known for a commitment to peace—as evidenced by his administration's signature achievement: the Camp David Accords—can also lay claim to this singular honor.
At his current age of 99, he's also our longest-living former President. Way to go, Jimmy!
There's more to come in the next dispatch.
