China wants to be looked at as a major player and now is their chance. This is a start and getting the details worked out will be interesting. The main thing is, getting both sides to a happy place. China has something in mind - just wait and see.

One other thing Carter did, was support and recognize the American Merchant Marine. National Maritime Day proclamation from 1977 to 1980. My father worked for Matson Lines as Chief on the Lurline during this time, and always appreciated Carter for that.

Fair winds and flowing seas Mr. President. You gave your best to our country at a difficult time. Your faith in the Lord and giving to others such as Habitat for Humanity is to be commended. Hospice is a wonderful service, giving your loved ones the chance to die at home surrounded by family.
