- 🎂🥳We wish the happiest of birthdays to President Jimmy Carter! Pictured are Jimmy Carter & Gerald R. Ford as they co-hosted an All-Democracies Conference, bringing together leaders from 44 democracies worldwide, at the Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor, MI on Feb. 9, 1983.
- Replying to @AlexisCoeWe're just going to leave this here...
- "...I have never told you that I treasure my friendship with you very much. ...too often we fail to tell our friends that we really care about them and we are grateful to them." George Bush sent this thoughtful letter to his #ArchivesBFF Gerald Ford in 1996.
GIF- Liberty, a golden retriever, joined the Ford family in the fall of 1974. She became friends with everyone at the White House and enjoyed spending time with President Ford in the Oval Office. #ArchivesBFF 📷: catalog.archives.gov/id/7284036
- "If we live in peace as bravely as they died in war, the world will remember them as long as there are free men to be inspired." – President Ford's remarks @ArlingtonNatl Cemetery on #MemorialDay 1975. Read his full speech: fordlibrarymuseum.gov/library/docume… 📷: ow.ly/rWVD50zO3ad
- The @USNavy is commissioning the #USSGeraldRFord today! In 1975 Ford welcomed the Navy's then-newest aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz.
- Rest in peace Rosalynn Carter, former First Lady, lifetime activist and humanitarian. The Carters and the Fords may have been briefly political rivals, but they became longtime friends. Our thoughts are with her family in this time of great loss.

- Check out this candid shot of President Ford and Jimmy Carter in the limo on their way to Carter's inauguration ceremony in January 1977. The two men met as political rivals but became lifelong friends. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesGiftExchange @CarterLibrary
- Hats off to Curtis!!🥳 After 7 years he has officially visited 13 NARA Presidential Libraries across the country (including 3 Presidential Libraries this year alone!) and collected a stamp from each facility. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum was the last stop on his list!
- Despite facing off against each other in the 1976 election, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter became #ArchivesBFF after they both left office. We're looking forward to celebrating friendship with our #ArchivesHashtagParty pals today! 📷: fordlibrarymuseum.gov/images/avproj/…
- Our thoughts are with her family and the people of the United Kingdom on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Over her 70 year reign, she was the epitome of grace, charity, and duty. She was an ally to 14 Presidents, and good friend to the United States of America.
