(NEW YORK POST) – Happy birthday, Mr. President! Former President Jimmy Carter is 100 years old Tuesday – reaching a longevity milestone no U.S. president has ever achieved.

The occasion was marked by an outpouring of support for the centenarian, including birthday salutations from President Biden as well as former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, which were shared by the Carter Center Presidential Library.

The Atlanta-based presidential library also dropped its admission fee to $1 (100 cents) as a nod to its namesake, and will be the site of the first of 101 trees to be planted to honor Carter’s legacy of environmentalism.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
