The Carter Collection

In the weeks since former President Jimmy Carter passed, many stories and photos have been shared by the USSS personnel who were assigned to, or supported, the Carter protective details for so many years. Additionally, USSSA has an archive of member-submitted photos of agents with the former President and first family through a joint effort with the U.S. Secret Service Office of Communication and Media Relations in 2020.

We welcome your reminiscences, too! What we have received to date is pretty wide-ranging: a lot of photos and captions, snapshots of photo album pages, some complete stories and some simple vignettes of a memory or moment in time. Click on an individual photo to view a larger image and the full caption, or to use the arrows to navigate through the gallery.

Can’t recall all of the details or faces in your photos? The collective memory of our membership can help to fill the gaps! Please send your stories, photos and captions — and additional information on what’s already posted — to Laurel Rudd.
