The nation will say goodbye to former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday. Carter's remains will be taken to the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., after lying in state at the Capitol this week.

Thursday's services capped six days of remembrance for Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. Following the honors in Washington, it was his wish to be buried in his hometown of Plains, next to his beloved wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.
