Americans flock to the Capitol to pay respects to former President Carter ahead of funeral: 'Job well done'

Americans traveled from all over the country on Wednesday to visit former President Jimmy Carter, who was lying in state at the U.S. Capitol, ahead of his funeral on Thursday.

A handful of visitors spoke with Fox News while waiting in line to view Carter's casket – some knew him personally and others simply admired the late president.

Catherine, of nearby Gaithersburg, Maryland, said it was important that she pay her respects to Carter because he was inspirational in how he spent much of his life helping others.
