田纳西州诺克斯维尔——前总统吉米·卡特今天庆祝他的 100 岁生日，这是其他美国总统从未达到过的壮举。
世界各地有许多人向卡特致以最美好的祝愿，其中一位是来自诺克斯维尔的佩里·博伊德，他在卡特 1977 年至 1981 年担任总统期间，曾被指派到空军一号的安保小组，帮助保护卡特。
“先生，您过着美好的生活，我很感激能与您共事，认识您，并帮助保护您，”博伊德在接受 WBIR 采访时向卡特表达了他的祝福。
博伊德是美国空军的一名退役军士长，曾陪同卡特出访波兰、伊朗、印度和南美洲。他还陪同卡特和他的妻子罗莎琳多次在美国国内旅行。
佩里·博伊德在 20 世纪 70 年代末作为空军一号安保小组的一员，与吉米·卡特总统一起旅行。
卡特总统任期结束后，博伊德也曾乘坐飞机保护里根总统。他称吉米·卡特是一位“正直的人”，热爱和平，并在任职期间努力维护和平。
博伊德说，他还尊敬美国武装部队。

“在我看来，他尽其所能，不让我们这些军人在他的任期内丧生，作为一名军人，我真的很钦佩这一点，”博伊德说，他是企业家兼田纳西大学校长兰迪·博伊德的叔叔。
然而，他可能会让博伊德感到紧张，比如他降落后走下飞机与在绳索或围栏边等候的人握手和打招呼的时候。
博伊德说，有一次，第一夫人抓住他的手，问他是否不能阻止卡特出去迎接。
卡特在任期间和卸任后曾多次访问东田纳西州。
他曾于 1978 年访问诺克斯维尔和橡树岭科学设施，并于 1982 年返回诺克斯维尔参加世界博览会。他于 1981 年 1 月离开白宫，但于 1982 年被邀请回来帮助诺克斯维尔庆祝世界博览会，该博览会在他担任总统期间一直处于筹备阶段。
这位出生于佐治亚州的花生农民和前佐治亚州州长预计将于周一与家人在他的家乡佐治亚州普莱恩斯安静地庆祝他的百年诞辰。

Happy birthday, President Carter! Jimmy Carter turns 100 years old
Among the many people sending best wishes is a South Knoxville man assigned in the 1970s to help protect him on Air Force One.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the U.S.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Former President Jimmy Carter is celebrating his 100th birthday today, a feat no other U.S. president has ever reached.
Among the many people around the world offering Carter best wishes is a Knoxville man, Perry Boyd, who has the distinction of helping protect Carter while assigned to the security detail of Air Force One while Carter was president from 1977 to 1981.
"You've lived a great life, sir, and I appreciate having worked with you and known you and helped to protect you," Boyd said, directing his message to Carter during an interview with WBIR.
Boyd, a retired master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, traveled with Carter on official trips that included Poland, Iran, India and South America. He also accompanied Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, on many stateside trips across the United States.

Perry Boyd, who traveled with President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s as part of the Air Force One security detail.
Boyd, who also traveled on the airplane protecting President Reagan after Carter's one term ended, described Jimmy Carter as a "man of integrity" who loved peace and sought to secure it while in office.
He also honored America's armed forces, Boyd said.

"In my view he did everything within his power to keep from having any of us military people die within his watch, and being a military person I really admired that," said Boyd, the uncle of entrepreneur and University of Tennessee President Randy Boyd.
He could make Boyd nervous, however, such as the times he headed off from the airplane after landing to shake hands and greet people waiting along the rope or fence line.
One time the first lady grabbed his hand, Boyd said, asking if he couldn't stop Carter from going out to a greeting line.
Carter visited East Tennessee several times while in office and after he left office.
His trips here included a visit to Knoxville and Oak Ridge science facilities in 1978 and a return trip to Knoxville in 1982 for the World's Fair. He'd left the White House by January 1981 but was invited back in 1982 to help Knoxville celebrate the World's Fair, which had been in the planning stages while he was president.
The Georgia-born peanut farmer and former Georgia governor was expected Monday to celebrate his centennial quietly with his family in his hometown of Plains, Ga.
