Truman was a democrat. I often look back at the man who believed in that sign. He took it upon himself to do the unthinkable and saved our country. Enough men had died in the war. Japan had plans for California if they could get that far. Truman had had it with attacks on us... he ended it all. And the buck did stop with him. He did what no one in leadership today would have had the guts to do. Gutsy men are hard to find these days.
Grew up hearing about Truman almost every night at the dinner table. I was also thinking about him and what he had to do. Times and people have really changed but Love of Country is in the hearts of many I truly feel.
Fantastic President - not perfect, but not a single one is - and one of my favorite leaders. At the end of his Presidency, he got in his beat up car with his wife and drove across the country to Missouri, to his wife's childhood home, where they lived a simple life until the end.
