Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–1953). The final running mate of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, Truman succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945, when Roosevelt died after months of declining health. Under Truman, the U.S. successfully concluded World War II; in the aftermath of the conflict, tensions with the Soviet Union increased, marking the start of the Cold War.Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri and spent most of his youth on his family's farm. During World War I, he served in combat in France as an artillery officer in his National Guard unit. After the war, he briefly owned a haberdashery and joined the Democratic Party political machine of Tom Pendergast in Kansas City, Missouri. He was first elected to public office as a county official and became a U.S. senator in 1935. He gained national prominence as head of the wartime Truman Committee, which exposed waste, fraud, and corruption in wartime contracts.While Germany surrendered a few weeks after Truman assumed the Presidency, the war with Japan was expected to last another year or more. Truman approved the use of atomic weapons against Japan, intending to force Japan's surrender and spare American lives in an invasion although the decision remains controversial. His presidency was a turning point in foreign affairs as the nation supported an internationalist foreign policy in conjunction with European allies. Working closely with Congress, Truman assisted in the founding of the United Nations, issued the Truman Doctrine to contain communism, and passed the $13 billion Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, including the Axis Powers of both world wars, whereas the wartime ally Soviet Union became the peacetime enemy, and the Cold War began. He oversaw the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and the creation of NATO in 1949. When communist North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, he immediately sent in some U.S. troops and gained UN approval for the Korean War. After initial success, the UN forces were thrown back by Chinese intervention and the conflict was stalemated through the final years of Truman's presidency.On domestic issues, bills endorsed by Truman often faced opposition from a conservative Congress dominated by the South, but his administration successfully guided the American economy through post-war economic challenges. He said civil rights was a moral priority, and submitted the first comprehensive legislation in 1948, and issued Executive Orders to start racial integration of the military and federal agencies that year. Corruption in Truman's administration, which was linked to certain members in the cabinet and senior White House staff, was a central issue in the 1952 presidential campaign which Adlai Stevenson, Truman's successor as Democratic nominee, lost to Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. Popular and scholarly assessments of his presidency were initially negative, but eventually became more positive | Full Name | Harry S. Truman |

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I'm proud that I'm a politician. A politician is a man who understands government, and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead ten or fifteen years. |
| 2 | My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. |
| 3 | [on Douglas MacArthur] I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son-of-a-bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail. |
| 4 | [on unexpectedly becoming President in 1945] I felt like the moon, the stars and all the planets had fallen on me. |
| 5 | [jokingly to Eisenhower who had asked before they toured the White House whether he should sign the guestbook] Definitely. Then if anything is missing we'll know who to blame. |
| 6 | Most Presidents don't seem to want to talk to former presidents. And from my experience, I know that's pretty natural behavior. A new president wants to be president on his own hook, and not have a former president around, trying to give him advice. But the really terrible thing is when a president sets out to actively discredit the politics of a former president. And that's what happened when I was succeeded by Dwight Eisenhower. |
| 7 | It's interesting that a single thing, that great smile of Eisenhower's, gave him the worldwide and lifelong reputation of being a sunny and amiable man., when most of us who knew him well were all too aware that he was essentially a surly, angry and disagreeable man. |
| 8 | [on in-coming President Eisenhower] This fellow don't know any more about politics than a pig knows about Sunday. |
| 9 | [to a friend, the day after FDR died] I'm not big enough. I'm not big enough for this job. |
| 10 | Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan. I know he's going to vote against me. |
| 11 | [on father/mother] Since a child at my mother's knee, I have believed in honor, ethics, and right living for its own reward. |
| 12 | [on criticism] He who cannot stand the heat should stay out of the kitchen. |
| 13 | [on James Stewart] If Bess and I had a son, we'd want him to be just like Jimmy Stewart. |
| 14 | Richard Nixon is a no-good lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in. |
| 15 | I don't want this office, this responsibility, any longer, even if you want me. Find the strongest and most able and God bless you. Good-bye. |
| 16 | Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it. |
| 17 | A president cannot always be popular. |
| 18 | I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell. |
| 19 | [his journal entry after visiting Berlin shortly after VE Day.] Never have I seen such a sorrowful sight. I hope for a swift end to this war but I fear that the machines are ahead of morals by some centuries. |

| 10 | During the Korean War, a soldier was killed and had received the Purple Heart for his heroic duties. However, the soldier's family sent the Purple Heart back to Truman with a letter telling him how he it was his fault that their son died. For the rest of his days, Truman kept that Purple Heart on his desk as a reminder about all of the difficult decisions that came with being President. |
| 11 | First U.S. President to appear on television delivering an address from the White House (October 5, 1947). |
| 12 | Term limits were introduced during his presidency, making him the last president who could have been elected a third time. |
| 13 | Truman loved to play poker, and enjoyed introducing unorthodox versions of the game, such as numerous wild cards. |
| 14 | In November of 1948, when Truman scored his upset presidential re-election victory, Bob Hope sent him a one-word telegram: "Unpack". Truman was so amused by it he kept it in his desk in the Oval Office. |
| 15 | In his last will and testament, executed in January 1959, he divided the bulk of his estate, valued at $600,000 to his wife and daughter. He also left a plot of land in Grandview, Missouri to his Masonic Lodge and $15,000 to be divided among various nieces, nephews, and their children. |
| 16 | Once owned a haberdashery where he sold men's clothing and suits. |
| 17 | Following his term as President, Truman received all kinds of offers for speaking engagements, or to plug commercial products. He turned them all down because he knew they did not want him, they wanted the endorsement of a president. He refused to compromise the dignity of the office. |
| 18 | His nickname for his wife Bess Truman was, "The Boss". |
| 19 | Sharply criticized a music critic for the man's caustic remarks about his daughter Margaret Truman's piano recital. |
| 20 | When he returned to Independence, Missouri, after choosing not to seek another term, there were no pensions at the time granted to former Presidents. He and Mrs. Truman survived solely on his military pension for service in World War I. |
| 21 | Hated air conditioning, and used fans in his office. |
| 22 | During his time in the U.S. Senate, he was known as the most amiable member. |
| 23 | Vice President of the United States (1945). |
| 24 | U.S. Senator from Missouri (1935-1945). |
| 25 | In 1953 he made a well remembered departing speech from the end platform of the Baltimore & Ohio Rairload's National Limited train on leaving Washington, DC, for his home town of Independence, Missouri. |
| 26 | Was the only US president of the modern era not to have a college education. |
| 27 | Pictured on a commerative 4 cent postage label issued by the (now defunct) Independent Postal System of America in 1973. |
| 28 | Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" (1945 and 1948). |
| 29 | Referred to the White House as "the big white prison". |
| 30 | Pictured on a 20¢ US definitive postage stamp in the Great Americans series, issued 26 January 1984. |
| 31 | Pictured on an 8¢ US commemorative postage stamp issued in his honor, 8 May 1973 (anniversary of birth immediately following his death). |
| 32 | Served in World War I in the US Army as a captain in an artillery unit. He was the first and only combat veteran of the war to be elected President. |
| 33 | Popularized - but did not invent - the phrase "The Buck Stops Here.". |
| 34 | Inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians, 1991. |
| 35 | Father of Margaret Truman, writer of popular murder mysteries set in Washington, DC. |
| 36 | In the 1948 presidential election, the right-wing Chicago Tribune, in a famous headline that was published before the election returns were completely in, declared that Truman had been "defeated" by Republican Thomas E. Dewey. The paper got a rude shock the next day when complete election returns showed Truman winning the presidency by a comfortable margin. |
| 37 | Arguably, the two most controversial decisions of his presidency were the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, and later the decision to relieve Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his command during the Korean Conflict. Truman took that step because MacArthur indirectly insulted the President by making policy pronouncements about how HE would handle the war--in direct contravention to the principle of US military leaders carrying out policy, not making it--and strongly implying that the limited conflict in Korea should be turned into a war against Russia and China. Also, during a scheduled meeting between the two in Korea, MacArthur ordered that Truman's plane be kept circling while his (MacArthur's) plane be allowed to land first. Truman took that, correctly, as a direct slap in the face to the office of the Presidency, and many historians believe it cemented his decision to relieve MacArthur of command. |
| 38 | Many of Truman's family had either owned slaves, held pro-slavery views, or openly supported the Confederacy, and Truman grew up in an environment that harbored many racist views. While beginning his political career, he was encouraged to join the Ku Klux Klan (and ultimately declined). Nonetheless, Truman went on to espouse civil rights platforms and became the first twentieth century president to push strongly for civil rights legislation for blacks. In 1948, over the strong objections of top Defense Department officials, Army leadership and conservatives in Congress, he ordered the abolition of separate units for black and white soldiers, thus integrating the US armed forces. |
| 39 | His middle initial, "S", did not stand for anything. Truman's grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young, both argued over whose would be the child's middle name. In the end, they agreed to make "S" his middle name, and Truman's full name was Harry S. Truman. |

| 41 | Born at 4:17pm-CST. |
| 42 | Elected President of the US in 1948 and served until 1953. |
