Truman is #1 President in history. His 7 years were the most critical in the world's history. He rebuilt Europe, not in his name (Marshall Act - smart), ended the war as a rookie Prez, and did the whistle stop 1948 campaign that led to "Dewwy Defeats Truman" visit his library in Missouri

Coconut Mango, If a conventional invasion of Japan would have been launched, millions of people wold have died. As it was, approximately 200,000 died from the two bombs....You need to do the math.

808stevan1, A president of honesty and integrity. Something lacking in the White House today.

My father had just the letter J instead of a middle name. On one application they insisted on him spelling out his middle name whereupon he put in J(only). They thanked him for his application by sending a letter to Henry Jonly Peterson.

Uninitialized, in fact, it's supposed to be without a period (officially), but even the Truman Library sometimes adds it

Now that's different for a prez to have done. I wonder why... 🤔

AntibioticAdvantage1, not true. Just the opposite! Because it was just a letter, he never put the period after the S
Maestro1313
He thought it sounded more formal.

N00bPixie56523, No, its not supposed to have a period. A period denotes there is MORE letters to follow. "S" was his middle name. PERIOD

Pineapplechili61, what are you talking about
AntibioticAdvantage1
Harry Truman himself always spelt his name with a period after the S. It stood for Shippe or Solomon.

Coconut Mango, I hate this automatic filling. Just hope you're can make sense of it.
spdphd97
read William McCullough's biography of Truman. Mr. Truman himself said that he would use a period after the s
Pineapplechili61
so his middle initial is longer than his middle m
name
