Happy Birthday Harry Truman
Harry S Truman - POTUS #33 was born May 8, 1884 in Lamar Missouri. Truman, a Baptist, grew up on a farm in Missouri and served as a lieutenant in World War One. After returning from the war he was a haberdasher but failed in business and instead decided to go into politics first serving as a county judge and then United States Senator. In the 1944 presidential election Franklin D Roosevelt ran for an unprecedented fourth term and picked Truman as his Vice President. With only 87 days in the job and Roosevelt‘s death in Warm Springs Georgia, Harry S Truman becomes the 33rd President of the United States of America.
