Listen "Presidency of Harry S. Truman Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
We begin our coverage of Harry S. Truman, which will be done over three parts. Part one will discuss the early life and the beginnings ofhis political career.
Truman was born in Lamar Missouri on May 8, 1884. He was named after his uncle Harrison and was given the middle initial of S to honor both of his grandfathers.
Back in 1905, Truman joined the Missouri National Guard. Knowing his poor eye sight might prevent him from being accepted, he memorized the eye chart! When the US got involved in WWI in 1917, Truman reenlisted, he was 33 years old. He served in France and is the only US President who saw military action in WWI.
In 1922, Truman began his time in public office.
