Harry S. truman the thirty-third president of the united states, he was a great president and worked many jobs, he also was in the army.

Harry s. tueman born May 8, 1884 and died december 26, 1972. He lived in Lamar Missouri for the first four years of his life, then in 1890 moved to Independence Missouri, this is were he was raised for the rest o his life. His life hobbies were to read and compose music. His mother was Martha ellen truman and his father was John Anderson truman.

Because of his poor eyesight, Harry s. truman didnt have many friends. But that didnt stop him from pushing forward. He graduated high school in 1901. After he graduated high schoool, he aplied at West point college, but because of his poor eyesight he was turned down. After being turned down he worked in about 3 jobs. First he worked in the mail room of the kansas city post office, then he worked as an oil driller, finally deciding his carreer was going no where he joined the army. He searved in France when worl war 1 was in full force. He lefted the army in May 1919.

Harry s. truman particepated in many world affairs. He also particepated in forming the (UN). Also truman said a famous quote in one of his speeches about the government. He said " A leader in the democratic party is a boss, but a leader in the republican party is a leader". Also during the Korean war truman made many critical desicions regarding the victory of the U.S. During the war he fired Macarthur, Macarthur was the defensive coordinater of the U.S army. Truman fired him because he was making many stupid decisions. Truman firing Macarthur resulted in the victory of the U.S.

Haryy s. truman was a very lonley man that he was almost blind, when he was in school he was always made fun of by all the kids in the classroom, his hobbies were playing cards and writing music. Also the S in his name stands for nothing. In the fisrt six months of his presidency he brought the end to world war 2, he was the man who dropped the bombs on Hiroshema and Nagasaki. The similarites of president truman and I is that we both have the mind set that as soon as you put your mind to it you have to do it and that nothing can get in your way. The main diffrences president truman and I have is that he is a republican and im a democrat, also i dont belive in ending wars with killing inocent people. What inspires me about president truman is that even though nobody liked him he still pushed forward and made cautious decisions. He is a very inspiring man. Harry s. truman from the begining of his life to the end he acomplished many things such as participating in world affairs also bringing the end to two wars. from his little house in Missouri he moved into the white house. He is a truly inspiring man.
