Today we traveled to Independence, MO, hometown of Give 'em Hell Harry Truman. We wanted to visit the Truman presidential museum and library. The boyhood home was a mile away from the museum and run by a different outfit; we decided not to bother to go see it. There was a fair amount of information on the atomic bomb decision, his being the first national leader to recognize Israel as a nation, creation of the United Nations, the Marshall plan (by his Sec'y of State), and the Berlin Airlift.
We stayed at the Campus RV Park, 406 S. Pleasant, Independence 64050, 888-254-3750.
