Think big. Then spend your life making it happen. Truman never settled for small plans — and neither should we. #TruWordsTuesday #TrumanLegacy #HarrySTruman

A WWI veteran himself, Truman understood sacrifice. Days after taking office in 1945, he told the armed forces:
"America will never forget their sacrifices."
Neither will we. This Memorial Day, we honor all who gave everything. 🇺🇸
