Thanksgiving 1950 – With a Jeep for an altar and the Manchurian hills rising behind him, Chaplain Burgess P. Riddle of San Antonio leads Thanksgiving services on the frozen banks of the Yalu River in Korea. We’re thankful for their service – for the service of *all* US troops.

For President Truman, labor wasn’t a special interest—it was the national interest. TRU then. TRU now. 📸 Photo: President Truman in Detroit, MI, where he delivered a 1948 Labor Day speech. And boy, was he was fired up. You can read his message here 👉ow.ly/iLZM50WOsJK

A WORD FROM HARRY on #WomensEqualityDay: "In 1920 there occurred one of the great events in history—the Constitution was amended to extend suffrage to women. Men and women alike should give thanks for an America in which women can stand on the level footing as full citizens."

OTD in 1945 President Truman announced the unconditional surrender of Japan. News that WWII was over sent millions into the streets—crying, cheering, celebrating peace at last. Rewind to 1945 and listen to the historic CBS coverage of #ThisDayinHistory 👉 ow.ly/I5Ia50WG3JQ

Happy Left-Handers Day!👋 Harry Truman was born a southpaw who was forced to write with his right hand as a child. His true self came through at the ballpark, where he threw 16 ceremonial first pitches during his time in office (1945–1953).
