On This Day, December 26, 1972

Yes, on this day, December 26, 1972 we, Missouri and the nation, lost a great man. 

Missouri state history---On this day, December 26, 1972, President Harry S Truman dies at age 88 in Independence,.

The 33rd president of the US dies of multiple-organ failure after several weeks in the hospital. His wife, Bess, will opt for a small private burial in their hometown of Independence, Missouri, instead of a state funeral in DC, thinking it a more fitting goodbye for the down-to-earth Truman.

We miss you, sir. We've missed you since you passed. We miss your wisdom, your guidance and your efforts for the more common man and woman--working people of the nation.

Thank you for all you did for us.
