holiday, he had four sons in military service. first lady eleanor roosevelt said, i hope next year we ll all be home. but even at that time, roosevelt was secretly very ill and died a few months after the holiday. harry truman suddenly became president after fdr died in april of 1945 and he had to deal with ending world war ii around the globe, many problems in the aftermath of war, and at the same time, a crisis in his marriage. bess truman had been accustomed to being very much involved in what her husband was doing as a senator from missouri, but the second he became president, he had to read up on what a president should do and look at intelligence documents to the point that he felt that he didn t have very much time to explain to his wife what he was doing, and she was so furious at christmastime after months of
the war, and then it became pretty much all on one side. they were an enemy, but they were a convenient ally at the time. there was always suspicion between the big three, referring to winston churchill, stalin, and fdr, and churchill and fdr never really trusted stalin, but he was a valuable ally in mounting a campaign from the east toward germany and the eventual victory over germany. but you know, the funny thing not the funny thing, but everything happened, it seems like, every day was a red letter day in april of 1945. fdr dies and this is a world shaking event. he s essentially the president of the world. he s not only our government is supplying the united states and great britain and the soviet union in the fight against germany. so he is this is an earth shaking event. hitler commits suicide.

one is his sense of humor but two what you just said, his view that everybody on capitol hill is absolutely equal, men, women, no matter what you look like. and he lived that and carried it out in his staff and staff honestly that is still there today. yeah, he led by example. bill: jo, i thought one of the most impressive stories i read about bob dole last night and again this morning is when he was wounded. in april of 1945. you imagine the theater in europe is about to conclude, what, a month later and he gets grievously injured in the army test 10th mountain division, a german shell strikes his upper back and right arm. shatters his collarbone and part of his spine. his quote is this. i lay face down in the dirt. i could not see or move my arms. i thought they were missing. he was paralyzed from the neck down, transported later to a
