A President’s Message of Belief and Peace

13 Jan

Last week my research took me to a speech that President Harry Truman gave on December 24, 1946, at the lighting ceremony for the National Christmas  Tree.

When the subject of events in the news came up in the conversation, one person said that he believes that 99 percent of Americans are good, law-abiding people.
