July 5, 1947. My father shot it on early Kodachrome. I donated one (video tape) to the library in Bolivar. But never heard from them. I donated the film to the HST Presidential Library.

A very unassuming and decent man.

According to the Presidency Project that lists Truman's speech, it took place on July 5th, 1948.

Great video. Just seen the Venezuelan flag along with the USA flag brough tears to my eyes. My deepest thanks to rednil08 who included this video which is also Venezuelan history

Yes, according to some sources it is correct. Now, President Romulo Gallegos traveled to Bolivar, MO to meet President Harry Truman in order to dedicate a statue (monument) to Simon Bolivar. Bolivar, TN es dedicated after this South American independence hero.
