In this address to Congress at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Truman honors the memory of recently deceased President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman also vows to support the ideals of justice, peace, and liberty and calls on the nation to remain focused and dedicated to the fight for freedom and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan.
April 16th, 1945
Our presidents were different kinds of men then.
They were heroes in the face of evil.
They spoke frankly, and with respect to america and american values.
Now, our presidents are shifty and false.
They are opportunists.
They speak in circles with no respect or care for america, american values, and americans.
God bless these heroes of times past...
I only hope that their time comes round again.

Almost everyone in America underestimated Harry Truman when he became President, perhaps even President Truman himself.
