        Wouldn't the claim number have been 000-00-0000A then?

        If that is the card, that’s Mr Truman’s Social Security number. Hmm…maybe not a good idea to have up online.

        Truman deserved it for proposing nat'l health care in 1945. BTW, his "middle name" was "S"; no period required. I'm sure you know that!

        Truman did sign his name "S.", so I correct my previous tweet by saying his middle name was "S."

        Truman kind of had it rough after his presidency I have read; one of the poorest ex-presidents in recent times.
