Truman Day is a commemorative holiday to celebrate the birth of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. It is celebrated in Missouri as a state holiday, according to Missouri Revised Statutes Section 9-035 Public Holidays[1] and nationally by the United States Democratic Party.[2] Since Truman was the only president to come from Missouri, this day is special for this state.[3][4] However, after the financial crisis of 2008-2010, there were moves by the state government to abolish the holiday, but it remains to this day.[5] For Missouri state employees, this is a paid holiday.[6]
