Give 'em hell, Harry

Bremerton's claim to fame was slandered in the visitor center of Harry S. Truman National Historic Site!
.
Though Bremerton has a plaque on the corner of the old Elks building where Truman spoke in 1948, and two people in town say they were the ones who first yelled out "Give 'em hell, Harry", the ranger on duty said that isn't how it happened.  And, in fact, had been used earlier on the road trip Truman was making. 
.
Ah, well, we weren't there so what can we say.
