Discharge

The allotment discontinuance and notice of discharge was given to Truman Warner at the end World War 2, effective January 31, 1946. The reason for separation is listed as “released”.

On January 31, 1946, Truman Warner was discharged from the United States Armed Services. His tour over the course of four years had finally ended and the war was over. Yet, he did not just leave everything he learned while in the armed forces in Europe. Warner brought back home with him the love of other cultures, an intellectual mind that had the opportunity to learn even more about how people lived outside of a culture like that of the United States. He brought back his interest in teaching and exploring, to be able to give the knowledge he had learned to others.

Warner’s discharge from the army was only the closing of one chapter in his life, where the book would continue onto new ideas and interests.

This letter to Truman Warner is signed by Harry S. Truman, the President of the United States at the time of World War II. The letter represents President Truman’s acknowledgement of Warner’s participation and service to the United States Army. He received it after he was safely discharged from the military, after the war had ended.
