Yup. Even the Navy puts a period after the "S" which is not technically

Interesting that you have the former president's name spelled correctly
but the navy does not.

It is Harry S Truman, not Harry S. Truman. He was emphatic about not
having a period after the S in his name because, he said, he didn't have
a middle name, just an initial. I read that many years ago in a bio of
Truman.



Guess again, as someone else posted, he actually used a period in his
signature, and the period is used in the name of his library.

I have understood for years that there was no period after the "S". Tim's
link was the first bit of information
that had evidence to the contrary. Learn something new everyday, I guess.
I suspect Paul was informed as I was.
