Very good thinking, Laurie. You are correct! The owl is a symbol of wisdom and a symbol of the city of Athens in ancient Greece - capital of "wisdom" (philosophy, science and arts) in those days.

"Many Greek Americans revere Truman for his aid to Greece during his presidency. Legislation adopted during the Truman administration allowed 10,000 refugees of a civil war in Greece to enter the United States, bringing a second wave of Greek immigrants to this area in the 1950s.

Also, it was Truman, during the early years of the Cold War, who through financial aid ensured Greece did not become a communist nation."
