He also registered for the draft, WWI. But I suspect that as a married man with a big family he would not have been drafted.

The so-nicknamed "Old Man Draft" of 1942 was a real thing. The hope was to have services from the elders for security and other things in US in case of invasion... |

| The "Old Man Draft" was a little before my time, but I remember the draft very well. I registered for the draft in 1958 and in 1964 I got my draft notice. I had been expecting it so had made some plans. I went out to Fort Snelling and joined the Army Reserves as a part of the 5501 Army Field Hospital. Six years as a medic in the Army Reserves. Not a bad place to be in those times. |
