A number of years back, I did a google search of my grandfathers who were both born in the mid 1890s. I was connected to ancestry.com where I got some freebees... I was surprised to see that their names were registered with Selective Service. I thought, that cant be....they do not draft guys their age. But now I see the reason. my dad and uncles, all in their 20s were either inducted, or like dad, joined up. Granpas were both in non defense industries, so this was a non issue for either of them.
