That's just peachy. Put it to good use someday. I was drafted three months before the first lottery was held. Woulda been number 312. Some years you da windshield, some years you da bug...

Mine became ashes in a Denny's restaurant while discussing the war over coffee. Nobody ever asked to see it afterwards, so it turned out to be no big deal. TP

One fellow in my high school class had the #1 birthday picked for the first draft..........he was #1. He also said it was the first thing he had ever won in his life!!!! ( at least he had a sense of humor about it ). He didn't end up in the Army but spent a few months in a state of perpetual fear! When I think of Vietnam I always associate it with the song, " Hey Jude", by the Beatles. Those days were full of rebellion on all levels. IT was the era when the babies through out the bath water and the tub it was sitting in.
