Greetings guitarplayer1953:

The 26th Amendment was very significant in your sake; old enough for war but not old enought to vote. If 1953 is your birth year, guessing Ground Hog Day 1972 was an important lottery drawing day at your parent’s home? Draft ended my freshman year in high school.

Cheers,
OLA

By 1972 I was deemed unfit for military service. Due to the fact I had a class E felony for being caught with barbiturates. The reason I know this is I had tried to join the navy went through the first round of test flying colors second round of test at a local air force base did real well there to. Though I was on my way to the navy when the recruiter came by our house and said that because of the drug problems of vets in VN they could not take me.
