Thank you for sharing all of that, hunny. These events are difficult for me to wrap my mind around. Having never experienced a draft, I can't fathom what it must have been like.
It's frustrating to me that there are so few people willing to share these stories with my generation. My mother won't speak about it beyond the fact that most of her male friends and schoolmates died in Viet Nam, and that she feels incredibly lucky that the draft passed up my father because of a broken arm.
