I missed that dance. Richard Nixon (my favorite president) cancelled the draft in the spring of my senior year. Sitting with a lottery number of 21, I was bound for Southeast Asia. I consider myself fortunate to have "escaped" the draft. Those were not good times. I am forever grateful to the Vets who have gotten the job done, back then, and now. In their honor I stand the flaglines with PGR.
My son is currently serving with the 10th Mountain Division.
