Searching for Patriots

If you are researching a soldier from a more recent time, try to find his draft registration card. During World War I, the Selective Service System oversaw the registration of 24 million men from the ages of 18 to 45. However, it is important to remember that these draft cards are not technically military records, as new records began when the individual reported to training camp.
