    3. You know that I pop in and out here, whenever I find some new information. And boy, did I find more information! As a tribute to Veteran's Day, I've been able to locate the WWII draft registrations and the service records on our Gorin boys. They are said to be complete, but I know they aren't, I know several that are missing. For a few posts, I am going to go thru this records with you, in alphabetical order. I love finding extra info on my files and hope you will find this helpful. I will indicate in parenthesis which ancestor they are descended from: Cecil E. Gorin (Gladin).
