The “Fourth Registration,” a draft conducted on April 27, 1942 for all men between the ages of 45 and 64, are the only draft cards that have been made available to the public. They include one-third of the total registrations—about 3 million. We’ve recently added cards for the state of Illinois, meaning we now have cards for 17 states, plus Puerto Rico. See the collection for a complete list of states. Kathie Mirabella **************Dell Deals: Don’t miss huge summer savings on popular laptops starting at $449.
