~ family history...

Ancestry.com is allowing free searches through military records until May 27.  I hopped on over there and found this!

~ my family history...

It is a draft registration card from 1942 for my great-grandfather!  From what I have researched, even though my great-grandfather was 58 years old at the time this draft was taking place, he was required to register.  It is called the old man's draft.  This little piece of paper answers many questions for me.  It was a great find!

If you are interested in your own family history, you should hop on over to ancestry.com today or tomorrow -- before the free military search access is over.
