Young Men Turning
26 In 1990
Young men who will turn 26 in 1990
will be reaching an important milestone,
according to the Selective Service System.
Beginning on Jan. 1, 1990, men who
were required to register with Selective
Service in 1982 will be turning 26 and will
no longer be eligible for induction should a
draft be reinstituted. Selective Service does
not have the authority to accept late regis
trations after a man reaches his 26th birth
day.
Selective Service State Representative
Jerry R. Matthews warned that with few
exceptions, a man who fails to register
before turning 26 will permanently forfeit
his eligibility for certain benefits, such as
federal student aid, job training and most
federal employment in addition to facing
possible prosecution as a felon.
Some states also require registration
for state student aid, entrance to state sup
ported colleges and universities, state
employment and permission to practice
law,
Matthews also points out that men age
18 through 25 who have not yet registered
can avoid the risk of prosecution and loss of
benefits by registering promptly at any
local post office. Failure to register is a
felon punishable by a fine of up to $250,000,
up to five years in prison, or both.

We lived for it,
We died for it.
The pain, the anguish, the fear.
The fear lives.
It is strong, so very strong.
The sounds pierce our minds.
They never go away,
But we try to forget.
Freedom-it lives in our hearts.
Stronger than life itself.
Death for freedom-
Pain, frustration, anguish,
The cry is real.
Freedom! Why?
To fight, to always Tight.
To never forget.
Head held high!
Thank God for the cry of freedomj
