This small federal agency
which ran the World War II
draft from October 1940
through the war's end is now
searching for men and women
who had any official connec-
tion with the Selective Service
System during that period of
time, but not the draftees them-
selves.
"Our search does not include
the 10 million men who were
drafted during the war, because
their distinguished service is
being commemorated by the
military and veterans groups.
Instead, we’re limiting our
search to identify anybody still
alive who worked for the Se-
lective Service System itself,
either as a volunteer or em-
ployee," explained Raymond
Scoufos, state director of Selec-
tive Service for Oklahoma.
"These individuals may in-
clude volunteer board members,
office workers, state directors,
or reserve officers who served
the agency in any official ca-
pacity. They worked for the
draft system in virtually every
city and town throughout
America."
Scoufos said that records
showing who worked with Se-
lective Service during the war
were not kept. When identi-
fied, the agency's World War
II volunteers and employees
will receive letters of appreci-
ation, commemorative posters,
and distinguished Selective
Service lapel pins.
