These were just selective service registration notices. Something I had to do in the summer of 1972 and I was even put through the draft lottery but, my number was so high that I would never be called up and by 1974, the Viet Nam conflict was in draw down prior to the pull out.
The notices are still sent out to all males 18 years of age. The story was generated by a number transposition mistake in birth years for the effected individuals. But still a shock for the relatives of these men. Most of whom are already deceased.
