     Gordon Howard Johnson, son of Hugo Albert Johnson and Hedvig Adelaide Johnson, was born on 17 May 1928 at Washington.1,2

     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just about a year before that, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history, due to rising world conflicts. After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. Gordon filled out a draft card for World War II on 21 May 1946 (at age 18), while living at 4000 31st West, Seattle, King, Washington. He was a Student University Of Washington.2

     Gordon married Beverlee Ann Layng on 29 March 1951, at Aberdeen, Grays Harbor, Washington.3 Gordon Howard Johnson witnessed the death of Gordon Howard Johnson on 9 May 2011 at Thurston, Washington.4
