EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and historic moment captured in September 1917, President Woodrow Wilson stands before a glass container filled with numbered slips, each representing an American man eligible for the military draft during World War One. With a solemn expression and a blindfold covering his eyes, Wilson reaches out to make the first selection, marking the beginning of a random and suspenseful process that would determine the fate of countless young lives. The theatrical and dramatic nature of the scene underscores the gravity of the situation, as the suspense builds in the room and outside, millions of families held their breath, waiting to see if their loved one would be called to serve in the army or navy. The use of a blindfold ensured that the selection was fair and unbiased, adding an element of luck to the drafting process. This powerful image is a testament to the sacrifices made by the American people during the Great War and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this pivotal moment in our nation's history.
