The first thing he became aware of was the faded envelope in his mother’s hand. And the big bold print at the top. Order To Report For Armed Forces Physical Examination. And there was his name, printed by hand, and a stamp just below that to show it was legal, and valid.
Eric was being drafted.

Summary
He skip-walks across the cracked walkway leading from the church to his modest little single story home on the north end of the church's land. And it's there that he finds a figure huddled under the narrow awning above the front door. A jumpy young thing, pale and shivering and soaked right through.
"The church is a hundred feet from the road," he shouts over the wind, "but bless your soul, boy, I find you all the way back here at my door."
Something's struck the young man dumb, as talkative as a babe left in a basket. As he nears Preston checks his chest for a water-logged note pinned to his dirty white tee shirt, expecting he's some sort of overgrown abandoned child.
"Lord," he looks to the sky through his umbrella, "just what have you sent my way?"

Summary
Some families pass on watches, furniture, recipes, or books from generation-to-generation; the Klinger family pass on dresses.
It’s 1965 and 18-year-old Jamil Klinger has just received his draft papers. His father sends him to Missouri to visit a cousin he says is the custodian of a family tradition which can help Jamil dodge the draft. But Jamil’s cousin gives him something which has far more impact on his life than just a way to evade the draft.
----
“The Klinger clan has a unique solution when it comes to avoiding military service.”
“What’s that?”
“Insanity!” Said Max with a flourish of his hand.
“I… uh…” Jamil faltered. This really had been a wasted trip.
Max clocked Jamil’s discomfort. “Oh, it’s a fool-proof technique. Guaranteed to work.”
“Didn’t you serve in Korea?” Asked Jamil.
“Yeah… Sometimes it fails,” Max admitted. “But I was this close to getting my section 8 discharge.”
“Okay…” Jamil said. He’d come this far. He may as well find out what this was all about now he was here. -

“Have you ever been in love?”
George lets out a short breath. “No.”
Dream nods contemplatively, and George can feel his eyes on him.
“That’s a shame,” Dream replies quietly.
They’re silent for a while before George finally speaks up again, voice barely above a whisper.
“I think I’d like to fall in love though. At least once.”
__________
George falls in love with a strange boy in a strange country in the summer of 1967. As time passes by each other's side, it becomes all too clear that their small town in Virginia is more of a cage than a home, and George wants out.
