     Orlis Voorhees, son of Richard V. Voorhees and Martha Backer, was born on 21 December 1915 at Gladstone, New Jersey.1

     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. Orlis filled out a draft card for World War II on 16 October 1940 (at age 24), while living at Valley View Terrace, Gladstone, Somerset, New Jersey. He was working for Metropolitan Life Insurance at the time.2

     Orlis enlisted in the U. S. ARMY on 18 February 1942, at Fort Dix, New Jersey. His rank was Private, and his release was 30 Aug 1943.3

     Orlis lived at 60 Mercer apt 1A, Somerville, Bound Brook, New Jersey, in 1948. The reference indicating a wife, Virginia M.4

     Orlis died on 12 October 1995, at Paramus Borough, Bergen, New Jersey, at age 79.1,5,6
