There are damn lies!"" And there are statistics!"Keeping that in mind, let's look at a few 70thstatistics. According to a " Trailblazer" issuedat Ft. Leonard Wood in 1944, of the 15,000men in the Division, averages were:Height: 5'9"Weight: 149 \lzRank: Not quite PFCAge: 31Eleven percent of the Division came fromPennsylvania, the largest contingent fromany state.To many of us that average age seems out ofwhack. The "Camp Adair Sentry," when fillersfo r the new division were arriving in Oregonin August, 1943, reported that " most ofthem are in the 18-to-20-year class.'' Perhapsthe explanati on is that at the end of basictraining at the start of 1944, all privates andpri vates first class were taken fro m the Divisionand sent out as replacements.

C , 275th, differfrom the official numbers. Charlie Co. averageweight was 165 pounds, the average age was20 \!z and average rank was over PFC. Thethree old men of the company were I st Lt KarlGrotheer at 34 , T/Sgt John Rusley, 33 , andS/Sgt Tom Higley, 3 1. Oscar Coleman, whowas a rifleman at 35 years of age, challengesthe top three.If you are a veteran in the 45- to 63-year agebracket, there are more of you in each year'sgroup than there are non-veterans.There are now 28.5 million men and womenwho have served in the military forces. Fourfifths of them served during war time. Thereare 12 million from our war , The Big War; 4 .3million from the Korean conflict and 7.4 millionfrom VietNam . Some 49 1,000 World WarI veterans still li ve.Veterans make up 16.9 percent of Americanswho are older than 16 .January, 198615
