the welders we had were almost all too old to be drafted - and welders who are trained in welding armor plate would have been needed on the home front for sure - plus keep in mind that York didn't just make new vehicles - it did lots of re-manufactures and upgrades as well
The Army made sure that those welders stayed right where they were after 9/11 for sure - we didnt lose any of them to call-ups, even the ones in the Guard or the Reserve - not with all the Bradley's, M88's and MRAP's we were working on
