# Veterans complete	1932
Total # veterans	1959

·         Limited 1940 census variables for Sample B grandsons

o   Those of us who have finished our work on the wives sample are adding 1940 variables to the death screen for grandsons

o   We have completed 1026 soldiers or 56.2% of Sample B

·         It will not take us much longer to finish the limited 1940 variables. What should we do next? Add death screens for Sample B granddaughters?
