On the termination of the emergency, all persons discharged from the military service who were, upon draft into federal service, members of the Vermont National Guard shall resume their membership in the Vermont National Guard, and shall continue to serve in the Vermont National Guard until the dates upon which their enlistments prior to their draft would have expired if uninterrupted.
