Iowa City contributed to the nation's World War II effort in a major way by sending 90 Iowa City National Guard soldiers in the 136th Medical Regiment of the Division Surgeon's Office and Company G of the 136th Medical Regiment and 103 Iowa City soldiers in Troop I of the 113th Cavalry. That sacrifice is recalled in 1991 when 139 Eastern Iowans belonging to the Iowa City-based 209th Medical Company went to the Persian Gulf War for tours of five to six months. Dr. Raymond Bunge and Dr. William Keettel said that, after three years of trial and error, they learned to freeze sperm with dry ice. They published their results only twice because they were afraid the procedure may have caused birth defects. The first sperm bank opened in the early 1970s after Bunge and Keettel successfully performed the procedure more than 100 times.
