FORT SMITH, Ark. (KTHV) – On March 25, 1958, Elvis Presley entered the U.S. Army at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, marking the day he got a GI haircut that included shaving those famous sideburns.
According to MojoTraveler writer Diana Lambdin Meyer, teenage girls wrote letters passionately begging President Dwight Eisenhower to intervene, and avert the "crisis" that was Elvis getting a haircut.
In honor of the 56th anniversary of this day, folks can get their hair cut on Wednesday for free by descendents of the same barber who cut Elvis' hair.
