💡 FORT SMITH FACT OF THE WEEK

A unique and fun historical fact about Fort Smith, Arkansas is that it was the site of Elvis Presley's first military haircut in 1958. After being drafted into the U.S. Army, Elvis received his iconic buzz cut at Fort Chaffee, which was then a military installation near Fort Smith. This event made headlines and marked a significant moment in the King of Rock and Roll's career, as it symbolized his transition from a civilian entertainer to a soldier serving his country

⭐ MY FORT SMITH FAVORITES: LUNCH OR DINNER
