Herman and the Army



Herman and the Army

Fifty-one years ago Herman James, a West Virginia mountain man, was drafted by the Army.

On his first day in Basic, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair.

On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth.

On the third day the Army issued him a jock strap.

The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years.
