Sherman Hemsley
The first name that pops into our heads when we see his picture is “George Jefferson” and there’s a good reason for that. But before he had us laughing in “The Jeffersons”, he served in the U.S. Air Force. He served for four years in Japan and Korea, then went on to become a mailman in Philadelphia before making the big time.

John Coltrane
John Coltrane was one of the most significant saxophonists in music history. He enlisted in the Navy on one of the most historical days in war history – August 6th, 1945 – the day America dropped the “Little Boy” atomic bomb on Hiroshima. He then moved to the base of Pearl Harbor where he joined a swing band called “The Melody Masters”.
