Elvis The Soldier
It’s not altogether uncommon to find a celebrity who enlisted in the army before they rose to fame. For Elvis Presley, this happened after he had gained worldwide recognition, as in 1958 he was called to service for the US army. Already well known then, people couldn’t believe that they were serving beside someone who was widely considered a national gem. He was discharged early when his mother had a heart attack, and he wished to be by her side.
