Elvis Aaron Presley: King of Rock 'n Roll or The King We all know Elvis right? But Did You Know he was drafted into the Army in March of 1958? He was already famous at the time and instead of trying to get out of the service he said he didn't want to be treated any differently then anyone else. He would serve in the 3rd Armored Division in Germany. He would serve his full 24 month enlistment before being honorably discharged and returning to his amazing musical and movie career.
