Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Sad Sack

Here is Elvis carrying his laundry just like his fellow soldiers. During his service, he recorded five songs while he was on leave. His mother also died of heart failure at age 46, and Presley, who was close to her into his adulthood, was devastated.

The soldiers introduced Presley to karate, which he studied seriously and included in his later live performances. During his time in West Germany, he met his future wife Priscilla Beaulieu. Weirdly, she was just 14-years-old at the time. He married her after a seven-year courtship. Elvis was honorably discharged in 1960 with the rank of sergeant.
