Elvis Presley received his draft notice in December 1957 at the height of his popularity. He reported for duty in March 1958 and completed basic training at Fort Hood, Texas, before being assigned to Friedberg, Germany. Presley served as a member of the 3rd Armored Division. Despite offers to serve in a special entertainment unit, Elvis chose regular service to prove his commitment. During his time in Germany, he met Priscilla Beaulieu, who later became his wife. He was honorably discharged in March 1960. His service boosted his image as a patriotic American and further solidified his legendary status.
