To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Elvis' induction into the U.S. Army, Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis honored members of the military, veterans, firefighters and law enforcement with a weekend in March.

The weekend also marked the opening of an expanded Private Presley exhibit at Elvis Presley's Memphis at Graceland. The exhibit features an in-depth look at Elvis’ military service, including letters from Elvis’ manager Col. Parker to the Army asking for a deferment to allow Elvis to complete filming of “King Creole,” letters from the Army regarding press access to Elvis, his original Army footlocker, the dress that his mother Gladys wore at his induction ceremony, and more.
