Celebrities Who You Didn’t Know Served In The Military
When you think of Hollywood, the thing that first comes to mind are luxuries like big houses and flashy cars. Something that definitely does not come up is Hollywood stars and their self-sacrificing and courageous nature, especially those who served in the military. Knowing that physical appearance is of paramount importance to celebs, we were surprised to find out that some famous people from showbiz had risked their lives to serve the nation. They enlisted without even thinking of themselves, knowing fully that they could need pain management or physical therapy if they were ever injured or harmed. Its common knowledge that some big names like Chuck Norris and Elvis Presley enlisted in the military, but scroll down to discover more notable names that will shock you.
Elvis Presley
Other celebrities on our list joined the military before they became famous, but it’s a different story with the ‘King of Rock & Roll’. Elvis Presley had two hit songs out, Heartbreak Hotel and Hound Dog, before he was drafted in the army. But Presley was more than willing to provide his services to his country, reasoning that if ordinary men his age were required to do it, then why not him? The stations where Elvis were deployed were in Fort Hood at Texas, and in the 1st Medium Tank Battalion 32D Armor at Friedberg, Germany. Incidentally, it was in Germany where Elvis met future wife Priscilla Beaulieu, who was probably still attending school then.
