Underneath the Army helmet is none other than Pvt. Elvis Presley as he arrived in Friedberg, West Germany, in October 1958.

On this Memorial Day weekend, remember Elivs was a great American, and a veteran.

During his stint in the Army, the greatest and most famous entertainer in the world served as a chauffeur.

From the Kansas City Star:

Fort Leavenworth deputy commander honored

Jack Walker, deputy to the garrison commander at Fort Leavenworth, doesn’t want to be known as the man Elvis Presley chauffeured.

Indeed, Walker’s 50-year career in the federal government earned him special recognition Thursday from Fort Leavenworth Commander Lt. Gen. William Caldwell.

Walker, 74, oversees the post’s day-to-day affairs. Before starting that job in 1985, his lengthy army career included a stint in 1958 at Fort Hood, Texas, where the young Presley drove Walker while undergoing basic training.

“I hope I have done something that warrants more on my tombstone than, ‘Elvis was his driver,’ ” he said.

Oh, I don't know. Sounds pretty cool to me.
