(87) ELVIS and VETERANS OF THE UNITED STATES

Elvis Presley was a proud veteran of the U.S. army and a patriot, as I am, as my brothers were, and my father too (WW I). Some of my ancestors also served in the Civil War.

Elvis and I came from a tradition in which military service was honorable. Elvis didn't believe than any entertainer should be political openly. But I can tell you this, he was for the veteran. He gripped when veteran benefits were cut. And my guess is that today, whatever his feelings might be about the War in Iraq, Elvis would stand behind the veterans who serve there.
