After being drafted in 1958 Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) joined the 3rd Armored Division who were stationed at Ray Barracks in Friedberg. He choose to not receive any special treatment and was respected for not joining Special Services, which would have allowed him to avoid certain duties and maintain his public profile.
