Discharged from the Army
After nearly two years serving his country in the US Army, Elvis Presley left Germany on March 1, 1960. His discharge prompted a whirlwind of media events and studio sessions, many which had been in the making for months. A press conference was held immediately upon his arrival in New Jersey. Officially discharged, Elvis boarded a train for Memphis with his final paycheck in the amount of $9.81. The press and crowds were everywhere. Fans lined the railroad tracks in a blinding snowstorm to watch him pass by. Thousands of fans went wild when Elvis stepped off the train in Memphis in full dress uniform. Yet another press conference was held at Graceland before he was allowed to return to civilian life.
