Famous Faces You Didn’t Know Were Veterans

Celebrities are often thought to be leading exciting lives; full of luxury, glamour and all things Hollywood. However, sometimes when you dig a little deeper you find that celebrities have also sometimes paid their dues in the more normal working field; they led interesting alternative lives before they found their fame. Here we will reveal a selection of celebrities that have served in the military.

Elvis Presley

Elvis served, surprisingly, right after his hit “Hound Dog” released. He enlisted in the Army and famously shared, “The army can do anything it wants with me. Millions of other guys have been drafted , and I don’t want to be different from anyone else.”

Drew Carey

Long before this man became a comedian on The Drew Carrey Show or a host on The Price is Right, he served six full years in the U.S. Marine Corps.
