“A Date with Elvis.” I got this record a couple of months ago. It was released in 1959, while Elvis was in the Army. It is a super cool record! I really like the cover of this record.

Colossians 1:13

Today’s record is one that I have shared before. From 1960, the record is called “Elvis is Back.” This record was released after Elvis returned from the Army. I got the record back in September of last year, and it is hands down, my favorite record in my collation. Here’s why…

My Pa severed in Army for many years. One day, my Pa was stationed in Germany for a night. Elvis was also stationed at the same place as my Pa! My Pa spent the night at the same place as Elvis, and met him. However, believe or not, my Pa had never heard of Elvis Presley before this! (Again, he had been in the Army for many years, and probably did not keep up with who was popular back in the day.) He found out years later who Elvis was, and that they had been stationed together for a night. I have a picture of my Pa below. I think that was so awesome, so sad that he didn’t get an Autograph from Elvis.

Thank you to all whom severed our country! You are much appreciated.

Revelation 21:4

Today’s record is “G.I. Blues.” “G.I. Blues” was a movie starring Elvis Presley, and was released in 1961. It was the first movie released after Elvis returned from the Army. With hits like “G.I. Blues,” “Pocket full of Rainbows,” “Blue Suede shoes,” and one of my person favorite, “Frankford Special.” This is one of my favorite records I own!

Proverbs 16:9

I went to my Nana’s house, and she showed me this letter that my grandfather wrote home from WW2. My grandfather’s name was Mitcheom, he sadly lost his life fighting in WW2. He was the father of my Granny. He died when my Granny was a year old, in 1943. However, his body was not returned home until she was in the first grade. I thought this was really cool, and I am trying to convince her to let me have it! 😂

John 15:13

Theses records are from the time Elvis Presley was in the army. Elvis Presley was drafted into the army in March 24, 1958. He severed for two years, driving tanks. He was stationed in Germany, and met his wife, Priscilla, while in the Army. Elvis returned from the army in 1960. these are the years these records were released.
