The Army offered a post that would allow Elvis to tour U.S. Army bases around the world, in an effort to improve troop morale and bolster recruitment numbers. The Pentagon also offered him the chance to join Special Services, which would mean he would not have to undergo regular soldier training but would still be able to entertain the troops.

Elvis declined all these offers and enlisted as a regular soldier. He was initially scheduled for induction in January 1958, but received an extension to finish the filming of the movie “King Creole.” 

He reported for duty on March 24, 1958. News reporters called it “Black Monday.”

Despite the media descriptions, Elvis’s recording career hardly missed a beat. During a two-week leave, he recorded five songs. And his record company, RCA, produced a steady stream of unreleased recordings during that time. 

Altogether, Elvis strung together 10 Top-40 hits during his months in the service.

“This mark, at all stages of his life, always present in his beautiful smile.”SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 2015

Today I came across a movie still from one of Elvis’ movies in which we can see that there was actually makeup on Elvis’ leg to hide the scar on his leg.  The scar on Elvis’ leg matches the scar on Jesse’s leg in his 1994 photo with his grandson, Benjamin.  Check this out:

Below is Jesse’s photo…see the scar on leg matching Elvis’:

I extend my thanks again to a dear friend, Lucilia, who first sent to me the above copy of Jesse’s photo with the scar circled in red along with a matching black and white photo of Elvis’ scar circled in red.   Also, my thanks to another friend, Noddy, who later pointed out the scar on Elvis’ leg in a video of his army physical which I show in my still frame capture from the video below:

Here is a close up and enlarged view of Jesse’s leg:

The above scan of Jesse’s photo showing the scar on his right leg was done many years ago.  Years later I scanned Jesse’s photo again with a new all-in-one scanner-printer and the scan was clearer.  That was when it showed that Jesse has scars on BOTH legs matching the same scars on Elvis’ legs.  I wanted to explain the reason that I have two articles:  One proving the scar on the right leg, and the later article proving the matching scars on BOTH legs.

My friend, Barbara R. shared the below photo of Elvis with me.  She and I agree that it is a good match for Jesse’s smile.  I thank Barbara so very much.

A wonderful friend to me and my web site, Lucilia, has located another photo of Elvis in which the scar is seen on his right leg which matches Jesse’s scar.  I thank Lucilia for being ever diligent.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

A very nice friend of mine on Facebook, Sabrina, saw the photos which I have posted documenting that the scar on Jesse’s leg is the same as the scar on Elvis’s leg in a number of photos.  She so kindly sent another photo which is an outstanding example of the scar.  I thank her so very much for her help.

A good friend, Sabrina, has shared another great comparison of a photo of Elvis with our photo of Jesse in 1994.  This is an exceptionally good match even though Elvis was not smiling, the angle of his gaze shows that all of the features match Jesse’s.  I thank Sabrina so very much for her time and thoughtfulness in compiling this proof for us all to enjoy. Sabrina writes:  

“Herewith you will find two pictures: one is original from 1968; the other one 26 years later (your picture). Putting them together I was left very shocked, in a positive way, as you know I have no doubt.

It is well remarkable how the features of his face are the same as well as his nose and the eyes despite the surgical operation and the age.  In 1968 picture, his cheekbones are not marked just because he was not laughing! 

Besides what I found, are the sideburns (same cut, shape and level) and the thick hair…. the same, only the colour changes! “

Non-reversed image of Elvis (shown below) compared to Jesse.  I was unaware that the photo of Elvis (above) had been reversed until someone notified me about it on our Messages for Jesse page.  However, as one can see, it does not change the fact that Jesse’s facial structure matches that of Elvis.

 Below is the photo from which Sabrina took her comparison to Jesse.

Isn’t it wonderful to see how much happier he looks in 1994.  So much of the stress and pressure was absent in 1994. 

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 2015   VERY IMPORTANT NEW PROOF

I have something new to share about which I am very excited.   First I want to explain how this new very important piece of evidence came to my attention.  My very good friend and hero, Mark, who is the administrator of the “nuts and bolts” and who keeps my site working and designed the new version of my site as well, mentioned to me that he had re-scanned something and was amazed at the new clarity because he used an up-to-date scanner.  So, Mark suggested that I re-scan the photo of Jesse and Benjamin.  I have not scanned from the original copy, which Jesse gave me in 1997, since shortly after I began my web site…and I have a third generation of scanners now…been through 3 since I first scanned the photo.  So, last night I got out my copy from Jesse and did get a brand new scan.  Mark was correct, the quality of the scan is so much clearer.  Big hug to Mark for suggesting the new scan.

The good news is this:  Thanks to my wonderful friends, Susan, Lucilia, and Noddy, we have proven earlier that Jesse has the very same scar on his right leg as Elvis did.  Well, when I enlarged the new scan last night, I saw clearly that Jesse also has the very same scar on his left leg as Elvis had.  In the Army physical photos of Elvis, it is seen very clearly that Elvis had matching scars on both of his legs.  In my 6-year-old scan, we can only make out the one on the right leg.  But, now with the new much clearer scan, we can clearly see that Jesse does have the scars on both legs exactly as Elvis did.

Wanda June Hill recalls Elvis telling her how he got those scars when he was a child.  She isn’t sure now exactly what he said but she thinks it may have been burn scars from standing too close to an old-fashioned wash pot.  These pots were usually cast iron, used outside in the yard,  and the fire was burned under the pot to heat water for washing.  I have never thought to ask Jesse about the scars…I just don’t ask prying questions of him.

If this final detail of proof does not convince even the skeptics, then I have to conclude that THEY DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE the truth which they can see with their own eyes.  I will display the new scan below along with two scans of Elvis from his Army physical.  I will display the original size of the new scan along with an enlarged view so everyone can see this clearly.

Below is the new scan…if you look closely, you can see the scars on both legs at matching locations on each leg.

 Below is the same scan enlarged…here you can see the scars more clearly:

 Here is a closeup of the scars on Jesse’s legs alongside a photo of Elvis’ scars during his Army physical:

I hope that the above proof will finally be enough to stop those who have published the photo of Rev. Dale Presley (holding his twin sons, Terry and Jerry, in the black and white 1950 photo) dead in their tracks.  I won’t mention any names!  I am sure most of my regular visitors know exactly to whom I am referring.

I have shown so many comparisons that it has long since become redundant…but, nonetheless, here is another very good comparison:

A nice friend on Facebook, Daniela S., shared the below new photo with me.  This, too, is a great example of another good match with Jesse’s photo.   My thanks to Daniela.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

I can’t recall if I have shared the following on my site before or not.  I came across it in my files recently and so I am sharing it here…maybe again?

I am so very sorry that I can’t recall who shared this with me a good while back.  But, as always, I am so grateful.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2015

My good friend, Richard C., shared the following photos with me which are very good comparisons to Jesse’s photo.  I thank Richard from the bottom of my heart for sharing these photos of Elvis with me.  I have been so far behind that I haven’t read his kind messages on Facebook until now.  I thank Richard for his patience.

The first three photos are those which Richard shared with me.

Shawn K. composed the below photographic comparisons of Jesse’s photo with those of Elvis.  One can never have too much photographic evidence of the truth.  I thank Shawn very much for creating this for us to enjoy.

Below is another comparison of Benjamin…no denying that little face…especially the chin.

Once more a pretty comparison for all to enjoy…

Please take note that the cheeks and the vertical lines running down to the chin are identical.  The crease at the corners of Elvis’ mouth were changed during the plastic surgery it appears.
