My apologies, Eddie FADAL, not sure why I said Nadal.
That would be nice to see inside the house
Thank you for posting this video from an esoteric sense my father just passed he was living off base with Elvis in Germany and somehow or another the AI suggested your video never seen your channel but I will subscribe due to Your In the right spot at the right time . Peace love flower Power Tie dye and beads
Because your human, and we all do this kind of stuff, minor at best.
Its so cool still to hear how good of a soldier he was and how the guys in his company grew to defend him like a brother. My uncle retired from the Army at Ft. Hood and they ended up just staying in Killeen. I remember as a kid in the late 70's visiting there, and you could hear the helicopters, and also the loud repercussions of mortars and tank blasts when they were on maneuvers nearby.
Husband came back from Vietnam and finished up in Fort Hood before discharge from the Army. Lived in Copperas Cove.
@@wvob6752 oh, and they lived in Lampassas first and then Killeen.
😂
Happy birthday Elvis... I got your back, E
Ive been through Waco a couple times and never knew this stuff..Thanks Jordan!..My cousins live around L.A...if i ever get back that way (i live outside Chicago), id love to go on a vlog. Say hi to Jah!
All true fans do! We all got your back too Jordan. 102K bro, its growing fast now!
Sorry Jordan, i was editing the comment for one last thought at the exact time you hit the like button. Lol. Im notorious for it.
Right on. Happy Birthday Elvis. He would have been 85! Thanks Jordan for another great video.

Happy birthday Elvis. Enjoyed watching this video on Elvis's time in the military. Forgot that his mom had died go soon after he started serving. It's nice to know that what you hear about Elvis being just a guy was so true. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.
Happy birthday to the King of Rock and Roll. My oldest son is in Kilo Troop 3d ACR and is currently stationed at Fort Hood. My wife was in the Third Armored Division in Desert Storm! Elvis was called up and did his time.
perfect timing his birthday is today, he would have been 85.
Yes good😂
Your name is outrageously funny I subscribed to your channel could I like your name if you don't wish for me to subscribe tell me to unsubscribe and I shall just thought it was to damfunny
Although Elvis never came to England, he was the biggest and most respected rock star of all time here! I love to hear these stories, stay well Jordan.
Robert Neild ...i read the reason was because the colonel had a warrant for his arrest in europe and never had elvis tour out there
Awesome Jordan! Thanks man, i needed an Elvis fix!
I JOINED THE ARMY IN 1957 AND AFTER BASIC TRAINING AND SCHOOLING AT THE INDIANA FINANCE SCHOOL, I WAS SENT TO WORK AT FORT HOOD, TEXAS AT THE SAME TIME ELVIS WAS THERE FOR BASIC TRAINING...I REMEMBER HE WAS ALLOWED TO HAVE HIS CADILLAC PARKED OUTSIDE HIS BARRACKS BUILDING...HE CAME INTO THE FINANCE OFFICE ONCE BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A MISTAKE IN HIS MONTHLY PAY...IMAGINE WORRYING ABOUT $75.00 A MONTH WHEN HE WAS MAKING MILLIONS...BUT HE WAS A POLITE AND SHY TYPE PERSON...
Happy birthday Elvis...!! We will always celebrate your life . Thank you Jordan for sharing this awesome video !! I hope you get to stay in the Elvis house someday in the near future .
If you want to see the home movies that Eddie took of Elvis during his visits, go to youtube, they are "The Lost Elvis Home Movies. It is narrated by Eddie's children and shows the room Eddie built for Elvis. It's 34 min. Long. I saw this several years ago and then when Jordan did the video I watched it again.
I love Elvis and really appreciate this vlog along with Willie Nelson's hometown visit yesterday. Thanks, Jordan! 😊
Here is another fact about Ft.Hood and Elvis. Ft.Hood is named after Gen. John Bell Hood..which is a distant relative of Elvis'..as well as mine.
Happy Birthday Elvis!
PS..I LOVE your vlogs,Jordan!!
I love how you bring the humanity to even the hugest of stars - you really brought young Elvis to life for me. What a sweet friendship he had with that family in Waco - I looked at their B&B online, and it's really lovely inside. I've been past Waco many times in driving to Austin from Dallas, or going to see family in San Antone; who knew all that interesting Elvis history was there?! Thanks for another wonderful vlog.
Another story that I've heard about Elvis in relation to Texas is that he stayed at the same hotel in Downtown Fort Worth that JFK stayed at the day before he was killed. They didn't stay at the hotel at the same time but I thought it was really cool especially since I'm from Fort Worth. I think Elvis stayed there because he performed a show or some shows at some venue in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
It's really awesome to see where he was and where history with him was made.
Thanks Rhett
dude you still dont fuck8n getvit. Blessed are the children. Elvis was a victum of child abuse. Leb3nsborn a nazi.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY, ELVIS! Jordan, did you notice the star on the front of the house? How appropriate. I've also shared this video on Facebook and my Graceland Insiders forum. I hope it brings in a few more subscribers...love this video. Thanks so much.
Awesome! The two years covered here are not as well known as other years in Elvis’ life. Jordan has served us well! Happy Birthday to the King of music I love to hear.
The Clash , at the time known as " The Only Band That Matters " payed homage to Elvis on their iconic " London Calling " LP by emulating the cover of Elvis's classic debut.
What incredible detail in the statue. Beautiful.
Very cool VLOG like always Jordan thank you. A very happy 85th birthday Elvis... Jan 8, 2020 RIP
Dude was very patriotic, happy birthday king
I always love anything about Elvis, My Dad always looked like him,
and sometimes sang like him at party's
We lost my Dad three years ago. Thanks for the memories..
I enjoyed every second of this fantastic vlog! I look forward to you going back and staying there. Happy birthday to Elvis!
My brother hung out with Elvis and taught him some music. Yes my brother is MUCH older than me. Don't ask lol.
Elvis was a true American in his heart Thanks for posting this video Jordan You Rock!!!
❤️ that you not only show your viewers wonderful destinations you always share great facts.
I was stationed there a decade ago and NEVER knew about this!
Happy Birthday Elvis! 85 yrs old today!
Please consider doing a vlog on Nick Adams, who was a close friend of Elvis. Nick was an Oscar nominated actor, best known for the TV series "The Rebel", but was also known or being exceptionally tight with James Dean and Elvis. There is a fascinating book called "The Rebel and The King" chronicling time Nick spent with Elvis in Memphis and at his Tupelo concert. The story is, Elvis was obsessed with "Rebel Without A Cause," and James Dean. Nick, who had a small role in "Rebel Without A Cause", was very close with James. After Dean's death, Elvis sought out people who knew Dean in Hollywood, which is how he met Nick. Sadly, Nick's career began to slip and he passed prematurely. His death at his rented home in Laurel Canyon is shrouded in mystery. Very interesting story.
Happy 85th Birthday Elvis! You are always with us!
What memories....so wonderful you keep his memory alive in taking us to the places he lived, frequented. Thank you for your sincere dedication. Much love to you and Jah. So sorry Breck is sick. Safe travels.❤❤❤🦁
My dad retired from the Army just after I was born and didn't say much about it.
I do know that he retired as 101st Green Beret and did 2 tours in Vietnam but he was a very humble man.
But he did tell us that he was one of Elvis's instructors in handgun/weaponry while he was stationed in Ft. Hood.
He was never a big Elvis fan and didn't watch his movies or listen to his music but he was impressed with his attitude and said he liked him as a person.
He said that Elvis fans would line the gates onto the base and such and that he actually would get a little irritated with it while they were working but was always polite to them (the fans) when off duty.
Sadly my dad has past away and I find questions I wish I had asked while he was still here.
Thank you for this vlog, I always enjoyed hearing about Elvis ‘s life
This was a fantastic video, thank you so much for making it for us to enjoy. Love the channel, and I am looking forward to seeing more of your great videos
1958 l was 8 years old and Elvis was my first crush. Loved the young Elvis before Parker got his hooks in him.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Jordan and Jah for all of your fantastic videos!! Love them!! Elvis was an unbelievably generous and nice person... hard to believe for someone so famous!
Happy birthday Elvis. Hello Jahster cutie. Great video as always!!
Hey man! I hope you don't mind me giving my 2 cents here but after watching your whole live stream yesterday i REALLY think a relaxing weekend with jah and your new friend over in Bisbee is top priority. it's good stuff, trust an old guy! hehe
Loved hearing about elvis army and how he was with his family.. ...Mum really enjoys your Elvis she is a big fan from the 50s... Great informative Vlog
Great video Jordan. I always learn so much from your content! Thanks again 👍
Hi Jordan, get better soon Breck. What a beautiful photo of Elvis at Christmas, that must be one of my favourites. Great to see the house where Elvis stayed by the base and the Eddie Fadal house with the lovely Elvis front. Hey, nice to see you're new little friend aswell, another little cutie. Great that the Elite cafe has virtually stayed the same, looks a nice place. Great vlog Jordan.
🦁 Jordan, You did another, Great Job!!!! It’s Elvis Birthday 🎂
$1,500 for renting a house back than was ALOT of money! Elvis brought a lot of happiness to many people and he didn’t back out from serving Our Country!!!! 👏🏼💕👏🏼
Excellent vlog Jordan! Looking forward to the next one.
Been watching your videos about Elvis and others. Great videos man! Props to you!
Thanks for sharing.
Another great Vlog! Thanks!
Jordan, I love how much effort you put in your research. I have learned so much from you. The style of your documentation in which you explain historical facts and information. You are a very insightful person. I will continue to follow you.
Great stuff! Thanks Jordan!
Fantastic vlog yet again mate. Thank you 👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks for this....I have been an Elvis fan all of my life!
$1500/month , to rent a house , sounds like quite a bit for the late 1950's.
It was the nicest neighborhood in town
😇🎉My sentiments exactly.
@GunsAndPoker That figure comes from a book called "Like Any Other Soldier" by Jerry Osborne. I haven't read anyone actually verify that figure. Since the story about who they actually rented it from was not correct, this may also be the case about the rent. Home sold for just $170k during the height of the market in 2006. This may not mean much.
@GunsAndPoker My thought also. I have a feeling whoever wrote that information (as posted in the folllowing comment) added one too many zeros. There is no way a service man in the 1950's could have afforded 1,500.00 in rent. Typical pay for a US soldier in 1955 was 200.00 per month.
@@johnfd0210 200 is much more like it
Ok,watching this video again I could tell u I went last year July 28,2020 visit this house and stay in,was our 32 wedding anniversary and was the best present from my husband,I recorded had pics and met Janice Fadal,she’s so cute and sweet.can’t wait to visit again.love it! Love Elvis ❤️TCB forever.
Super enjoyable video. Well done !!
I love all of your Elvis vlogs. I just got back from Memphis celebrating his 85th birthday and Eddie's daughter Janice was there. I'm sure they would talk with you and give you a tour. They are super nice and it would be great advertising for them. They love to share their memories of Elvis.
Thank you Jordan. A great video!
Thanks for the tour
This was fascinating!! I didn't know all of this about Elvis!! I am not far away from here. Happy Birthday Elvis!! And Thank you Jordan!!
Excellent Job Jordan! From 1 Elvis Fan to another I say Thank you, Thank you very much!
Very welcome
I was just stationed there 2 years ago I got out the service in 2019 and I never knew this
Another great vlog Jordan love watching your channel. Hope you and Jah are having a great time in Texas.
Thank you Jordan, Happy birthday Elvis.
Wow , I thought I new every thing Elvis. TY so much Jordan
Born & raised in Temple. Sure hope they improved housing for other's in military in Killeen/Ft. Hood. Late 90's/early 2000's the housing for families was disgusting.
That place was a total ghetto in the early 90's when I was stationed there. Alot of people referred to Hood as the place where careers went to die. They were supposedly putting in new barracks buildings, but the majority of us lived in open bay sweat box's. I never got to see the Elvis spots, but I did see Luby's after it got shot up.
Interesting vlog! Thanks Jordan.
Thank you Jordan for reminding us about this chapter in Elvis‘s life! Many people could learn a lesson about patriotism and how to be an outstanding contributor to the world from Elvis‘s example.
Yeah, but the world has changed
Thank you for this interesting information.
My husband was stationed at Ft. Hood when he was in the Army years ago. We went by and seen the home of Elvis. :)
Another great vlog thanks
Hi and greetings from the U.K. Recently found you on TH-cam and really enjoy watching your postings. I’m in L.A. in a few weeks and will be visiting many of the places I’ve seen on your travels. Keep up the brilliant work.
WOOOOOW THANKS JORDAN REALLY ENJOYED IT. I LIVE IN FORT WORTH, HE WAS HERE WHEN I WAS A BABY. THAT IS SO FASCINATING TO ME. I HAVE BEEN A ELVIS FAN SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
JORDAN YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
Great vlog love to hear all about Elvis ♥️
Just to think, I live four hours from Waco & I didn't know about the house, the Elite Cafe & such. What kind of Elvis fan am I? It just means I'll have to make a reservation on Airbnb. Thanks for the info!
Thanks Jordan. Great vlog.
My dad was in the same Armored Division and was in an armored infantry heavy weapons company. He was in charge of a mortar platoon and was stationed in Bad Nauheimm, Germany. Even though Elvis was in a tank unit and my dad was in an armored infantry unit in the same division they would see each other on base and knew each other on a first name basis (They weren't good friends, but they knew each other). My dad told me that when Elvis got to Germany, his company was ordered to form a perimeter around the train station when Elvis first arrived because the German girls were trying to "swarm him", which is why my dad's army had to cordon off the train station.
In deed, Elvis was a normal GI. My dad told me that he was as nice as one can be, and that he never requested special treatment. The only time he tried to "do something special" was when they were ordered to cut some tall grass with "yo-yos" (basically a blade on the end of a stick, but not a sickle). Elvis went to the PX and bought one of those mid 20th century lawn mowers. The NCO in charge of the detail told Elvis, "No, Private Presley, you're not going to be able to use a lawn mower. You're going to cut the grass by hand like every other soldier". My dad said that Elvis said, "Yes, sergeant, no problem. If you like I'll donate this to the U.S. Army, you can have it, or I'll return it after this detail is finished". Elvis then picked up a "yo-yo" and cut the grass by hand just like everyone else.
Additionally, due to his record contract he couldn't play in the Enlisted or NCO clubs. So, he would invite guys from the tank and armored infantry units to his barrack and play the guitar and sing for the guys. Other than that, my dad said Elvis was truly "one of the guys" just like everyone else, as you said. So, I can confirm your story via a first hand, contemporary live witness testimony.
The only thing that required "special treatment" was anytime he went to a place like the train station (where the public would see him and he wasn't going "incognito" to a personal residence like he did when he began dating Priscilla) which is when they dispatched a Company to cordon off the area to prevent the public from harassing Elvis for autographs, pictures, etc., which obviously wasn't Elvis's fault.
Elvis was to me was a kind and humble man.Enjoyed this vlog, thank you very much Jordan
Happy Birthday, Elvis!!! Thank you, Jordan
Fun vlog again! Nice little slice of Elvis history not always seen, during this military hiatus.
Great info!
Elvis Presley was the best singer I think in the world. He also sung gospel music like no other.. matter of fact a friend of mine passed away a few days ago and I told her daughter that she wanted Elvis singing peace in the valley at her funeral and they played it for the service.. I remember watching his funeral on television and all the white Cadillacs in the funeral prosession.. good Vlog Jordan my friend.....
Thanks Jordan. Always nice to break away from the realities of this world.
I was in that house alot worked for eddie fadal help him moved from there to a house out by lake waco eddie had 2 children will not list there names but i cut the grass there many years when i was in school seen alot of photos recording eddie did a news paper about elvis i still have copys of them
Thank you, Jordan for doing this vlog . Had no idea ELVIS spent special time in Waco. Enjoyed seeing the house he stayed in and places he liked to eat. He was such a special person. My sister lives in Waco. Never knew all those great places were there. Never got to see anything of Waco outside of her neighborhood. I have a special place in my heart for Waco because of my sister. She and her husband and kids all went to Baylor. I like the ELVIS house.
Great content, I love the channel. I've been binge watching all your old stuff. Completely off topic, If you make it to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, the lynryd skynyrd crash site is only a couple hours away. They recently put up some memorial stuff.
Great vlog! I really enjoyed hearing about his time in Texas.
I look forward. To your videos especially about Elvis . Thankyou .
