Galaxy S4 missing Wifi Icon in Notification Panel

I can not for the life of me find out why the WiFi icon is not showing in the notification panel. According to the Samsung tech it should be the first one I see in the notification bar. Does anyone else have this issue? The wifi is on and working I just can get to the short cut icon to turn it on and off. I can see all the other icons from Gps to Air View but no WiFi

both VZW AND Samsung support told me this is not available on the VZW model...how is that even possible? Something that useful and standard is taken off of the VZW model. Can someone confirm this for me?

I have seen that one before. I actually am annoyed with it. Seems it's always looking for wifi even thought I tell it not too.

I don't know why they did that. All the Other S4s have an icon like the ones in the screenshot. My dad's S4 has it as the first icon.

If you do a single finger drag of the notification bar, Wi-Fi shows as ongoing.  Tap the notification to turn Wi-Fi on.

Good tip, thanks. I agree with the OP that this omission is a significant annoyance.

FWIW a screen shortcut to WiFi can also be created by going into Apps > Widgets > 1x1 Settings widget and selecting WiFi.
