June 26, 2006 (XTVWorld.Com) -- This week George W Bush, President of the United States of America will accompany Junichiro Koizumi the Prime Minister of Japan to Elvis Presley''s beloved Graceland mansion, in Memphis.
Junichiro Koizumi is a well know admirer of the late singer Elvis Presley, and by all accounts, so is President Bush.
Surely after such an historic occasion, the Memphis airport officials should accept the fact that the name Elvis Presley to hundreds
of millions of people world-wide is synonymous with the City of Memphis.
Therefore an, Elvis Presley International Airport, Memphis, would be welcomed by music lovers all over the planet.
Elvis Presley as a soldier served his country well . His 1968 song, "If I can Dream", could well be an anthem for Memphis, not to mention the world!
