January 3, 2007 (XTVWorld.Com) -- Regarded by many as the greatest singer of popular music ever, Elvis as he was fondly known, continues to generate newspaper stories on a weekly basis.
Just recently it has been announced the US Army will present the Elvis estate with a Long-Lost Medal and special certificate as a birthday present. Representatives from the Army will gather on the lawns of Graceland, Elvis's beloved home, to oversee a formal colour guard ceremony on what
would have been Elvis's 72nd birthday, on the 8th January 2007.
Sergeant Elvis Presley along with many of his comrades served his country in Germany during the Cold War.
The international media is expected to cover this unusual tribute to the late singer, who almost single-handedly changed the course of popular music with his uniquely versatile voice winning the hearts of millions of music lovers, during his meteoric rise to world renown.
No doubt many of singer's fans will be there to
share the proud moment. In the imagination of the people, Elvis Presley goes marching on!
