August 16: Elvis Presley Commemoration Day, National Airborne Day, Roller Coaster Day, International Tell a Joke Day

 
Elvis Presley Commemoration Day
 
Who can forget that fateful day in 1977 when we heard the news of Elvis Presley's death? Today marks the 35th anniversary of that sad day, as we remember and honor "The King." His popularity remains strong today -- his Facebook page has more than 6.5 million likes and in 1992, the U.S. Postal Service honored him with his own stamp.
Let's all celebrate together by reminiscing with some little known Elvis trivia. 

* Elvis was a black belt in karate.
* Elvis' entourage was known as the "Memphis Mafia."
* Although Elvis recorded more than 600 songs, he wrote none of them.
* Elvis was a direct descendent of Abraham Lincoln's great-great grandfather and a distant cousin to Jimmy Carter.
