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.
