"Fifty years ago today, Elvis Presley decided to drop by the White House on a whim to meet Richard Nixon. The strangely funny encounter has become one of the most enduringly popular Oval Office moments in history: The bejeweled rock icon, in purple velvet pants and a matching cape blazer, shakes hands with the staid president for a photo-op that looks like it could’ve been fake. It’s the most requested photograph from the U.S. National Archives—an item more coveted than copies of the Constitution."

Nixon opened Expo 74 in Spokane and I could not make my wife understand I wanted to go see the president. Not a Republican, not a Democrat; the President. Funny how non military folks don't get respect for the position or the uniform, whatever the case may be.
