News Story on the Funeral of Elvis Presley
“Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave ’em all over everything you do.” –Elvis Presley
40 Years ago today, Elvis Aaron Presley, the King of Rock & Roll, was found dead in his Memphis home dubbed “Graceland”. Elvis, alongside his Mother Gladys, his father Vernon, and Grandmother Minnie Mae Hood aka Dodger still rest in Graceland to this day. Thousands of mourners gathered in Memphis in the days to come to pay their final respects to the man that defined a generation and changed the world as it was known.
In honor of the legend, YHC crafted a special Elvis themed beat down. Disclaimer….
