put his name back
The show was opened by the Phil Ingall Orchestra, followed by an Hawaiian comedian; Sterling Mossman. Then there were performances of Boots Randolph (sax) , Floyd Cramer (piano) and The Jordanaires (vocal) before country comedian, Minnie Pearl hit the stage. Finally after the break, Rear admiral Robert L. Campbell introduced Elvis on stage. Elvis wore his gold lame jacket and black dress pants. This would be the last time Elvis would ever wear the gold lame jacket. The concert itself would become the last performance on stage till Elvis return on stage, almost 8 years later in Las Vegas in 1969. The show raised nearly $65,000 for the USS Arizona Memorial building fund. This show created one of the biggest private donations to the memorial.
Yes Elvis may have had an issue that led to his death of perscription drugs He loved Hawaii he served his country proudly and above all else he was human. He also believed in God and was the most generous person it was ok to take his money to preserve the memorial how disrespectful to remove his name
from the plaque for the U.S.S Arizona Memorial.
He was a pivotal source to having this memorial for all of us to see.
Please reinstate his name where it should so rightly be!!!
