When Amazon Studios released the full-length movie ''Elvis & Nixon'' (starring Michael Shannon & Kevin Spacey) on April 22nd, 2016, with a superb cast, interesting script and fascinating subject matter it renewed interest in the historic White House Oval Office meeting... big time!

For insight into Elvis - who was a soldier & patriotic American - consider his words less than a month after receiving an official Bureau of Narcotics and Drugs (BNDD) badge from Pres. Nixon. At the U.S. Jaycees awards ceremony on January 16th, 1971 a number of inspirational words were spoken.

"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. And so every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. And these gentlemen over here, you see, these are the type people who care and are dedicated. Do you realize that it''s just possible that they might be building the kingdom of Heaven. It''s not too far-fetched from reality. I would like to say that I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end. Without a song, a man ain''t got a friend. Without a song, the road would never bend. Without a song. And so I will keep singing a song."- Elvis Aaron Presley

The damaging stereotype of "The King of Rock ''n'' Roll''s" physical condition on December 21st 1970 whilst meeting with "The Leader of the Free World" spawned by Albert H. Goldman in his biography, ''ELVIS'', is alive and well. Until the publication of this soft cover, Mr. Goldman''s opinion ruled the day. But no longer.

''Nixon and Elvis'' is broken down into six major areas of interest (chapters).1. A Heads-up To Academia, Literary & Media Elites: ELVIS Was Highly Intelligent And A Soldier Of Distinction

2. The Man In Black, The Memphis Flash & Hollywood Hokum

3. The Leader Of The Free World Meets The King Of Rock ''n'' Roll

4. Biographers And Fans Mirror Mainstream Derision (Use Of "Grotesque," "Junkie," Etc.) Of Elvis

5. Plumbing Scummier/Lower Depths Than Even Goldman Or Guralnick Dared Go: From Junkie To Nazi Imagery

6. President Richard M. Nixon and Egil "Bud" Krogh Refuse To Sell Elvis Out To Literary, Academic and Media Elites

"Elvis Presley was a young soldier of character, a draftee with professionalism, a selfless team player, a man of self-reflection tempered by wit. What I care about, and others from the 32nd Tank Battalion-especially now-retired Col. Ed Hart and retired 1st Sgt. Ira Jones-care a great deal about is how he did his assigned job. He pulled his weight. He used his head and did his job well. He was one of us. He cared about us."- Col. William J. Taylor, Jr. U.S. Army

"Our honored guest tonight is a fine American. He has had many starring roles. In one of these roles-his role as a soldier in the U.S. Army-his performance was outstanding. It''s a great pleasure to welcome him here. And to present to you, Elvis Presley."- Rear Admiral Robert L. Campbell

"Elvis, first of all, here is an Honors Certificate signed by Admiral Nimitz, expressing appreciation to you for what you are doing tonight. And then, there is a 2nd certificate from the Pacific War Memorial Commission. Lastly, Elvis, we have a plaque. The folks here will recognize this as the outline of the Coat of Arms of Hawaii. So, we present these to you, sir, and with these go our sincere, sincere appreciation."- U.S. Naval Official, Pearl Harbor

"When our country called, Elvis Presley answered and loyally served. When others called upon him to help, he was there to assist in their greatest hours of need. His worthy example of honorable military service and as a proven friend to his fellow men may well be considered as two of his greatest memorials."- Mr. Henry Bucklew, Commander Mississippi VFW
