Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Blue Moon]

On the corner of Highway 51 and East Washington Avenue in Madison, a plaque has been unveiled to remember a bizar and unusual event. On June 24 1977, Elvis - who just came back from a concert - ordered the driver os his limo to stop when he saw two teens beating up a young boy. Elvis went over, and wanted to confront the two teens: "I'll take you on right now". Stunned by who was standing next to him, the two teens immediately stopped their fight. Eventually, the three of them posed for a picture and Elvis drove off again, happy that he stopped this senseless fight.

Both the driver and an eyewitness have now told their story to ABC.

My thanks to you also dear Laurie for posting this wonderful story about Elvis and the link to the great video also. I think it's great that they put a plaque there to remember what happened. Bless his precious heart and soul-even when he probably wasn't feeling good himself, he still didn't let that stop him from helping out someone in need. Is it any wonder why we all love him so much??
