The Times and Elvis Presley Airport.2005.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 11, 2005 --
A few days ago, on the 8th July 2005, �The Times�, of London gave the, �Elvis Presley International Airport, Memphis�, a mention. A story also covered on many Memphis and Tennessee news web-pages.

Heartening, considering the upcoming 28th Anniversary of Elvis�s death next month, will be covered by the media around globe, once again.

Elvis Presley not only put himself on the world stage, he put Memphis firmly on the map!

The proposal for an Elvis Airport was first publicised by wily Scott Shepard in the �Memphis Business Journal� 2001, it raised a few eyebrows in the Memphis media back then.

A couple of years later Memphis WMC TV5 took up the story and even ran a poll in which the idea for an Elvis Presley International Airport received more than 75% of the vote.

Considering we already have a John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Louis Armstrong and John Lennon Airport, why do the airport authorities in Shelby County Memphis deny Elvis such an honour? Hundreds of millions around the world are looking on, quite mystified!

Recently on the, �100 Greatest Americans�, Poll on the Discovery Channel, Martin Luther King, and Elvis Presley were included in the top ten names chosen.

Therefore failing an Elvis Airport why not, �The King International Airport, Memphis�. The City owes both men recognition.
