Photo: Veteran Elvis Presley (Courtesy of the U.S. Army) Did you know that the U.S.S. Arizona Band competed in a Battle of the Bands on December 6, 1941 – and the next day all of the musician-sailors died in the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Did you also know that Army Veteran Elvis Presley helped to raise a great deal of the money that built the Arizona Memorial? PBS is presenting a documentary on this story. Watch it if you can. Very informative.
