I could understand if he were older and actually remembered Elvis....
I think, like you, I would be touched...but not do the sob thing. You know, my parents met him in the hallway of a Las Vegas hotel when I was in 6th grade. He held my mom's hand. He was in Germany in the Army just like my Dad was and they are both southern boys. He told my mom that he missed Germany but didn't have time to go back. They said he was VERY nice and he spoke the few words in German he remembered. My mom didn't wash her hand for a week.
