One of the very few public 'speeches' Elvis ever gave, but one of the proudest moments of his career - the "Jaycees" speech from January 16, 1971; he was elected as "one of the outstanding you men of 1970".
Elvis rarely gave any speeches, much less attended award ceremonies so the fact that he accepted the Jaycees award in person, gave a little speech, attended many events surrounding it (the luncheon, press conferences) and even arranged a dinner for all the 'winners' at Graceland - it all says how proud he was of the fact he was chosen as one of the ten.
