THIS STORY:
Alvin Cullum York, also known as Sergeant York, was one of the most decorated United States Army soldiers of World War I. He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathered 35 machine guns, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers and capturing 132 prisoners. York's Medal of Honor action occurred during the United States-led portion of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France, which was intended to breach the Hindenburg line and force the Germans to surrender. He earned decorations from several allied countries during WWI, including France, Italy and Montenegro.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
I believe Sgt York would have been very pleased to hear his heroic story told by you so descriptively and beautifully.
He not only came home safe, but he also came home a hero. What an honorable man. This story was very touching!
Alvin and Gracie have the most beautiful resting place that I have ever seen. Really lovely and cared for. ❤️
War stories make me cry, so many lost lives.
I am looking forward to learning more about this hero! Thank you Sergeant York for your service 👍
Visiting Sgt. York's grave is on my bucket list for sure.
Dear Sir, if there were a UA-cam award for presenting a UA-cam video in remembrance, I would nominate you. Rest in peace Sgt. York, your story moved my heart, Thank you for your service.
What a beautiful story I have seen the movie several times. You sir did great justice to Sgt Alvin York. Thankyou from Australia
My mom met him. Her dad built roads in Tennessee during the summers. Mom would accompany him. Sergeant York owned the hardware store in town. He was in there everyday. Very kindly and quiet. Would talk to my grandfather for hours, usually about fishing.
Rest In Peace SGT Alvin York” 🙏🌷
You Always going to be
Remembered a Good and
Honorable Man !👏👏👏
Thanks Sir ! Beautiful Put
Together ...🤗👏
Great job ❤️🙌
Beautifully done.👍💯💜👏👏👏🙏. Gratitude to Alvin I thank him for his service. He was. Not only a good man but a humble one. Good heart. War takes a lot of a bodies lot developed health problems down the line. Sad he went through health but I'm sure hes not at peace and any health issues he had on earth is over once he got to heaven. I know God love soldiers. Can't you hear God saying well done my good and faithful servant. Welcome home son. Imagine Alvin having having a huge grin on his face as he received his halo.🇺🇸🌠🙏😇👏👍👌✨. This is indeed a story, a life to be proud of. So humbled he didn't give in to fame or thought of money. Glad he accepted the house he deserved it. That make him a hero in my book

Very cool. I am sure you are proud
We could use more men like Sgt York now. Our country needs heroes now.
our country needs God now
@@dennism5565 I couldn't agree more.
It's coming, slowly you can see it building.
Yes I have seen the movie starring GARY COOPER. It is one of my favorite movies about a true war hero and I have seen it more than a 100 times throughout my life. I'm 67 now so you know that I have seen it more than once a year averaging
Thank you so much. I lived in the area for years and my wife is from here. She went to York high school. I became good friends with sgt. Yorks son Andrew Jackson york. We remained friends for many years. Thank you for doing this.
The gang is waiting to watch!!!😁
Yesssss !😀🤗😂
That was fascinating. I really enjoy all the history lessons you give. Thank you very much...peace
May SGT.York Rest In Peace 🌹✝️🇺🇸💐♥️ Great video tonight sir💐♥️
Ron, thank you for sharing this heroic story of Sgt Alvin York !!! I'm glad to see that he & his wife & family are honored even in death with an impressive grave site. For all those who served in the past , present & future, Thank you for your service !!!! As long as we remember those who have passed, their memory & stories will never been forgotten ... RIP Alvin York !!
The military love them farm boys that hunt a lot of them probably end up going to sniper training. That was a cool story 👍 Wow his gravesite looks amazing.
Very true
Thanks, Ron. Wonderfully presented and then adding sound effects and pictures! Sgt. York was one of the many who showed strength and courage during that horrible war. Great job bringing him to life!
I enjoyed the sound effects too! 👍
He is my family members and He was an amazing hero. The movies are pretty cool too 🇺🇸
Excellent content, I remember the movie. Gary Cooper was the only person that could have starred as him. Cooper had some of the same qualities, in real life as Sgt. York, both were humble men, and Cooper liked his privacy, when not working. Another good one Ron.
Thank you Sgt York for your service you got a one story of a good man the type others should be like honest and humble
They have a very beautiful place to lay, so peacfull and the chimes are singing around the graveyard. They have the mountains
front of them so they can see how beautiful it is. I`m sorry to say but that place is so cute, its not too big. So peaceful place.
Sgt. Alvin was a hero to all and he lived a long time and had a lovely family, a wife and 3 children
This is one of my favorite historical stories, my grandfather grew up in the same area as Sgt. York.
Fascinating story, what a true hero. RIP Sgt York. Respect. Thanks for sharing.
The small town of Pall Mall just outside Jamestown Tennessee. Has a great hero in Sgt. York .
@faces of the forgotten- I never looked into the name Pall Mall. Honestly, you just taught me something that I should have asked about. Thank you.
@@Hello-ye2bi it's a beautiful rural area best time to visit is spring or fall when the leaves start changing. I live in East Tennessee , the York homestead is a must visit for vistors.
man you are not kidding, it was worth the drive!!!
Very well done.
It was my dad's favorite movie...he would get me up to watch it when it was on tv!!! My dad was born in 1919!!!
Can't remember if i ever did see that movie. My dad also was born in 1919
@@hellen__1 I wish that you could watch the movie...I think that you would enjoy it!!! But maybe I enjoyed it so much because my dad loved it!!! My dad was born on Feb. 19, 1919
@@prettyfar33 i will see if i can find the movie somewhere. My dad was from June 11. 1919
@@hellen__1 Sounds good to me!!! My dad died in 1984.
@@prettyfar33 Yust did find the movie here on UA-cam. Will not watch it now. Because its late over here 2.40 at night. And the movie is more than 2hours
And a good man he was.....GODLY and humble. RIP Mr. York and thank you for your service 🤴🌈💗🕊️. Beautiful resting place.....I'd love to visit and pray from same place he did.....so close to the heavens 🙏. Not taking away from him but did notice couple of Hatfield's in there.....safe travels and thank you for the reminder of these heroic men and women 💗🕊️
Alvin York was a humble man. He literally took Jesus’ advice from the sermon on the mount. The good we do, do quietly without fanfare. God will reward us one day
Again Ron, great narration of an exceptional person. You are helping with my ankle rehabilitation. Since it will be a while until I can walk along the river and explore local cemeteries
Thanks again! 🙏🏾👍🏽🌻💐
@@karolinesmail489 thanks so much. I start physio therapy in April 🙏🏾👍🏽
This will definitely be a good one. 🇺🇸
An amazing story. He stayed focused at such a frightening time. Rest in peace Sir.
Your voice has such a calming effect when telling us about historical pasts. R.I.P. Srgt. Alvin York.
Hey how about you pick one or two people that have passed away and tell us something about them and what you admire most about their life.
R.I. P. Sgt. York. Thank you for your service.
Great to be reminded of a real hero! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very good story Ron, I seen the movie with Gary Cooper and it was truly amazing to watch. See you on the next one I catch
Oh this is a must watch for sure! 😊
awesome commentary!!!!
Thanks for doing a live stream 👍 Stay Well My Friend ☮️☮️
thanks, yeah, I'll do it sometimes, that is fun...love to see the interaction!! tomorrow night, one more that way...SCARY SCARY CEMETERY HERE.
Thank you for sharing about Sergeant York. I love your videos and information that you share especially about the military. My family was very much involved in the military. I had an uncle who was part of the OSS in World War II and after( there were only six of these men and the only person they answered to was the president of United States) unfortunately shot in a tank. He eventually died of his injuries when he was 29 years old leaving behind three little boys. I always give thanks to our military and I know some of them are in situations that other people complain is wrong shouldn't have done anything but they are doing their jobs. Again thank you and bless you for the gifts you give us.
Great story! May Sgt.York be an inspiration to the young men & women of today. 🇺🇸
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.🇺🇸 Mr. York THANK YOU for the amazing video.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍I do appreciate it.😊
That wind sure does like to follow you around Ron! LOL
lol...indeed!
Thanks for another AWESOME video, Ron!! Really enjoyed it!! Take care, and stay safe!!
Wow what a story!!!! It is great men like him that we need more of today. Thanks for sharing!!! Really enjoyed it.
Wish I had some of Sgt. York's qualities. I am not even a good shot...LOL
When it's over I'd love to be here..Thank you for all of your time, stories and videos...
Thank you so much! This is an amazing video!
First time I learned of Sgt Alvin York was seeing the movie, starring The Great Gary Cooper playing the WW1 hero!! Great Man, Greater Deeds!! Rest In Peace great ancient!!
Sgt. York and my grandfather, were first cousins. My grandmother knew him as well when they would go see his family in Tennessee.
Cool!
This was a Great video Ron .
I am so glad you did york i watch movies and his biography. I would love to see the girl that dress up like a boy said she want to be with her brother but picked the wrong side.
A truly amazing story. A great American hero. I watched the movie Sergeant York a couple times. Truly a good movie which people should watch. Take care
Thank you 4 this story needed this 4 our family's genealogy God bless
What a Beautiful Story. The most Awesome and Amazing story I have ever Heard.
Looking forward to this video 🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️
How much you wanna bet that Sgt. Alvin York's time spent hunting at the Yellow Doors cliffs prepped him all those years earlier for what destiny had in store for him. That hill those Germans were shooting from, 223, was just a walk in the park for him. He was probably all like, "Bitch, please!" He picked those men off as if he were back home hunting turkeys. lol
Thanks for sharing his story. As a Canadian I'm envious that you're able to call him one of your own.
cool, eh? love it. too bad we count meet him.
It was men much like Sgt Alvin York that also defeated the most powerful Army in the world at the time to win our freedom and independence from the crown of England. God Rest His Gallant soul.
I love your channel that goes without saying. I don't know which I like the most seeing all these wonderful places or the stories behind them you tell us.
Ahhh I'm just going to say it's a tie.
I hope you feel less lonely having us with you? 😉
it's an awesome Gang! 😊
Thomas Jefferson York, the son of Alvin and Gracie York was a law enforcement officer who was shot and killed in the line of duty while investigating a motor vehicle accident on May 7th 1972. The incident occurred on U.S. Highway 127 near Jamestown, Tennessee. Thomas York was US Air Force veteran and survived by his wife and four children. He is interred at the York Family plot in Wolf River Cemetery, Pall Mall, Fentress County, Tennessee.
I'm glad you did this video on SGT. York, such an interesting story. I've always liked hearing about the war stories. The history of those stories is so interesting. My dad was in the Army back in the late 60's, he drove their tanker trucks and he still tells me stories of his military experiences. I enjoy listening to him telling me those stories.🙂 SGT. York and his wife have a really nice grave site.
Beautiful drive.. I love that we can see this Thankyou. I’ve only been to Louisiana parts of N’Orleans and the cemetery where Marie Laveau is buried.
Your videos are very much appreciated. Wish I’d made it to Tennessee on my trip to US a few years back.
Thank you for honoring such a courageous and brave American hero, a humble man. I just wish the men of today understood what it means to serve rather than complain about what's wrong but to stand up.
He is resting in heaven today.
I WATCHED THIS MOVIE 🎥 WITH MY MOM (🙏 💔😪) and she loved Gary Cooper ,,what an incredible story of this War hero ,,,RIP 🙏 SGT ALVIN YORK THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🇺🇲🙏🕊
I love the movie about his life . Thanks for letting me see where he is lade to rest.
I love stories of the war i have reprint news paper of the www of 1 and 2 i also have movies and books of ww 1And 2 and i have Anna Franks book
Nice job Ron as always 👍🏻
Wow just watch the movie and it was great thank you for showing this one.
At 6:20, a tombstone with the name Hatfield. As in Hatfields and the McCoys? More Hatfields at 10:00
lots of them there!
I don't know if related....
Hi Ron, SGT York was such an amazing man and a legend in his own lifetime in my view. Thank you for sharing and creating this wonderful video to celebrate his life, much love. xx💖
My husband and my Grandpas family is from Tennessee mtns. Love it there. I love the movie about Sgt York.
I seen a Movie Gary Cooper played the role of Sergeant York ,, great movie
I love the movie they did honoring Alvin York though the movie fell short of the actual story
agree! as I remember, they also did not correctly replicate the way, when the Germans charged him that way.
Great story and video Ron we use to go to Pall Mall quiet abit back in the day as I lived 2 hours away. Hopefully you had a chance to visit his historic home and the stores that are there. There’s also an awesome Sgt. Alvin C. York park there as well.
I wonder if he stopped at the Forbus General store when he passed through? Maybe he got in a good game of Pig or a good deli sandwich. I grew up in Byrdstown and had family that lived in Forbus and Pall Mall.
Great history story telling video tonight
I hope Alvin C. York and my Daddy, Freddie Lee Davis, along with all other deceased veterans, are resting in peace. Daddy, I love you and I miss you and Mother so very much. Please take care of Rick and Brittany until I can join you in heaven. You will always be remembered.
It is right that men such as Alvin York should be remembered in this way. "The Internet is forever", they say. So, Mr. York, here is an enduring tribute to you! A couple of things I noticed: Mr. York and his wife are buried in reversed positions. The second thing is....look at all of the flowers! It is a sign that the surrounding area is VERY much alive with the friends and family of those laid to rest in that particular cemetery. And hanging baskets appear to be a favorite means of decorating graves in that area. Lastly, Airman Second Class York may well have died in Vietnam, or shortly after having returned home. 1938-1972 indicates he was 33 or 34.
Great story. Nobody tells a story like u.
I can hear The Music Of The Chimes.
Why do you block out some of the tombstones?
I think it’s of people who have not died, so that no one looks them up
EXACTLY! ty Laurel.
This was a remarkable man. Your presentation Is exceptional. Thanks for doing this.
I loved the movie 🎥 😍 Sgt York🥰
Definitely a true American hero. Thanks for sharing his story with us.
I really like this Reminder feature that you have. I've never seen it before.
Me too, like it a lot 👏😀🤗
A true Hero, Thank you for your service Sgt. York. May you rest easy with your brothers in arms. Thank you Ron for the excellent way you told this story.
Sgt. Alvin York fought in WWI even though he was a pacifist. He had an amazing record in the war but he lived to his70's. There is another WWI hero who lost his life doing pretty much the same thing. Sgt.York was born in Pikeville, Tennessee, just a stone's throw from where I live. Milo Emert is a local hero born in Marshalltown, Iowa and buried in Crossville City Cemetery. He lost his life at 28 years old performing almost the same heroic acts as Alvin York. I think this young man should be remembered for his sacrifice, but outside of Cumberland County Tennessee, he's been largely forgotten. I think people should be aware of such a brave, heroic young man!
Another great story, I enjoy it every time, thanks!!! 👍🏻👏🏻😙
I love the story of Sgt Alvin York! It doesn't get any better than this wonderful & sweet man who was the hero of World War I.....other than the Red Baron. Ron, your love for our American wars is evident with how excited you become telling us your story. Thank you so very much, Mr Ron!!!
Wow.. never heard of that story 🤔... its like the 65th Infantry Regiment named the "The Borniqueneers" during the Korean War, and so many others great stories of heroism that are almost forgotten..awesome job keeping this and others many stories alive....stay safe 👍
Thomas was the son that was the constable that was killed bringing the prisoner.
Thomas York was an Air Force veteran and a Fentress County Constable who was killed in the line of duty.
There is more on this at the ODMP website.
There was another son that served as an Army officer. Alvin York volunteered for service in World War 2 but was gently declined....
I didn't realize you had filmed a segment on Alvin York until today when it popped up in my news feed. I mentioned him on the Desmond Doss video. Thanks Ron for sharing his inspiring history. RIP 🇱🇷
I feel like we still have plenty of men! young men today that have the same resolve and dedication like York! It's the American way! Deff can't compare completely but they and WW2 vets are the greatest generation ever lived! We are forever grateful for their sacrifice 🙏
I grew up in the area and it is a peaceful place to be. My ggrandfather was a dr. and he delivered several of Alvins & Miss Gracie's children (for a quarter per baby I think). I remember going to Alvin's funeral when I was a little girl because it was hot that day and there were so many soldiers there for the ceremony.
Thank You for sharing these videos. They are very informative and well done!
Im sure theres many great people 0ut there still doing great works. but the news and society right now seems to be fighting the Civil War. Again. Thats why I focused on the good and 10 percent on politics. Rest on peace. We all play a part. Beautiful video. I hope you do some videos on the Great people in America. We all need Heros. You are One by doing this work ..keep it up.
Love this amazing channel so interesting nice to see 🇺🇸 greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 what a brave soldier God bless
His sons is buried beside Sgt York. His one son was a constable and was brining a prisoner in to Jamestown. He and the prisoner and Yorks son were found shot to death on the highway half way to Jamestown.
