    I have a lot of respect for Alvin York, who fought for his Country even though he was not in favor of killing. In war he saw his fellow soldiers getting killed and he knew he had to react to save his buddies and himself. He and Audie Murphy are true American War Heroes. That’s why we honor our American Flag. Thank all our Veterans, past and present🇺🇸

      I guess he just had to come to terms with the fame he did not want when he came home. He used that to benefit others. To think that even the Germans sent delagets to his funeral says alot. I pray for peace in this world, but I pray for me and women with the faith if Mr. York to continue to help people here.

    My Paternal grandmother was Ellen Williams, of Pall Mall, TN.,1st cousin to Gracie Williams. My father and his older brother, while young boys, would travel from Pennsylvania to Pall Mall, TN to visit with Alvin and Gracie. I have heard stories of Alvin all my life from family members that knew him and Gracie personally. To hear and see memorials of 2024 for Alvin makes me proud to know his memory is being preserved. Rest well Sgt. York, thank you for your service. Respectfully, Ellie's grandson Ronnie

    Thank you for featuring Alvin York place. I have been here many times , enjoy the park also. The last time, which has been several years ago, his son Andrew showed me and my mom around. He was super nice and shared some stories of his life growing up, made it really enjoyable and entertaining. Sadly Andrew passed away this year in September.

    Thank you for this video. I enjoyed the movie that Gary Cooper acted in. It was bad that the IRS took his land and home away, but he fought back. My grandpa was in WW1and got hurt on the battlefield, A German field nurse saved him and he married her so he could bring her back home. My father as born in march of 1919. He fought in WW2. Vietnam was over before I turned 18. It's good to see that there are people that love's History. Again, Thank you!

    Thank you so much for filming this! It was fascinating. When the tour guide said he had been doing tours for only two weeks if I had been sitting I would have fallen off my chair. He has a real gift for it. I wonder if the Yorks had trouble adjusting to such a public life after growing up in such an isolated area. Also interesting is how real life differed from the end of the movie!

    In the draft of 1917, a man from Tennessee
    Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free
    Into war he brought two things along, a rifle and his faith
    Joined the ranks as a private, assigned to 338th
    There on that day
    Alvin York entered the fray
    Saving the day
    82nd all the way
    Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
    Entered the war from over the sea
    Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee
    Hill 223
    When his faith has been put to the test, the call to arms he heeds
    On the eighth of October he went, made a sergeant for his deeds
    Fearless, leading the raid of the war, machine gun on the hill
    Charge the enemy taking the prisoners by power of his will
    There on that day
    Sergeant York entered the fray
    Saving the day
    82nd all the way
    Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
    Entered the war from over the sea
    Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee
    Hill 223
    What Sergeant York achieved that day
    Would echo to the U.S.A
    It's 82nd all the way
    Death from above, what they now say
    What Sergeant York achieved that day
    Echoes from France to the U.S.A
    It's 82nd all the way
    Death from above, what they now say
    Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
    Entered the war from over the sea
    Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee
    Hill 223
    Hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
    Entered the war from over the sea
    Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee

    It has been recently revealed that the commandment "Thou Shalt not Kill" was meant as Though Shalt not Murder. God order killing in the OT, but if one killed (murdered) with malice in their hart for personal reasons, that was a major sin. In war God allowed killing the enemy of Israel and even suicide in Masada.
