Respond to this video... Sgt. Alvin C. York is my great, great, great uncle, and that's how I got into researching him, and I'm proud of him. =) "May God bless his soul."
Quelqu'un sait ou il y a les images du sergent Alvin c York décoré par Georges Clemenceau et le Marechal Foch ? Ensuite, il pose pour la posterité entre les 2 hommes. Des images historiques qui montrent le caractere legendaire de ce heros
Alvin York would not have allowed the film to be made unless Gary Cooper portrayed him. At least Copper was tall and lanky like him; he got the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance. Alvin York also insisted on a young and "upright" girl to portray his wife, Gracie Williams. Joan Leslie was only 16, the same age as the latter when Alvin became smitten with her, when she toke the role.
sorry, hemming57 - I took you at face value. Some folks have a problem if the person isn't a dead ringer for the person they're portraying. Still, Gary Cooper could have grown a little mustache.
I'm from SGT York's hometown and work at the National Guard Armory named in is honor. I know his two sons very well. If you're ever in the Jamestown, TN area, stop in and let's talk.
Interesting piece on an American hero. (There was a show back in the 80's that actually spliced bits of the old Gary Cooper film with Bowie's "Heroes" playing in the background. Trust me, it was very cool.)
Proud of my relative, I hope to follow in his footsteps

I think every American family should watch the movie with their children. It's one of the TRUE American classics.
BTW, Asby69, I'm about 3 hours from you. We visit the area quite frequently. Drop me a line sometime.

Is Andy York alive and still a State Park Ranger at Alvin York's home and grist mill? I met and talked with him back in 1985. Very nice guy!
