When I was a young kid, I saw the movie Sgt. York I'm 79 years old today. Sgt. York became my hero when I was young, and I watched the movie at least three or four times. I grew up and went to war in Vietnam in 1968. I was wounded after nine months and sent home. Years later my old company from Vietnam were having yearly reunions at different parts of the country. We had one reunion in Nashville, Tn. and when my wife and I left the reunion heading for home by car we drove up to Pall Mall, Tn and took it all in. Went to his grave site and I saluted my lifelong hero and knew I was a true brother in arms to the great Sgt. York.
Andy York passed away yesterday morning he was 92 years young a great man he was the park ranger in pall mall for 43 years he will be missed very much now you can go rest high on the mountain Andy York thank you for always being a good friend
I loved the biography of Alvin York , one of the most brave man from great state of Tennessee. I watched his movie several times and loved his accent and his ability to shoot.- uncle David- Houston
Thank you for your excellent video showing Alvin York's home as well as telling about him and his family too. Mr. York was and is a true American Hero and his service to our country should never be forgotten.
Loved this video!!! Alvin York was a true American patriot n every sense. I must say though u went too fast thru this....us history lovers need time to absorb this great part of history.
They should have never put that trench in there alvin would not want that there as for the house they took everything out of it they took the carpet up the sink all of the modern day things they ruined it and it broke Andy york's heart to do what they have done.
The money grabbing low life's did Elvis's home (Graceland) the same way... And his daughter did a number on Michael Jackson by marrying him, publicity only on her greedy mind...Sell outs for the dollar bill...
I feel they are trying to best represent his story and to best attract visitors to keep the site relevant. They have a master plan for the restoration and it is multi phased as funding becomes available. It’s a mug work in progress.
The desires of greed perhaps, but none the less the damage is done. And your correct Alvin's heart is saddened. The trench you speak of was never meant to be and the trench will be filled in. You have my word on it. The powers that be have been released what must be will be...
3:22 The only problem they have is the bottom of the trench wasn't so nice and pretty, you want a real WWI trench, pull out all the wood and just have it wet and muddy, and when it gets flooded go out and get some logs and put those down.
