Rest In Peace 🙏
I learned about this great man through the film, "Sargeant York" with Gary Cooper.

[malcolmandrews]

I haven’t been able to find any online information about York becoming a drunk and divorcing his wife.

York grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, not in the Rocky Mountains. The Appalachian's are along the eastern side of N. America, the Rockies run down the central USA between Montana and New Mexico.

[MrThebirddog]

You got his name correct, not much else

[fabianasensio]

Wow
You missed the part where he and the men left alive fooled 132 Germans to surrender, which they marched through the frontlines to American hq.

[GamerKatz_]

The guy did what he had to do, did not like being honored for it, and spent the rest of his life making sure kids in his area got a good education. Not much to 'unravel'.

[johnnyallen]

You stated his marriage ended in dissolution. That's incorrect,

[Rocky-xxzg]

For his accomplishments, he received land and cash. Yet, in spite of what he did, the IRS came after him for Taxes due.

[jamesjr]

You use the title of James Gregory’s book as clickbait but show that you did not do your research and continued the same myth.

[clintmatthews]

Sargeant York is no “myth”….thats a bit disrespectful to title this clip as such

[kevinhealey]

After the war to deal what he endured during the war, he drank and that continued his whole life. He was made a major in WW2. And his main job was to push war bonds.

[jamescarr]

The war was almost over before York went to France.

[karenreynolds]

Did not divorce, a bunch of misinformation.

[stefanomagaddino]

Awful commentary, "shootin', drinkin' ", etc show just how ignorant the vo commentator really is. Along with all the inaccurate facts he puts forward in this video. A VERY POOR JOB.

[lancehurley]

After he came home, he didn’t become a drunk and divorce Gracie….don’t listen to any of this trash

[fado]

He killed a lot f beautiful animals created by God.
