I never pass up a chance to watch the movie made about his life. Fortunately it runs at least 3 or 4 times a year on the cable.

Great movie, ay. I have it on videotape. Gary Cooper was great! Not much resemblance to Sgt York, tho...

Yes Nan, we are proud of this Tennessean, his home is not too far from where I live.

This country has produced so many brave young men and women, and we owe them all a great debt for their service.
