Sergeant York

	Alvin York - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		York was born in poverty in Pall Mall, Tennessee.
		At the time of his heroics, he was in fact only a corporal; his promotion to sergeant was part of the honor that he received for his valor but resulted in his becoming known to the nation (and much of the world) as "Sgt. York".
		The state of Tennessee provided him with a large (by the standards of the area, at least) white frame home near the mill on U.S. Highway 127, which still stands.
