Alvin Cullum York (1887-1964) was drafted into the U.S. Army during World War I and is considered one of the U.S. Army's most decorated soldiers; he received a Medal of Honor during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France as well as numerous decorations from several allied countries including France, Italy, and Montenegro. In 1941, a movie about his war exploits was produced entitled "Sergeant York" and became the year's highest-grossing film.
