This site works best with a laptop or desktop computer.
Due to the way iPhones, Samsung and numerous other phones and tablets process .pdf files, they either do not scroll or depending on user settings, may download the pdfs.
I rely heavily on .pdf files to ensure accuracy, therefore the responsive feature of this site is usually not compatible with mobile devices.
July 2014, I had the opportunity to visit the SGT Alvin C. York park. It is a beautiful, well maintained and serene area located in Pall Mall, Tennessee.
SGT York’s story is fascinating, from his Medal of Honor to the end of his life.
You can learn more by visiting the SGT York Patriotic Foundation.
