On this day in 1918, United States Corporal Alvin C. York reportedly kills over 20 German soldiers and captures an additional 132 at the head of a small detachment in the Argonne Forest near the Meuse River in France. The exploits later earned York the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Thank you for sharing sir. We can never learn or know enough of our military history and heritage. It's something that is lacking in today's military.
