Photos from Sargent York's life.

I particularly like photo #7.
 
I also enjoy the look over his life. The last photo is very touching.

I'm also amazed at how close to reality the movie was for his hometown.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yeah, that was cool - thanks. I have to say I have never seen the real Sgt York until now and always pictured him via the film. Kinda cool to see that a larger than life hero was a Regular Joe that mostly did Regular Joe stuff.

One of my favorite movies.
Thanks for the link.
