He earned the Medal of Honor and a ticker tapeparade but refused to cash in on his fame, insisting "Uncle Sam's uniform ain'tfor sale."

York's remarkablelife includes details from exclusive interviews with the sergeant's threesurviving children and information drawn from battlefield eyewitness reports andoriginal film studio archives: fresh reminders of the legacy of one of America'sgreat Christian patriots.
