I asked my grandfather years ago, who was a WW1 combat veteran, what he and his outfit thought of Sgt. York. He said, “the Huns were so tired of fighting, you could point a banana at them and company would surrender. They’d jump out of the bushes, from anywhere, in a big hurry to surrender. It would scare the piss out of ya.”

Alvin York has always been a personal hero to me. I read his combined biography/diary as a young child and still read it every year or so to this day.
The combination of bravery, duty, honor, Christian compassion even in the midst of combat, and above all humility evinced by this quiet, simple man should be held up as a model for every American to emulate.
