Interesting. I met Alvin's grandson, Gerald York, who was a Military Intelligence Colonel, when I was stationed in Korea. Actually had the opportunity to sit down with him and have a pretty good chat at some length.
When I got back stateside, History Channel was still airing, "Tales of the Gun," and had an episode on the firearms of WWI. Of course they had a segment on Alvin York, and interviewed COL York. I was like, "Hey, cool...I know that guy!"
