York received his draft card in 1917, at the age of 29, but he wrote on the card that he didn’t want to fight, and sent it back to the government. *What does it mean to be drafted by the military? It means you have been chosen as someone who will serve the country in a time of war.

Forced to Fight York was forced to travel to Europe, where he was then stationed. He was an excellent marksman, but refused to fight. He eventually changed his mind, and choose to fight on behalf of our country. He and 17 other men misread a map and ended up behind enemy lines. This is when York became a war hero, but he also lost his best friend.

War Hero The German troop surrendered to York, and the remaining men. The surrendered troop contained 132 German soldiers. York was awarded the Congressional Metal of Honor. *The Congressional Metal of Honor is the highest award that can be given to military personnel.
