Sgt. York

This is not correct. Sergeant Alvin York is most recognized, because of the movie "Sergeant York", starring Gary Cooper. In truth, Colonel William J. Donovan of Buffalo NY received every medal the US awarded up to that time (York did not), Donovan received: Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal and Purple Heart; as well as numerous foreign awards.
