    I live in Ga. and had to make a trip to Ohio last year. I couldn't help it. Got into northern Tenn. and told the wife we had to take a little side trip. Went to Sgt. Yorks home. It's now a historic place. Got to meet his son Andrew Jackson York. Got to see the old church. Pretty cool trip if you ever get the chance.

    Great movie!
    As they showed in the movie, Sgt. York went to basic at Camp Gordon, Georgia.
    I grew up right near Camp Gordon.
    Our Little League ball park was right off of Clairmont Road.
    There was a pond right next to the ball field. What was weird was, there was a 12 inch wide concrete wall that ran right down the length of the pond, but this wall was 3 inches underwater. You could walk right across the middle of the pond, it looked like you were walking on water!
    My parents were Yankees and didn't know the local history.
    I asked the local kids, what the deal was with these concrete walls, they said, "It is part of Camp Gordon."
    All the Rebel kids knew about Camp Gordon. It had been a huge army training facility for WW1. Evidently it was about 5 miles long, on the outskirts of the north side of Atlanta.
    By the time I was playing around the ruins of Camp Gordon, in 1964, nothing was left of it except for these strange concrete walls. It had turned back into houses, woods, and a Jim Hearn driving range.
    The only military part of the fort that was left was the Naval Air Station on Clairmont Road. Today that is Peachtree Dekalb Airport.

    Some day I would like to get some good maps of Camp Gordon and learn where that rifle range was. That is one of my favorite scenes of all time, Sgt York at the rifle range.
