Alvin C. York Wearing Congressional Medal - March 4, 1961
Famed World War I hero, Sgt. Alvin C. York, (left) was "mighty grateful" when he learned that the Internal Revenue Bureau had agreed on March 18th, to settle his $25,000 tax debt. The Revenue Bureau's announcement followed a national drive started by House Speaker Sam Rayburn, who donated $1,000 himself, to raise the money for Sgt. York's income tax debt. In this March photo, York's coveted Congressional Medal of Honor is admired by his grandson Larry Jackson York, (right). Pall Mall, Tennessee
