	*The Sergeant York Discovery Expedition* *Discover the details for the Commemoration Ceremony*

	The Sergeant York Discovery Expedition (SYDE) is commemorating the 90th anniversary of the actions which earned Alvin York the Medal of Honor. The day will also include the dedication and official opening of the SGT. York Historic Trail and Memorial.

In October 2006 SYDE discovered the location where Alvin York fought off a bayonet attack, led by Lt. Fritz Endriss of the 2nd Wurttembergische Landwehr division 120th regiment, and captured 132 German soldiers. Since that time SYDE has been working with French organizations and authorities to establish the SGT York Historic Trail and Memorial. Thanks to the cooperation of all involved and the support of our friends in this effort financially, we are very excited to announce the
dedication and official opening of the trail to be in conjunction with the Commemoration of the 90th anniversary of York's actions.
