Search For Medal of Honor Action Site
In October 2006, US Army Colonel Douglas Mastriano, head of the Sergeant York Discovery Expedition (SYDE), found slugs from a .45 caliber weapon which he concluded was proof of the location of York's exploits. Dr. Tom Nolan, head of the Sergeant York Project and a geographer at the R.O. Fullerton Laboratory for Spatial Technology at Middle Tennessee State University, places the site 500 meters south of the location identified by Mastriano. The actual location of York's Medal of Honor action is still under dispute, and a memorial has been built on the site where Mastriano found the slugs. Battlefield guides are available at the Sergeant York Historic Trail.
