========= 82nd All the Way LYRICS =========
In the draft of 1917, a man from Tennessee
Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free
Into war he brought two things along, a rifle and his faith
Join the ranks as a private, assigned to 338th
There on that day, Alvin York
Entered the fray
Saving the day
82nd all the way
Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
Entered the war from over the sea
Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee
Hill 223
When his faith has been put to the test, the call to arms he heeds
On the 8th of October he went, made a sergeant for his deeds
Fearless, leading the raid of the war, machinegun on the hill
Charge the enemy taking the prisoners, by power of his will
There on that day, Sergeant York
Entered the fray
Saving the day
82nd all the way
What Sergeant York achieved that day
Would echo to the USA
It’s 82nd all the way
Death from above, what they now say
What Sergeant York achieved that day
Echoes from France to the USA
It’s 82nd All the way
Death from above, what they now say
========= Historic Fact ==========
In 1918, Alvin York from Tennessee led the 82nd Infantry Division against the German defensive machine gun nests on Hill 223. He captured 132 German soldiers. York became one of America’s most celebrated heroes and acquired numerous medals, including the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I highly recommend looking at the story of Desmond Doss - the only conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor. He never used a weapon, and yet saved over 75 people at Hacksaw Ridge in 1945. The movie Hacksaw Ridge tells his story, but the truth is even crazier - instead of evac-ing on a stretcher at the end of the movie, in real life he ended up giving his spot to another wounded soldier. After treating that soldier, a sniper shot him in the arm, fracturing the bone and forcing him to crawl 300 yards to safety. I would love to hear a song about him. :D

NGL, I knew nothing about this until I looked up the whole story and it's just mind blowing. Alvin York was a mere corporal among 17 men attempting to storm a garrison of over 90 German soldiers fortified with a machine gun nest. When 9 of them, including their superior were wounded trying to storm the enemy's field headquarters, York took command of the remainder of his unit, and charged the the position with such ferocity that they overwhelmed the superior forces. After he killed six men charging at him with bayonets using nothing more than a submachine pistol, he then dodged fire from a leading German's officer until the officer had unloaded every last bullet in his gun. The officer, held at gun point by York, and assuming York's ragged forces had surely brought their entire 82nd division with them, surrendered himself and ordered the remainder of his men to stand down. #MostOPAnimeHeroProtagonistsofAllTime

[@keegantripp1245]

Is the 82nd still doing the requirement of being born in the US or your family being here long enough? I’m asking as a person of history knowing that the 82nd got the All American pedigree due to them only allowing Americans of American descent into their ranks. Just want to know if that’s still the case.

[@davidgillespie8788]

@@keegantripp1245 I've never heard that requirement ever. We got our name because when we were formed as the 82nd Infantry Division our members were from all 48 states at the time, hence All Americans.

[@keegantripp1245]

@@davidgillespie8788 huh. Perhaps my own knowledge is missing pieces. I just remember watching a historical documentary or reading about the 82nd and one of the reasons it was called All American was due to them putting heavy restrictions on where you as the recruit came from within the US. So an American born of two Mexican or German parents were not allowed simply because they are 1st generation if I understand the usage of the word at the time of WW1.

[@davidgillespie8788]

@@keegantripp1245 interesting, I never heard that. Our NCOs made us study the history of the 82nd quite a bit and while it's been some years, I do know why we are the All Americans. We have, I believe now, 6 medal of honor recipients and 5 combat jumps total, the first being 1943, and if I remember my Division history that is when we were designated the 82nd Airborne Division. I will for sure look into the recruitment history because that is one I've never heard of. My great uncle was 82nd and was in the Battle of the Bulge.

[@hello_world4859]

​@@davidgillespie8788 It is very cool that you was in this great unit and your great uncle was too! My great grand father was a soldier, but he is a German just as I am and therefore I can't (and don't want to) serve in his unit. He was a Major at the end of the war, leading a Panzerjägerdivision (tank hunter unit). He somehow never got a POW despite returning to Germany and being a refugee from East Germany in the 50's because he feared the soviet hunt after the Wehrmacht commanders (he was also commanding in the offense of 1941/1942 against the Soviet Union). I'm researching about him since one year, I guess, because I want to know what he did while he was a soldier (after the war he became a carpenter). Do you sometimes ask your great uncle what happened during the war or do some research? My great grandfather died eight years before I was born so I cannot ask him.

Sargent York was one of the first great heroes I learned about as a child. A man of great faith, fueled by that faith to save as many lives as he could, and so captured the enemy, taking as few lives as possible, saving both his brothers and his enemies. Almost a conscientious objector from the desire to keep the 5th Commandment to not kill, he prayed and decided to go to war, and he held to that conviction: Save life before taking it.

My maternal grandfather served in the 82nd as a radio operator and paratrooper during World War II. Since I first listened to this song, I often wonder if he and York might’ve bumped into each other at some point. (Probably not, though; and even if he did, we’ll never really know because he never mentioned anything about it and sadly passed away when Mom was 18, well before I was born.) Also, I want to congratulate you guys on achieving the highly improbable: actually getting my mom, who usually dislikes metal (whilst I am a _big_ metal fan), to _really like_ a metal band. She said it’s because you guys use your musical talent and your music itself to teach history. She’s learned a lot of things she didn’t know from the handful of your songs I’ve played for her (for instance, she wasn’t aware that the 82nd existed as an infantry division before it was an airborne division, nor that the Christmas Truce was a spontaneous thing the soldiers serving in WWI did of their own volition; she thought is was an actual official truce the governments of the belligerents on all sides agreed to) and _really_ appreciates that. So, kudos to y’all for that, and you’re doing _great_ work all around. 💜
