Material A "That future disappeared in an instant on June 5, 1917, with the arrival of a little red postcard from Washington, D.C. It was from the federal government, ordering Alvin York to register with the local draft board. Every man between eighteen and forty-five years old in the county got a card just like it. On April 6 the United States had declared war on Germany which had been fighting against much of Europe since the summer of 1914 and threatened America's allies Britain and France." (19-20) "Alvin was a brave man, and a strong one. He was probably a better marksman than the best sharpshooter the army had. He would make an excellent soldier. Except that he didn't believe it was God's will for one man to kill another. The sixth commandment was unequivocal in Alvin's mind: "Thou shalt not kill" (Ex. 20:13). As a part of his religious conversion, York had become a pacifist. The onetime knife-wielding brawler now believed men and women were made in the image of God and that one man had no right to take another man's life. If a man was evil or wrong, Alvin trusted in God to sort matters out in His own time. He knew he could not kill another human being. At the same time, Alvin was a true patriot who took pride in American freedom. He now respected the law and followed it responsibly. His was an impossible situation: a law-abiding citizen called by his country to defy God's commandment." (20) 8
