    In the podcast episode of "What in the World" with host Jereme, the spotlight is on the eminent American World War I soldier, Alvin Cullum York aka Sergeant York. Born in 1887, York was hailed as one of the most decorated soldiers whose heroic deeds contributed significantly to the US-led portion of the Meuse-Argonne offensive in France. The defining moment of his career was when he charged a German machine gun nest, leading to the collection of 35 machine guns, the killing of 25 soldiers, and the capture of 132 prisoners. His valor fetched him the respected Medal of Honor and also recognition from allied countries like France, Italy, and Montenegro. The episode concludes with a call for listeners to explore more about York's life and accolades through resources provided in the show notes.
