A soldier… who refused to carry a weapon? Desmond Doss was a deeply religious man who believed in saving lives, not taking them. When WWII broke out, he joined the army—not as a soldier, but as a combat medic.
His fellow soldiers mocked him, called him a coward, and tried to force him out, but Doss refused to back down. Then came Hacksaw Ridge, one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific. As bullets tore through his unit, Doss stayed behind—alone—to rescue the wounded.
One by one, he lowered 75 men down a 400-foot cliff, dodging enemy fire and whispering a simple prayer: “Lord, help me get one more.”
For his unbelievable heroism, Doss became the first conscientious objector in U.S. history to receive the Medal of Honor. His story is a true testament to courage, faith, and selflessness.
