His own unit beat him in his sleep. Called him a coward. Tried to discharge him. He refused to carry a weapon — not out of fear, but faith. On May 5, 1945, 75 men fell wounded at the top of Hacksaw Ridge. The rest retreated. Every soldier left — except one. For five hours, Desmond Doss lowered man after man down a 400-foot cliff, alone, under enemy fire. His only prayer: “Lord, let me get one more.” He saved 75 men — including his own captain — the same men who had once mocked him. He became the first conscientious objector ever awarded the Medal of Honor. No gun. Just God. And 75 lives. Wounded Warrior Project + 4
He Carried No Gun. He Saved 75 Men. They Called Him a Coward First. Desmond Doss
