If you called him a hero, Desmond Doss would’ve likely corrected you.

The young World War II medic who singlehandedly saved the lives of 75 American soldiers on the Maeda Escarpment of Okinawa in 1945 would say that he only did what was right. And he would also say that he never carried a weapon because he was in the business of saving lives, not taking them. On this special episode of 3tentstalk we celebrate American Independence Day by acknowledging the sacrifices of Desmond Doss.
