United States Army CPL Desmond Doss' religious beliefs kept him from carrying a weapon during WWII.  He fought and won the right to serve his nation where he would save countless men and be awarded the Medal of Honor, and I am honored to tell you his story.

Some books written about his life:

1. Desmond Doss: Conscientious Objector
2. Redemption At Hacksaw Ridge: The Gripping True Story That Inspired The Movie

Movie about his heroic actions:
          Hacksaw Ridge
