Title: “THE MEDIC WHO FOUGHT A WAR WITHOUT FIRING HIS GUN ONCE”

Desmond Doss, a devout Seventh-day Adventist, enlisted as a medic despite being offered a deferment due to his shipyard work. His unwavering Christian beliefs led him to refuse carrying a weapon. Assigned to 2nd Platoon, B Company, 1st Battalion, 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division, Doss embarked on a remarkable journey.

In the Battle of Okinawa, Doss’s selflessness and bravery saved an estimated 75 lives. He single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braving fire and risking his own safety. His actions earned him the Bronze Star Medal for his heroism in Guam and the Philippines.

Doss’s life has inspired books, documentaries, and the 2016 Oscar-winning film “Hacksaw Ridge”, where he was portrayed by Andrew Garfield. His legacy stands as a testament to the power of compassion and unwavering commitment to saving lives, even in the midst of war
