Desmond Doss Was The Greatest War Hero Of World War II..... Yet He Never Carried a Gun , Or Fired a Single Shot. Never In the History Of Armed Conflict has there been a Story like This One. Private First Class Desmond Doss Refused to Leave The High Cliff where 75 Men Lay Wounded and spent 12 Hours Lowering Each Man from the Cliff in a Rope Sling amid constant Fire From The enemy and a Relentless Bombardment By his Own Artillery.. Remaining with his Fellow Men until He had Saved Every one of them... The Only thing he Lost on Hacksaw Ridge was His Bible...but not a Single Man was Lost. After The War Japanese Soldiers were interviewed who Stated that They Tried Many times to Shoot Private Doss but were Unable to..... Indeed , Desmond Doss was without doubt Protected While Saving all those Men From Certain Death... For His Remarkable Valor under fire Desmond Doss Was Awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor by The President of the United States and Has Entered into The History Books as one of Americas Greatest Heroes... A Man who Placed the Lives of Others Above his own, not just once , but 75 Times in a single day. .
