- On February 18, 1959, Desmond T. Doss appeared on this episode of the This Is Your Life television program hosted by Ralph Edwards. Doss, who is the subject of Mel Gibson's 2016 film Hacksaw Ridge, refused to bear arms during World War II due to his religious and personal convictions. During this Desmond Doss interview, he is reunited with several people he knew during the war, including Commander Gerald Cooney, who had at one point considered kicking Doss out of the army.
As a bonus, enjoy the TV ads from 1959!

This is what a HERO looks like!
People imagine heroes has being big and tall. This man is the real deal. Can't keep holding my tears for this extraordinary man. What a man!!!
Astounding,it’s hard to honor such a Man with mere words ,God bless you sir!
What a wonderful man. I just watched Hacksaw Ridge, I am ashamed to say that I didn’t know of this heroic man. I have military members in my family, and I thought I knew most of the heroes of the service, but this mans actions took my breath away. The actor Andrew Garfield totally captured PFC Doss’s essence, courage, and humility. God Bless this wonderful man and his family.
I watched the movie, and have watched this episode of "This Is Your Life" twice. Such a humble, beautiful human being! and thanks to this man, and many other heroes who served so we all might enjoy freedom, I am forever thankful
If not for hacksaw ridge I would have never known about Desmond. His courage through his believes and convictions are truly miraculous.
Respect, A True hero, a role model for every one out there !
Amazing man I send my honor out to his family just a really extraordinary great person rest in peace brother
Well bloody deserved,
Just watched your movie.
You have a very beautiful family
Thank you Desmond for believing
This man is the REAL DEAL folks. More courage, commitment, and humility than any 1000+ "hero's" put together before us today.
So modest. What a amazing guy!
This was so touching if you watch till the end and skip over the adds!. what a genuine hero, and glad they gave him stuff at the end, like a new tractor and a new car plus a cheque for cash, he so deserves it.
Thanks Desmond Doss! I have been shocked after saw the movie Hacksaw ridge. I cann't believe it a true story and a real hero as Doss.
Wow, after watching the movie, i was so moved, never heard about him prior to the movie. What bravery and courage it took him to do such a great task he was a true hero and I wish there were more human beings like him in this world wow I'm Blown Away....
He really did become a legend!
this is a True real Hero...not today's crap of Celebrities bestowed to us today
I cant believe this is actually him!real him! I came here after watching Hacksaw Ridge!....amazing! God bless your soul!
thank you for uploading this
Same here!
too bad the threshold for being a hero these days is set so low...this guy is a real, giant hero
This is a interview with a real humble American hero. He rescued 75 fallen American soldiers. At the real battle on Hacksaw Ridge . As artillery shells are bombing the area. As Japanese soldiers are on foot patrol looking for wounded American soldiers. Private Desmond Doss is waiting to save as many wounded American soldiers. After his entire battalion left the top of Hacksaw Ridge . Some Japanese soldiers were later interviewed . They claim they tried to shoot , private Desmond Doss. However ;Their riles jammed . This had to be intervention from All Mighty God. Just like the Holy Bible story of King David . Was protected by God. The Holly Bible says : If God is for you , who can be against you . Simply amazing . We can have courage if we know we have God on our side. He refused to carry a rifle . Why ? His faith in God. Plus he really believed in the act of saving lives. Most Americans now days, I question if they really have this kind of faith and courage. Rescuing 75 soldiers . Just imagine you are wounded, artillery shells are falling all around you. Blood and guts are all around you. Dead fallen American soldiers all around you. Bullets flying all around you. Smoke is every where. Your shot in one lung . Plus your shot in both legs. You pray to God , you know very little about to help you. Then in the mist of the fog of war. You see a familiar face. Its private Desmond Doss with out grenades with out a rifle. He checks your pulse and asks you where you are hurt. He is calm and very at peace. As bullets are still flying by your head, and artillery bombs are still dropping every where. Would you believe there is no doubt a living God ? Now all by his self , God gives private Desmond Doss the strength and courage to carry you and tie a rope to your body to get you over a fifty foot cliff. Would you believe in Miracles at this point in your life ???????? If you have not seen the movie : Hacksaw Ridge. I encourage you to see this movie. Directed by : Mel Gipson.
Irony: he was a hero on Hacksaw Ridge and gets a saw as a gift.
Thank you to the greatest generation who put faith first, country second, and family third, and self somewhere behind that.
Un verdadero heroe de nuestro país, de la Iglesia Adventista Del Séptimo Día y de todos los objetores de consciencia.
my head in bits over this amazing human being if there is a god whatever way you practice that believe he was sent as his second son/prophet to show us a better way
These commercials, it's like they're hypnotizing me😕😕
Seeing him greet his comrades makes me want to cry. I wish the presenters, back then, would lay off the cheese. I guess the times were the times.
mrpinkroo yea it was too much. Sad thing is I'm sure fifty years from now we will look back on shows/ads from today and think the same thing heh.
Mel did amazing in keeping the film on facts and Truth events. Amazing hero. Jesus is amazing.
Thank you for putting this up. Such an inspiring story
Amen to him
A true hero
God had an 😇 on this earth...
I love the modest character shown by his facial reactions, it looks like he is uncomfortable with being honored, Wonder what he would think of the movie about him.
i honestly think he would like it.
Barbara Sunday just what I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't like the attention. Just what I've heard.
Kellyville Adventist Church wow, you know a lot. Thanks.
this was always a great show use to watch it on the TV when I was just a kid
Hell ya!
The Holy Bible says : " No greater love is there then for a man to lay down his life for you. Then in the fog of war as bullets are flying every where as the entire area you laying , comes a familiar face. Its private Desmond Doss. At peace , and asks you where you are hurt. He bandages you up. Then says : " Its alright , I am going to get you help after I get you off this mountain cliff". He is so at peace , you forget bombs , grenades, artillery shells are bombing every where. Dead bodies are laying dead all around you. Plus the enemy Japanese soldiers are walking around with long bayonets and loaded machine guns. They are looking for wounded American soldiers , to spear with a bayonet and then shoot with a loaded machine gun. Yet, here is private Desmond Doss , all relaxed very at peace. Just asking you where you are hurt. Then he calmly says;" Oh, that your going to be all right." " Let me just give you a shot of morphine for the pain". Then he says ; " I only have to get you safely over the cliff ". You were just praying for God to please save you and to please sent a angel. Now , my question is , would you believe in God and that God still does miracles ? I would.
They skip over the Guam and Philippine campaigns in the movie. His commanding officers already admired him before Okinawa, he got the bronze star. Doss thinks the cliff was only 30 ft, army said 70 ft? "Miracle on Hacksaw Ridge" documentary shows the actual cliff today. They estimate it at 10 - 20 meters - looks like around 50 ft. Incredible.
Wow...desmond doss also came in leyte philippines...😮
Love the old adverts. Love the cheese.
Joy, Prell, Gleem - still all around?
Vi o filme hoje, muito bom!
Wow I need to buy some "joy" cause my hands need a bubble bath 3 times a day
Who is long as America is America
Was the colonel at the start depicted in the movie?
Kellyville Adventist Church cheers matey.
Desmond se parese a Cristiano Ronaldo. Interesante.!! 😉☺️👍🏾
at first when Japan attacked Guam there were only about 200 or so marines stationed there they 5000 well trained Japanese marines assaulted the island they our marines stood there and fought them 5000 vs 200 marines The people of Guam went up into the hills while our Marines fought I have the complete video of this first battle of Guam .The Japanese held the island for 3 years Then we came back .our Air force pounded the island the we took it back PS ,Letters were sent to Washington war department pleading ''we need more help to guard the island to of no avail so those 200+ marines stood their ground and fought bravely
leo roys Thanks for giving some more info to a Scottish person that feels ashamed for only just learning about this great man.
As I watch this, I think "what the hell happened to this country"?

He may have to pay taxes on all he walks away with from this show. He may be able to escape taxes if he can file these products as "a gift".
