I cant even dream or imagine doing what Mr. Doss did during the War,God was indeed with him. Thank you Desmond for sticking to your beliefs. R.I.P. Mr. Doss
Congressional medals of honor were mostly worthless after over 20 were awarded for attacking an unarmed Indian encampment.
Mr. Doss is probably one of the most courageous men who have ever lived. He should be celebrated around the world for his bravery, integrity and grit. I am at a loss of words to express my respect for this good man.
Is an American thing not a world thing the world is lots bigger than Americans issues.
@@Casca-su3tyin this case, this was a world thing. He was an asset in helping with the defeat of Japan. It took nearly every country in the world to stop Japan, Germany, and Italy during WWII.
Mr Doss proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that when you arm yourself fully with the Lord you shall overcome. God blessed him.
Courage, Bravery, Heroism are great in a man. Yet, Integrity is before them all. God instills Integrity in each man and woman. If they utilize it in life is not true for all. This man was humble and did not compromise his integrity. God was above him and he honored him by committing to keep his 10 Commandments despite the odds that came roaring at him.
We aut to model ourselves and loved ones after his example. To God Be The Glory
i see your point but there is a ton of heroic stories from the 2 world war for both sides we cant celebrate everyone@@gregoryburns648
I never get tired of watching and hearing the stories of Desmond Doss. There is no better example of what a HERO looks like. Now gone from this life, but never to be forgotten.
Yes you can apply the word to this man! Hero!
He didn't fight but he was the bravest person on the battlefield that day. That's so incredibly honorable.
Thank You Lord for giving us Mr. Doss. He's earned his wings.
Mr Doss's heroic actions were not driven by hate but by love. He even rescued some Japanese wounded when his own life was very much at risk.
God Bless this man and his family.
God's Hand was on this man.
Honor and Glory to God.
R.I.P. Desmond T Doss! You are truly a HERO!
The bravest man who ever lived there will never be another man like private doss why ain't they teaching kids about this man in history class they should
What a wonderful human being.
American bravery. I hope all 75 men he rescued were at Heavens Gates welcoming him home when he was called by the Lord. God bless!
OUTSTANING POST ! SEMPER FI !
He demonstrated honorable conduct not only as a soldier but also as a human being. To describe his actions as heroic would be an understatement. May his actions and memory, forever live on.
The lord blessed this man so much the fact he could rescue 75+ people without baring an arm is tremendous one of the best men in history in my opinion we appreciate you Mr. Doss also when he kept saying please God help me get one more. The lord helped him get one more until there wasn’t anymore left to get
…bearing an arm.
this is a valorous man who not only won the highest achievement on the planet, but also won the highest place in Heaven.
He deserves every salute he gets..
God is great and this man is proof
Perhaps the bravest man ever to wear a uniform.
This guy was insanely heroic…
What a man. What a legend.
Thank you Private Doss for teaching some of us the art of bravery and firmness. You stood for saving lives. Your belief in God is contagious. 🫡🪖🎖️🎖️🎖️
One of the very greatest American heroes of all time. A truly lovely man. God bless.
You're wrong.
He is one of the very greatest HUMANS and heroes of all time, throughout the entire history of humanity. What he did is simply mind-boggling, and I still will never understand or begin to believe how everything happened was real, of all the favourable coincidences to stay alive, and how he even single-handedly did that much. It legitimately questions if there actually IS a god.
I’ve had the honor to meet two recipients of the Medal of Honor. Very nice guys. And when I asked them if they were scared. The both said “yeah, but they were to busy doing their job and didn’t really have time for scared “. 👍👍🇺🇸
What else can be said that hasn’t been said already ? We throw the term Hero around these days like it was nothing special, I have only four people of the 20th century I can call a true Hero and Desmond Doss is at the very top of that list. Thank you for your service Sir.
What a humble man. As brave a man as was ever born IMO. Just think of all the people alive today that would not be here if he had not done everything he did. All of the decedents of those men alive today becusse of his bravery. Truly an amazing man.
I trained as a Combat Medic fully expecting to be sent to Vietnam.
However I was sent to Germany instead. I did what was expected of me without question. As I watched this video several times and I wonder if I could have done a fraction of what what Medic Doss did. God Bless those who gave of themselves so others may live!,.. Amen!
My grandfather got deployed to Germany at the same time, he was about 2 weeks away from being transferred to Vietnam when we ended our fight there
No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. John 15:13🙏😞
May the loving powers of haven forever lavish their love upon such a brave, kindly and modest soul. Most respectfully, Michael Weeks, San Antonio, Texas.
I’m so into this he’s a real hero!!
Absolute faith in God. He actuall walked through the valley of death.
I am amazed at his faith when faced with the carnage during that battle as a Medic. I am not surprised that God was there for him, assisted and protected him because of his faith.
Such an honorable man indeed.
One of the most brave and humble beings from what I have ever seen or read.
Being a medic myself i don't know if I could have done what he done he was one of the greatest heroes my brother Jack who just passed away did 2 tours in vnam and he was one of the reasons I wanted to be a medic i always did the best I could and still do today i might be in my 70s but u never forget
Desmond is resting in heaven.
Years ago I had the Great Honor to meet him and Dorothy, they were my neighbors for a few years. A very humble man. This country needs more real men like Desmond Doss. My father served in WWII along with more brave men and women then you could count and they are all heroes, some are just greater than others.
Desmond Doss displayed unbelievable courage compiled with love for his fellow man he was a true man.
The fact that I didn't know who this was until I watched hack saw ridge is crazy they should be teaching his story in schools
War is hell. Only with the power of God can heroes like this do what they did.
This is what a hero is
“Lord let me get one more” powerful
So much love and respect.
I believe there is a reason I saw that movie and learned about him this friday , it is easy to hate people , but to love them no matter the odds or the cost is not so easy , it takes courage and tenacity.
Him being proud of the President shaking his hand. No dude, He should be proud shaking your hand
The sheer guts and resolve to do what this man did... that's some genuine bravery right there
Rip Mr. Desmond Doss true hero!!
Even if you dont believe in God, you have to respect this man for doing what he did, and keeping his faith
Speaking as a secular humanist, Desmond Doss is one of the best of us, singular and beyond all other compare.
I got so touched by his history. I believe God did that huge miracles thru Desmond because he was so obedient and fearful of God. I believe that hugeness is how God can do good things thru every person who loves Him and respects Him as Desmond did. ❤
A real Hero
In my opinion there is no greater sacrifice that you can make than to be an American soldier. And Desmond is at the very top of that list. Because he choice to save lives.
I love the story as a combat veteran myself I lost a good friend in Vietnam, who was are combat medic that hurts us that New him to this day that’s how much respect we had for him 🇺🇸
The line, i didnt feel like i should value my life above my buddies hits. I have the upmost respect for this man in my eyes he deserves 10 medal of honors
This man was a true hero he saved 75 men i wounder how many lived to thank him what a man a man above men what a heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️
His opening statements telks us alot of the intent of his Heart , God Bless this great man.
This man was a certified bad ass!
May almighty god grant you eternal peace mr.doss, utmost respect, steven ashcraft, grapevine, arkansas
I saw Hacksaw ridge just recently and I still cannot comprehend the magnitude of bravery and sacrifice this man made and I have to say the movie nearly had me in tears , not only because of what he did but the fact that I fell away from Christianity, not trying to start a conversation here about religion thats not why I commented but Just to say Ive been bitter and angry towards many people especially christians . Started to hate christians actually because some people are only in name christian and you see some of the horrible things they do being ,extremely hypocritical, violent , racist, warmongerers ,judge gays but then will have sex outside of marriage .People like this hero reminded me that however not to judge all chrisitians for for the actions of some and I also realized that this past few years I basically became what I disliked in many christians .Desmond Doss inspired me and helped remind me that just like the bible says to love everyone and there is no greater love then to lay down ones life for his friends , Im not saying Im christian again but I want to love people from now on no matter how rude , disrespectful they are etc .Desmond Doss thank you for taking a stand for your beliefs even in the face of death ,hate and persecution.
I hope God opened Heaven for this man. Ridiculed, then loved this gentle man is a hero for all of us to emulate every single day of our lives.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One Japanese soldier said he had Doss in his sights 3 different times but every time he pulled the trigger his gun jammed.
Lord jams the rifle. Doss rescue even more soldiers! 💪🫡
Damn..
This is what real HEROS ARE MADE OF,PURE COURAGE!!!!!
I bought the movie hacksaw ridge when I knew that it was going to be about his experience I watch it all the time it is truly amazing the spirit and the motivation that this man had to save people there are hundreds of people now living that can be thanking him for what he did do he was truly an amazing person rest in peace mr. And thank you so much this is truly what hero is and what they do
I would truly have liked to have met him he was such a pleasant person it seems like
Thank you for your service ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
May God bless mr. Doss
Hero isn't a strong enough word for this man. The inspiration and example he forged is immeasurable in the military and the church.
No matter what anyone thinks this man was a true hero, Desmond doss. Even tho you are in heaven!. Know this you were a hero like no other.!
Mr. Doss is the one of the most important people to me and so when I am older I will join army as respect to him and the fallen.
He may be the bravest soldier to have ever lived. I'm not even kidding.
Desmond truly knew that God was on his side. Rest in peace Mr. Doss, and thank you to all of our armed forces
Dude was such a badass
Outstanding hero😊😊
A TRUE AMERICAN HERO
Just visited his gravesite in Chattanooga, TN......God Bless you Doss....
Watched the movie many times and loved it. Congrats Doss.
Just watched hacksaw ridge for the first time. Probably one of if the greatest movie I’ve ever watched
🇺🇸🙏Thank You Sir, the Lord does work in mysterious ways 🙏
Seventh-day Adventists around the world are proud of this man!
No. Their delusional, just like the rest of you.
I always think of Desmond when I read about climbers leaving people on Everest.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE
An Incredible Man,
Served at a Incredible time and saved countless lives.
A Testiment of what one can accomplish with a Steadfast Belief in God.
It's all accomplished only through God.
DESMOND DOSS was the bravest man on Hacksaw Ridge !!
For the REAL story of Hacksaw Ridge , read THE UNLIKELIEST HERO ( Pacific Press 1966 )
They don't mention that Corporal Doss was offered a deferment from the draft due to his prior service as a joiner in a shipyard. Instead he elected voluntarily to serve in combat.
Inspiring
President Truman was heard to quip "Then I got to meet Desmond Doss. He shook my hand like an old friend. Didn't even give me time to get nervous!"
I don't know if people are aware of it, but he also tried to save some Japanese lives. He risked his life for them, as well, magnifying his concern for humans, rather than compatriots or enemies. He lowered the Japanese down, but, like one American said, "They didn't make it."
All honor to Desmond Doss.
He was an amazing man .
Im lost for words on just how amazing Desmond Doss is. He showed not just courage in the face on an ememy but tremendous personal courage for sticking to his values in the face of great danger. I like to think he was never even tempted to pick up a weapon, but even if he did think about it he never acted on it and that shows strength.
I just finished Hacksaw Ridge for the umpteenth time. Needless to say this man is/was one of the bravest men in history! God bless and rest in peace Desmond Doss, you’ve truly earned it!
He inspires me often in my daily life and strengthens my faith in life
What a magnificent man A great soul
Definition of Courage. 🙏🏻🫡
When Harry Truman presented Desmond Doss with the Congressional Medal of Honor, he told him he was more proud of him receiving the award than he was of being President of the Unites States.
Desmond Doss was a Seventh Day Adventist, and they do not believe in killing people. He honorable represents, and embodies in his actions, this belief. Doctor George W.
To stand for peace in the name of Jesus is a revolutionary act , to me that is true bravery and honor .r.i.p Doss.
I am not religious btw
.
Wow. What a hero! My Salute sir. May this country produce many alike you and forever protect the ideal and constitution of this great nation.
Amen mr. Doss
Ahhh i get goosebumps every time i watch this! God bless you doss and thank you for your service and sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.
Maybe Bravery is not about how to take a punch or take a bullet but how you overcome everything what circumstances you face..
" Be Strong and Courageous
For The Lord Your God Is With You. " - Joshua 1:9
Anyone in the Chattanooga area that wishes to can pay their respects at Chattanooga National Cemetery where Cpl. Doss is buried.
What a brave man. What a hero. I am speechless in the face of so much bravery.
Hand Salute…TWO
Great man
MUch Respect❤❤❤
