Corporal Desmond Doss — The Hero Who Saved Without a Rifle 🇺🇸 On October 12, 1945, outside the White House, President Harry S. Truman didn’t just award a medal — he held the hand of a legend. “I’m proud of you,” Truman said, his voice filled with emotion. “You really deserve this. I consider this a greater honor than being President.” Corporal Doss, the fearless medic of Hacksaw Ridge, saved 75 men without firing a single shot. His courage still echoes through history. #DesmondDoss #HacksawRid

3.5K views · 86 reactions | Desmond Doss was the first conscientous objector to receive the Medal of Honor. He saved at least 75 men at Hacksaw Ridge, singlehandledly dragging them to safety. The battlefield medic refused to carry a weapon as he focused on healing instead of destroying. He didn't even have to join the military because he already worked in ship-building. Doss also inspired the Mel Gibson-directed movie starring Andrew Garfield. | History Collection | Facebook
