Hero of Hacksaw Ridge

When Desmond Doss enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War II, he refused to carry a weapon. His fellow soldiers mocked him, his officers tried to have him discharged, and everyone assumed he would be useless on the battlefield. Then came the Battle of Okinawa and the nightmare cliff called Hacksaw Ridge -- where this quiet Seventh-day Adventist medic single-handedly rescued 75 wounded men under withering enemy fire, lowering them one by one down a cliff face while praying 'Lord, let me get just one more.' He became the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor. This is the true story behind the award-winning film -- a story of courage, conviction, and the extraordinary things God can do through a person who refuses to compromise their faith.
