Empowered To Serve
Contributed by John Bright on Nov 9, 2023 (message contributor)
In every war there are stories of courage, bravery, and acts of heroism that go beyond all human limitations. Do you know the name Desmond Doss? He was a soldier in WW2 that came from Lynchburg, Virginia. Because of his faith tradition that prevented him from carrying a weapon, he enlisted as a medic. Doss and his company were sent to Okinawa in 1945 where they had to climb a steep cliff to meet the enemy above. As the battle raged, Desmond Doss crawled on his belly to find wounded men. Over the course of 12 hours, he pulled 75 men from the battlefield and lowered them down with a rope. All the while he prayed, “Lord, please help me get one more.” This miracle was made into the movie, “Hacksaw Ridge.”
