Is that really true? Can you sight any references of a book or magazine about that? I've read several books about his life and none of them mentioned that. I want it to be true, but I also want to read the account as it happened. I even watched the Documentary about him called The Conscience Objector. I also read the Unlikeliest Hero book. I can't find that anywhere. Plus right after the events of Hackshaw Ridge, he immediatley was evacuated suffering a left arm fracture and had 20 pieces of shrapnel in his body then suffered from Tuberculosis. Not exactly the shape to assist Gen MacArthur in another rescue. Very curious.

He also contracted tuberculosis there and after he was discharged he couldn't see his son for five years until they got the tuberculosis cured.

@@dunhill1 There’s Doss’s own word in interviews, he’s got the wounds to prove’em. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ5xmsqTpry3foU.html

Doss served on both Guam and the Philippines where he was awarded 2 Bronze Stars both with "v" devices for valor. But, Doss was never wounded before the action depicted in this movie. Here's his Medal of Honor citation: "He was a company aidman when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them one by one to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On 2 May, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and two days later he treated four men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within eight yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making four separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On 5 May, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small-arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small-arms fire, and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On 21 May, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aidman from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited five hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, this time suffering a compound fracture of one arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty.”

Thank you, I will

Wow, thank you

Thanks for the recommendations and I want you to know that I was using my right hand it's just the camera is in mirrored

That is quite true. When I think of the stories my grandfather told me I am forced to rethink the situations that cause me to complain--they are nothing. On my thirtieth birthday my family and some friends got together for dinner at Bahama Breeze. On my grandfather's 30th birthday his unit was taking up combat positions on New Guinea in the South Pacific.

Thank you so much Jimmy ❤❤

I did! yahooooooo

@@ellareacts I knew you would!

mine too

I'm not sure she could take The Passion of Christ based on how emotional she got with this. It was hard for me to watch her getting so into the movie she was sobbing. I kinda felt bad.

Bro, she's already watched Band of Brothers just a couple months ago. Please go back and watch her reaction videos to that series.

thank you 😘

Yeah actually all that actually happened to him. In fact more happened to the guy but they literally had to tone it down because the full story was almost unbelievable

Hi Robert thank you so much for the information but just so you know I did it with my right hand but the camera was mirrored so it looked like the other way

its heartbreaking 💔 #notowar

@@ellareacts you’re welcome sweetie Ella 😊
