This Is Your Life - Desmond Doss

I've just watched Hacksaw Ridge and came here to see the man himself. The word hero gets thrown around a little too easily nowadays, this man is the textbook definition of a hero. Nice to see he went on to enjoy a happy life.

Saw the amazing movie, Hacksaw Ridge , yesterday and was pleased to find this episode of "This is your life" honoring Desmond Doss, an incredible man of faith and a true hero. What a tremendous story of self-sacrifice and courage. He truly lived God' s command to lay down our lives for our fellow man.

[@russeli1941]

This man is my new hero! I was stationed on Okinawa in 1979 during peace time. I was 17. My time there was a walk in the park up against Mr. Doss's time. I have so much respect for him and those that he marched with. Heroes for real!

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

This episode was aired on February 18, 1959. Sadly, Colonel Gerald G. Cooney passed away from a heart attack at just 46, on June 10, 1961 (DOB: August 10, 1914). So very, very sad that he survived the horrendous war but died so young of heart disease. I also found out today that he had a son named Gerald George Cooney, who also served in the Army like his father, and fought in the Vietnam War. He passed away at an even younger age than his father, at 36-37 (1950 -1987). I don't know what he passed away from because it's not listed on the site I found him on, but it breaks my heart to know this piece information. Thank you both for serving our country and both of you are heroes.❤

[@mightyoaks77]

I know, I'd bet every one of them have never known conviction selflessness self sacrifice courage etc all the basic things built into the character of a man like this and many others of a generation that still had morals and decency who where asked to go fight and die thousands of miles from home to protect ppl they didn't know against real life genocidal monsters and stop it reaching america. These ppl love to judge those men who also fought and died to protect THEIR freedom by 21st century standards which is pathetic on every level, can you imagine them stood by an anti aircraft gun during the battle of Britain telling those trying to shoot down bombers before they get the chance to wipe out a whole town of women and children that they should be ashamed of themselves and there's no excuse for shooting at ppl🤔 or those american soldiers in the pacific that often had to protect the Japanese civilians from their own soldiers they were wrong🤔 Or maybe stand in front of the third reich as they march into France in 1940 getting ready to systematically murd*r another part of 6.6 million innocent souls for being Jewish and shame them with words until they turn around and go home🤔 the delusion.....

A guy in the British Royal Air Force, stood 5ft 7inches and weighed about 10 stone. Skinny runt who his squadron believed would never be able to react in an emergency, because of the way he talked and his build. Going on board a navy ship, he and three others were badly injured when the gangway collapsed and they fell 30 feet into the harbour. Despite suffering multiple life threatening injuries, he supported one of the other victims until help arrived. They didn't think he was injured because he was swimming around and helping the girl. When his boss walked into hospital to see him he said, 'well done you proved us wrong'

I am in awe of this man and what he did for the men he describes as his buddy's, a lot of them who barely gave him the time of day in the beginning but were proud and grateful to have known him by the end.

I saw Hacksaw Ridge last night and it is great movie. It doesn't portray his life or actions on Okinawa with 100% accuracy but than no movie ever does that. Andrew Garfield's role is convincing and powerful. The battle scenes are intense and graphic and the sound effects are epic. You can hear the sounds of bullets slamming into their targets, whatever that may be. It is a bit slow in the beginning as it develops background on Doss but once he enters the Army it grabs your attention and keeps it for the rest of the film. The theater was packed with only a few empty seats and the audience applauded when it ended. Go see this one.
