Often times we speak of heroes as these people who have a massive effect on our world. Superman punches the massive meteor away, Spider-man saves the city of Boston, or even the crew of the Apollo 11. Though it may be true that all these people are heroes, many other people could be considered heroes, a police officer, firefighters, doctors, and social workers to name a few. Soldiers would also be in that list, and in our media, soldiers are often shown to be heroes, and my paper is on one of those Heroes. Desmond Doss, a field medic during WWII who refused to use a weapon due to his religious beliefs. But before we jump to his heroic moments, we have to start at the beginning.

Desmond grew up as a Seventh-day Adventist. His father was a drunk, so his mother was the one to nurture his faith (Wikipedia Contributors, 2019). One day his father got drunk with Desmond’s uncle (admin). Desmond’s father and uncle got into an argument, which got so heated that his father drew a pistol on his uncle. Desmond’s mom was able to get in the way of the two men before anything escalated further. She had called the police beforehand, and in fear of her husband getting into more trouble, handed the gun to Desmond and told him to hide it in the woods that surrounded his property. Desmond got back just in time to see his father be loaded up into a police cruiser. That day Desmond swore never to touch a gun again. His actions moving on would show his faith in this oath, and we would hear about the struggles he went through because of it.


Despite being offered a deferment because of his shipyard work, Desmond was set on joining the military. He said that he couldn’t sit aside while others fought for his country (Emancipated by TRUTH). Desmond was sent to Fort Jackson to start his training with the 77th Infantry Division. Soon afterwards, he started to learn how to be a combat medic with the 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division. Because of Desmond’s religious beliefs, he refused to use a gun and to kill enemy soldiers. This brought a lot of harassment from fellow recruits and officers within his division. Desmond said that those months were some of the hardest for him. When Desmond finished his training, it was off to deployments with him, in which he would show great bravery and be rewarded two bronze medals for exceptional valor in aiding wounded soldiers while being under fire himself.

One of his deployments, the Battle of Okinawa, was brutal. They had enemies waving white flags only so that they could get close enough to run suicide bomb runs. Desmond watched his friends drop around him. The battle was constant pushes and retreats, both sides trying to steal a mountain peak. On one of these retreats Desmond stayed back to save the fallen soldiers around him. Within a night, Desmond had brought back 75 US soldiers along with some Japanese soldiers. He was wounded four times while on this deployment, once having seventeen pieces of shrapnel in his leg after kicking a grenade away to save himself and the soldiers around him.

Desmond Doss is a recognized hero, his deeds have inspired so many, and he’s saved many lives. There're many other untold heroes, many medics and soldiers and ship captains who gave up their life to win the war. I would encourage anyone I met to look into those who have served us, to remember always, not just once a year when the poppies grow.

I tried to translate it into Turkish.

Sımsıkı tutun hayallere
Hayaller ölürse hayat
Kanadı kırık bir kuş
Uçamayan

Sımsıkı tutun hayallere
Hayaller bittiğinde hayat
Kıraç bir tarla
Karla kaplı
