While under enemy fire on the island of Okinawa, Doss carried 75 wounded soldiers to the edge of a 400-foot cliff and lowered them to safety, according to his citation.

During a later attack, he was seriously wounded in the legs by a grenade. According to the citation, as he was being carried to safety, he saw a more critically injured man and crawled off his stretcher, directing the medics to help the other wounded man.

:bowdown:

 

I bet he had some amazing stories to tell.

 

It makes me sad to think the world has one less hero now. He wanted to serve his country to his fullest, save his fellow man, and all while upholding a personal virtue few could reflect...

 

:usa:

the greatest generation is fading away
