"Please, Lord, help me get one more. Help me get one more."
This was the prayer of World War II Army medic Pfc. Desmond Doss as he risked his life time and time again to rescue 75 wounded men on the bloody battlefield of Hacksaw Ridge.
Anyone who has seen the inspiring movie about Pfc. Doss' valor understands the absolute selflessness of the young medic who boldly entered hellish conditions in order to save lives. You can't be human and not feel a sense of awe at such personal sacrifice and commitment by a soldier following his calling in the face of incredible personal risk. Certainly, Desmond Doss is a hero for the ages.
