Conscientious Objector

In March 1941 Doss began working as a ship joiner at the Newport News naval shipyard. After the United States entered World War II, he was offered a military deferment but chose instead to join the army on 1 April 1942. He later explained, "I felt like it was an honor to serve my country according to the dictates of my conscience." Doss married Dorothy Pauline Schutte, of Richmond, on 17 August 1942 before going on active duty. Although his faith forbade him from bearing arms, Doss willingly served in the military. "While I believe in the commandment 'Thou shall not kill,'" he stated in October 1945, "and that bearing arms is a sin against God, my belief in freedom is as great as that of anyone else, and I had to help those boys who were fighting for it." Rather than refer to himself as a conscientious objector, Doss preferred the term "conscientious cooperator" and specifically requested assignment to medical duty where he could help save, rather than have to take, human lives.

Medal of Honor

During the heavy fighting at Okinawa that began on 29 April 1945, Doss undertook a series of remarkable actions that earned him the nation's highest military honor and the nickname the Wonderman of Okinawa. The 77th Infantry took part in the intense, bloody fighting that became the last large engagement of World War II. As a private first class, Doss was in the thick of the battle and ministered to the wounded between 29 April and 21 May. On the first day he was credited with rescuing seventy-five men who had come under withering artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire at the top of a cliff. "They had no way of getting back and I could not leave them up there," he later said. "I was the only medical corpsman with them, so I just went ahead and continued to pick up the wounded still lying in front of the lines and then began the job of getting them off the cliff." He later said that his commanding officer wanted to credit him with saving a hundred lives, but Doss estimated the number at fifty, and they compromised on seventy-five. In the words of his Medal of Honor citation, 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."

Doss was the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor. Promoted to corporal, he joined fourteen other men who received their medals at the White House on 12 October 1945. Doss rode the bus to Lynchburg two weeks later for a parade in his honor. He spent about six years in military and Veterans Administration hospitals recovering from his wounds and was never physically able to work at a full-time job after that. While Doss was in the veterans hospital in Richmond, doctors discovered that he had contracted tuberculosis. He had a lung and five ribs removed, and later, in 1976, he lost his hearing suddenly.

Later Years

Doss moved to Lookout Mountain in northwestern Georgia in the 1950s and built a house in the town of Rising Fawn, where he lived with his wife and their son. She died on 17 November 1991 following a car accident. Doss had many public speaking engagements after appearing on the television program This Is Your Life in 1959. He also worked with Seventh Day Adventist scouting programs. Camp Desmond T. Doss, a training facility in Grand Ledge, Michigan, for young Seventh Day Adventists about to enter military medical service, was named in his honor in 1951. A section of Route 2 in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, became the Desmond T. Doss Medal of Honor Highway in 1990. Terry L. Benedict completed a documentary film, The Conscientious Objector, in 2004. A bronze statue of Doss, depicted in uniform and saluting, was unveiled in May 2007 at Veterans Memorial Park, in Collegedale, Tennessee. e24fc04721
