✝ This Good Friday, we honor God by giving thanks, and ultimately remembering the price He paid and the suffering He endured on our behalf on the cross. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 #GoodFriday

A Soldier's Whisper
A Soldier's Whisper@SoldiersWhisper·
In the Pacific, during the final years of World War II, there was a soldier who entered battle without a rifle. His name was Desmond Doss. Doss served as a U.S. Army medic and was a devout Seventh-day Adventist. His faith would not allow him to take a life—but it demanded that he protect them. That conviction made him an outsider. Fellow soldiers ridiculed him. Officers threatened punishment. He endured it all without backing down. Everything changed on Okinawa. At the Maeda Escarpment, later known as Hacksaw Ridge, American troops were ordered up a near-vertical cliff into devastating fire. Many were wounded. When the order came to pull back, the injured were left exposed on the ridge. Doss refused to leave. Through darkness and chaos, he searched for survivors, hauling them to the edge and lowering them to safety with a rope—one after another. Explosions shook the ground. Gunfire cut through the air. He was hit, then hit again, yet he kept moving, whispering, “Just one more.” By the time morning came, dozens of men were alive because he stayed without a single shot… #History #Hero #WW2

💐 Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dorothy, who would be 105 years old. Desmond became totally deaf in 1976. Dorothy served as his ears, documenting Desmond's conversations. An inspiring example of love and honor. ❤✨ #HappyBirthday #Love #Honor #DesmondDoss #LiveLikeDoss
