First, I am a Vietnam Era Veteran. Second, I came by Desmond Doss through several viewings of the documentary still available on YouTube. I would suggest starting there - rather than with Mel Gibson's take on Desmond Doss. The documentary goes back to Desmond's embrace of the 10 Commandments and the Bible at about age 6. It includes interviews with family, and with people who served with him in battle and even those who persecuted him both during basic and through out his service. What is important is the direct impact Doss's witness has on the people serving with him, described in their own words and their faces showing the depth of his bearing witness to his faith. This is about what evangelization looks like when it is about faith and not about religion. He preached Jesus Christ and sometimes used words. His actions spoke. His obedience to God superseded the military chain of command - and he accepted the
consequences. Do the documentary. Bearing witness to faith.
