Area veterans remember Desmond Doss on anniversary of his heroics

The Lynchburg area Veterans Council  is asking everyone to remember Lynchburg native Desmond T. Doss today.  It was on the night of May 4 and into the early morning hours of May 5, 1945, that Doss, as an Army Medic, saved the lives of an estimated 75 men with  heroic actions that are depicted in the movie “Hacksaw Ridge.”   The Veterans Council asks everyone to pause and remember the service and sacrifice of Doss and others from America’s greatest generation.
