Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Have you ever heard of Desmond Doss? When I think of the word courage, this man exemplifies it. He was a Medal of Honor winner from World War II. In short, Doss and his battalion were being attacked as they climbed up a 400 foot ridge. His battalion was under artillery, mortar, and machine gun […]
