During WWII, a medic dragged more than 75 wounded Americans from a battlefield in Okinawa while snipers shot at him. His name was Desmond T. Doss, and his life is the subject of the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Doss was a devout Christian who felt a deep conviction that he should not kill another human being. He was also a patriot. Serving as a medic, he saved countless lives while risking his own. Medics were targeted by enemy snipers and were easily identified by the red cross painted on their helmets. That cross put Doss in danger, but it didn’t keep him from fulfilling his duty.

Who’s your crew? Your team? With whom has God sent you into battle?

Do you take your “cross” off to protect yourself in battle or leave it on to give hope to the wounded?
