The right arm features a Pacific Theater patch alongside matching Corporal stripes.

Historical Background Desmond Doss (1919–2006) is one of the most celebrated heroes of World War II. As a devout Seventh-day Adventist, he enlisted as a combat medic but steadfastly refused to carry a weapon or kill an enemy, serving as a “conscientious cooperator.” Despite facing severe harassment during training, he proved his incredible courage in the Pacific Theater.

His most defining moment occurred during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 at the Maeda Escarpment, widely known as Hacksaw Ridge. When his battalion retreated under relentless Japanese fire, Doss stayed behind. Under heavy enemy fire, he repeatedly ran into the kill zone, dragging injured soldiers to the edge of the cliff and lowering them to safety. He is credited with saving the lives of 75 men during this engagement. For his unparalleled bravery, President Harry S. Truman awarded Corporal Doss the Medal of Honor in October 1945.
