Talk:Desmond Doss

message: I changed the "first" to "only", since Doss was the only C.O. to be awarded the MoH. He was the epidome of "selfless service". Rarelibra 19:11, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Desmond Doss is NOT the only CO to win a MOH, he's the FIRST. Read the any of the articles about his death. From the Washington Post article:
"Mr. Doss was one of only two conscientious objectors to receive the Medal of Honor. Thomas W. Bennett, who was an Army corporal and medical aidman during the Vietnam War, also received the medal, according to Carol Cepregi, administrative assistant with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Bennett died while serving in Vietnam."

thread_title: Not the Only

message: Your "happy?" comment is not appreciated. The Medal of Honor is the highest award and is sacred, as far as I am concerned. Do you have any service time? If not, your ignorance is excused. If so, shame on you. Calling this man a "stupid hippie", sarcastically or not, is OFFENSIVE and will not be tolerated - especially in honor with his recent death. 
It would have taken you 5 minutes to find another color copy, yet you persisted in reverting. Next time please refrain and do the research properly. Thank you. Rarelibra 21:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What a remarkable story

message: While a news article says that Desmond Doss received a 21 gun salute, this is not correct.  The 21 gun salute is a cannon salute fired only for the President or the visiting Chief of State of another nation.  What a service member receives at his or her military funeral is a salute of three rifle vollies.  This often is wrongly called a 21 gun salute since traditionally there has been a honor guard of seven riflemen who fire this salute.208.106.32.144 (talk) 10:57, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: 21 Gun Salute actually is 3 Rifle Vollies

thread_title: Not technically a conscientious objector.

message: The current configuration of the "World War II service" section only lists the Bronze Star for Guam & Philippines, but doesn't mention the Medal of Honor at all. Just seems a general list of medals awarded during WWII service (like the Bronze Star) should also include the MoH, even with the entirely separate "MoH Citation" section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.155.198.168 (talk) 18:31, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
