Desmond chose one of the men who seemed to be the most seriously injured. He slipped one of the man’s legs through one of the loops of his bowline  the other leg through the other loop. Now  holding on to the end of the rope  he gently rolled the wounded man over the edge of the cliff and  using the friction of the loop around the tree as a brake  let him down to the ground beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn that way  working alone  the only able-bodied man on the entire hilltop  Desmond lowered one man after another to safety. He was partially protected by the slope and the rock wall  but as it was necessary for him to remain standing during several steps of the complete procedure  his head and shoulders were often exposed. Why did no Japanese bullets seek him out? Again Desmond accepted it as the beneficent will of his God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesmond remained on top of the cliff until he had lowered \u003cem\u003eevery\u003c\/em\u003e wounded man to safety. During this five-hour ordeal  again and again  Doss prayed  \u003cem\u003eJust one more  Lord.\u003c\/em\u003e The official record would go on to state that seventy-five men had been saved by Desmond Doss  although it was likely closer to one hundred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as is true with the proverbial “Six Blind Men of Hindustan ” who each approached an elephant from a different angle  the same is true with the word “Courage.” For most people  Courage is an ideal  a trait that men  women  and children instinctively aspire to. ~ Joe L.
