Desmond T. Doss was the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor (Cpl. Thomas W. Bennett, an army medic during World War II, is the only other). He was a Private First Class (at the time of his Medal of Honor heroics) in the U.S. Army assigned to the Medical Detachment, 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division. Desmond Doss refused to kill, or carry a weapon into combat, because of his personal beliefs as a Seventh-day Adventist.
