Composed by Austin-Sinclair Harris. This edition: pdf. 21st Century, Contemporary. 84 pages. Austin-Sinclair Harris #1154692. Published by Austin-Sinclair Harris (A0.1583175).

This piece aims to musically depict the military career of Pfc. Desmond Doss, a war hero in many regards. The piece begins with a snippet of the Army theme, signifying Desmond Doss accepting the call to serve his country. Although the main theme may not sound like anything military, it speaks to the peaceful nature that Desmond Doss had. He had no intentions to use or even hold a gun, and despite being taunted for his principles (hence the na-na-na-boo-boo melody beginning at m. 36), he was never in conflict with anyone. He felt that enlisting in World War II was what God called him to do, and he used that calling to serve as a noncombatant medic. As the piece progresses, pictures are painted of Doss' enlistment and training and eventually a war scene at Hacksaw Ridge, all intertwined with the peaceful theme. His achievement of dragging 75 wounded men to safety comes near the end of the war theme with a melody that syllabifies his repeated prayer: "Please let me get one more". The opening theme follows one last time to celebrate him as a hero.
