>>Lynchburg VA Clinic Renamed For WW2 Hero Desmond Doss
(Lynchburg, VA) -- A Veterans Affairs clinic in Lynchburg has a new name. Richard Stelling with more.Preview: Voicer Script:
The clinic on Lakeside Drive was renamed for Private First Class Desmond T. Doss yesterday. The Lynchburg native refused to carry a weapon during World War Two due to his religious beliefs, but managed to save the lives of dozens of soldiers by working as a combat medic. Doss was later awarded the Medal of Honor and was profiled in the movie "Hacksaw Ridge." His son said Doss would have enjoyed knowing that his name was being placed on a medical center, since he was primarily known for being a healer.
