I posted my story about Cpl Desmond T. Doss back on May 5th, 2005…60 years after the action that won him the MOH. I walked the ground where it happened as a 3rd grader, when my father took us out to a sugar cane field and told me the story of a man who wouldn’t pick up a weapon, but would heal. It stayed with me all these years and thankfully, the story hit and B5, Mudville, LT Smash and a raft of other MilBloggers sent traffic.

There are links in the story to a movie abouot him. It is worth every penny and more, and worthy of anyone’s time to hear the life story of Desmond Doss. One of my regrets is that I did not drive to GA and worship with him before he passed in Mar, 2007.

Thanks for the comment!

Marvin;

Don’t spoil the next few weeks of posts! I know…and I want to honor them as well.

As far as any history of the Ops of USS O’CALLAHAN, I couldn’t find anything of note around the web. If you’d post some stories, here at your place, I’d love to chronicle at least some of the Ship’s history for this namesake/ship connection.
