I’ve recently re-watched what I think is one of the best movies in recent years. It wasn’t about some fictional hidden kingdom on another continent, a plucky gang of thieves and their spaceship or a gang of mutants who live in hills.
It was film based on the true story about a fella named Desmond Doss. Doss, an American from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lynchburg, Virginia. Doss would not kill but would certainly would save. He didn’t see himself as a conscientious objector but rather a conscientious cooperator.
Desmond Thomas Doss (February 7, 1919 – March 23, 2006) was a United States Army corporal who served as a combat medic with an infantry company in World War II. He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions in Guam and the Philippines. Doss further distinguished himself in the Battle of Okinawa by saving 75 men, becoming the only conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Second World War. His life has been the subject of books, the documentary The Conscientious Objector, and the critically acclaimed 2016 film Hacksaw Ridge. via Wikipedia

A dog who was abandoned by her owner at an airport has died of a “broken heart”.
The dog, called “Nube Viajera” or Wandering Cloud by the vets who treated her, spent a month wandering around the terminal at Palonegro airport near Bucaramanga, Colombia hoping to be reunited with her owner.
According to witnesses, she sniffed people at the airport before giving up the search and lying listlessly in a corner of the terminal….
According to vets despite being given food and medicine via intravenous injection, the dog’s health deteriorated further into sadness and depression before dying.
