His heroic actions not only earned him the unique distinction of becoming the first and only conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor during World War II, but his story was later vividly retold in the Oscar-winning 2016 film Hacksaw Ridge. Series 1995 one-dollar bill, signed in black ballpoint, "Desmond T. Doss, CMH," signifying his receipt of the Congressional Medal of Honor. In fine condition. Consignor notes that this was signed in person at an Independence Day parade in Atlanta on July 4, 1997.
