A night to celebrate the legacy of medicine and heroism, Hacksaw Ridge Movie premiere at Cinnebarre was a night to remember. KLHGroup was thrilled to work with local Charleston Orthopedic Surgeon and founder of Walk Nicaragua, Dr. Del Schutte, to raise awareness, funds, and celebrate a cinematic masterpiece based on the courageous WWII Army Medic Desmond T. Doss. Uncle Desmond's inspirational commitment to serve during the Battle of Okinawa, refusing to kill, earned him the first Medal of Honor without firing a shot in American History. Dr. Schutte continues the legacy of his uncle, through his work with the surgical mission organization, Walk Nicaragua, established in 2015, to create a sustainable joint replacement program in Nicaragua. With 60 successful joint replacement surgeries under their belt, Walk Nicaragua is off to a strong start and the legacy continues.
