His book is an excellent read, my impression is that he is a humble man for all his deeds.

I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting about ten MOH recipients in my life. With the exception of one there were very polite quite and calm. The one exception was Pappy Boyington. I had a three day hang over after partying with him. He was a blast and it was just two years or so before he died. Audy Murphy was the best, I was about seven or eight and he shook my hand and asked me how I was doing and if I would like an autograph. There was a deep sadness in his eyes that I still think about 40 some years later. The quietest one was Desmond Doss. He clearly was a reluctant hero.
