Pastor Chris Edmonds speaks on his father,
WWII Hero Army Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds

Shabbat Morning, Saturday, July 17 
Charles and Joanne Teichman are generously sponsoring Pastor Chris Edmonds' visit and co-sponsoring the Kiddush Lunch.

​Be inspired by Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, whose bravery saved Jewish American soldiers in a Nazi POW camp. Pastor Chris Edmonds, Roddie’s son, will join us in person to share his father’s remarkable story of unwavering love for humanity. Pastor Edmonds will also join Rabbi Adam Roffman for a conversation at the end of services. ​

WWII Hero Army Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds courageous story to rescue Jewish GI’s reads like a Hollywood script—but it's all true. Edmonds story is the subject of the book No Surrender by Pastor Edmonds and has been featured by the Associated Press, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX News, PBS, The New York Times, Washington Post, Facebook, Twitter, and many others. Sergeant Edmonds was recently honored posthumously as Righteous Among the Nations and has been recommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Congressional Gold Medal.
