Guest Speaker: Pastor Chris Edmonds
"The Inspiring Story of Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds"
plus
presentation of the 2025 John C. Randolph Award to Kimberly Coombs
Pastor Chris Edmonds is the son of WWII hero Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, Righteous Among the Nations. He is the author of the award-winning book, No Surrender: A Father, a Son, and an Extraordinary Act of Heroism That Continues to Live on Today.
Sergeant Edmonds' remarkable story and Chris' improbable journey to discover it reads like a Hollywood script, but it's all true. Roddie's selfless actions to save his Jewish brothers in a Nazi POW camp is a timeless story of moral courage and faith that inspires us all, as seen in the documentary, Footsteps of My Father.
