POW Courage is explained in No Surrender - the Roddie Edmonds story


Listen Later

No Surrender is an unforgettable story of a father’s extraordinary acts of valor as a Nazi POW in Germany during the treacherous final days of World War II.
M Sgt. Roddie Edmonds, a humble American soldier from East Tennessee, rarely spoke about his experiences during World War II. Not even his son Chris, knew the full details of Roddie’s capture at the Battle of the Bulge or his captivity at Stalag IXA, a Nazi POW camp.
Chris Edmonds discusses his father's life, moral compass, and acts of valor to save 200 Jewish American soliders in the concentration camp and a second act of defiance to the Nazis that saved 1200 men too sick, emaciated and exhausted to go on a winter death march deeper into Germany as the American forces were approaching the camp. 
A quintessential American story of bravery, compassion, and righteousness, No Surrender is a shining example of the transformative and redemptive power of moral courage and a celebration of faith, family, and service, the very characteristics that continue to define us today.  
Host Jim Fausone talks about this humble man Roddie Edmonds with his devoted son, Chris.
