What if there was a hero in your own family, and you didn’t even know it? What if that hero was your own father? This is what happened to Chris Edmonds, who discovered the incredible bravery and sacrifice of his late father, Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds, an American soldier, born and raised in Knoxville, who put his own life on the line to stand up to the Nazis and save hundreds of his Jewish compatriots during the darkest moments of World War II. This is the story of a father and a son, and of a true American hero.
