How did Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, under threat of death, persuade over 1,000 of his fellow Prisoners of War to defy their German captors and save the lives of 200 American Jewish soldiers?

The answer is RODDIE’S CODE. This was the code by which he lived his life, the tenets of which made every man his brother.

Join us to hear Pastor Christopher Edmonds relate the story of his heroic father’s courage during World War II and its relevance today as our nation is torn by dissension and violence. Pastor Edmonds’ presentation will contain film clips of the veterans who witnessed this momentous event and will highlight turning divisiveness into finding common ground to ensure a better future for our children.
