1 of 15: We are all Jews: The story of Roddie Edmonds

The story itself is a DU rerun. It appeared here four years ago:

"We are all Jews here": U.S. soldier honored after leading revolt against Nazi prison guards

It's back in the news.

If it's a Congressional Medal of Honor -- not a "Congressional Gold Medal," Senator Lamar -- I don't see what Trump has to do with this.

Looking at this strongly!



This Congress, @MarshaBlackburn and I introduced a bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal to MSG “Roddie” Edmonds, a lifelong Tennessean, because I do not know of a more inspiring example of the American character than the heroism of this 26-year-old East Tennessee soldier.
