Master Sergeant Roderick W. Edmonds was a U.S. soldier in the 106th Infantry Division during World War II. He became the highest-ranking U.S. non-commissioned officer in Stalag IX A, a POW camp in Germany. While imprisoned, Edmonds refused to assist in the segregation of approximately 200 Jewish U.S. soldiers, protecting them from potential persecution and death. For his bravery, he was honored by Israel as a 'Righteous Among the Nations', a title awarded to non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews. His actions were highlighted in a speech by President Barack Obama in 2016.
