Memorials, Recognition - Master Sergeant Roderick “Roddie” W. Edmonds, posthumous receipt of Medal of Honor -

This bill honors Master Sergeant Roderick "Roddie" W. Edmonds, a World War II veteran from Tennessee who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. It formally recognizes his heroic leadership as a prisoner of war during the Battle of the Bulge, when he protected over 200 Jewish-American soldiers by refusing to identify them to German guards. The resolution commends his moral courage and selfless devotion to duty, which saved lives and upheld military traditions. This legislative action serves as a memorial tribute rather than establishing new laws or policies.
