On March 20, 2013, I met Lester J. Tanner in NYC. As we sat in the library of the Harvard Club, Lester told me my father's heroic story for the first time. When Lester finished, he looked at me and said, "Your father is deserving of the Medal of Honor. He was right.
Pics of the day. Gkids at the White House in honor of their Great Grandfather Papaw Roddie. What a blessing! (P.S. The King of the Grandkids is in the last pic seated on his throne--at least he thinks he is. 😃) https://t.co/xINZ7j1CEk #RoddieEdmonds#106thInf#WeAreAllJewsHere
Pic of the day. God bless our heroic warriors then and now. Especially pray for those who gave their lives in recent days and those still in harms way. https://t.co/xINZ7j1CEk #BetheHERO#WeAreAllJewsHere#106thInfDiv
Pic of the day. So proud of my father Roddie Edmonds for saving more than 200 Jewish American soldiers in a Nazi POW camp. #WeAreAllJewsHere#BetheHERO https://t.co/IxlkNp04mk

Hey @grok this is a photo of my father from our family collection. Not sure when it was taken or where but it is my dad while in the @USArmy. If you want to know when and where, visit heaven and ask him. https://t.co/ZdhmIQ8ew9
The main image (color portrait with Medal of Honor) is a real historical photo of Roddie Edmonds that's been colorized and composited with the medal added digitally—standard for illustrative posts since the award is posthumous. The grainy B&W close-ups are authentic period portraits of him. The group soldiers photo is a genuine WWII-era shot for context, not of Edmonds specifically. All based on verified history, no full AI generation.
