The newest Medal of Honor recipient, the late Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, was honored because he said no. So much goodness in our lives, including the defense of liberty, begins with saying no. It was January 1945. The war was months from ending, and Edmonds was the highest-ranking soldier among 1,292 American prisoners at a German stalag. The camp commandant ordered all Jewish soldiers — around 200 men — to fall out the next morning. Anyone who disobeyed would be shot. Through a sleepless night, Edmonds instructed his men: “We’re not doing that.” Everyone would fall out — the sick,…
