Laughter & Inspiration & Motivation – 20200501

Jeff

Dear JBRish readers. During this time of increased anxiety worry and isolation I think it is a bit of a relief to sit back and try to find something to laugh about as well as some things to ponder. This is not an attempt to provide humor in bad taste.

As you can see #there are others around the world who are trying to lighten the global burden by offering a smile or two albeit a small smile; perhaps just a grin.

ATTRIBUTION – If there is an item posted on JBRish for which there is no attribution and someone can provide accurate #verifiable identification of the originator #kindly leave it in a comment and I will provide appropriate annotation.

A Soldier’s Son – Roddie Edmonds A Righteous Man

Jeff

“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.” — George S. Patton

This series is generally about the life of my father, Martin C. Ross, and his career as a soldier during WWII and the Korean War.

This particular video, however is about another soldier – Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds, and his son – Pastor Chris Edmonds. Few of us will ever have an experience like the one described in this video and fewer yet would have the courage and bravery of Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds. He has left a legacy far greater than any individual could hope to attain!.

Some days I amaze myself. Other days I look everywhere for my keys and find them in my hands.
