In the epilogue, Karen Downing Ripley reflects on her passion for sharing her Plélo experience, which inspired this podcast/documentary. After returning to Texas, she discovered that listeners were consistently surprised by the enduring gratitude Europeans feel toward American WWII liberators. She noticed how sharing oral traditions creates connections between people—just as her DNA-level war trauma connected her with the Bretons, Americans connect through sharing their family WWII stories. Viewers are invited to watch for an expanded version featuring additional videos, photos, and in-depth interviews with the people who enriched her Plélo story.
Thank you for sharing Karen's experience during Plélo's liberation celebrations. Like Karen, you may not have known of the lasting impact and immense gratitude that our ancestors in World War II continue to receive from the descendants of all those we liberated.
