Much attention is given to the battles and individuals of the armed forces when learning about military history but often times, the stories that slip through the cracks are those of the civilians. In this episode, we're exploring the story of one little girl who lived in St. MarieduMont and was a witness to the liberation of France by the men of the 101st Airborne and 4th Infantry Divisions on DDay. After watching, you can learn more about this story and see the film "The Girl Who Wore Freedom" at https://thegirlwhoworefreedom.com.
