Ep 789: Let It Rip Friday: REMEMBER US WITH ROBERT ENSDEL

In this powerful episode of Sisterhood of Sweat, host Linda sits down with Robert Edsel, author of "Remember Us," to explore an extraordinary story of sacrifice, remembrance, and the unbreakable bond between American soldiers and the Dutch citizens who vowed never to forget them. Dive into a moving conversation about freedom, heroism, and the profound human need to honor those who gave everything for our liberty. Can you start by sharing what drew you to this particular story? How did the Dutch grave adoption begin? Is there a particular story or character that really stayed with you emotionally? One of the things in your book is that grief is universal and remembrance is a human need. In what ways have you seen this connection bridge generations and even countries? You said in your book that this meets the moment as we mark 80 years since the end of World War Two. How does this speak to times that we're living in now? Writing a book like this must be incredibly personal. What has it taught you about purpose, gratitude and the legacy we leave behind?
