Trains carrying six
million G.I.'s stopped briefly in North Platte, Nebraska, during
World War II. Through photos and interviews, Canteen Spirit recalls
the moving story of the North Platte Canteen, where residents of 125
Nebraska towns gathered to offer sandwiches, cookies, doughnuts,
beverages, cigarettes, magazines and more importantly, an
affectionate, patriotic sendoff to the soldiers defending their
nation.
