The North Platte Canteen
2/21/09This amazing YouTube video is about people helping any way they can. North Platte, Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere. But it’s a place where millions found 10 minutes of love.
North Platte was a stop along the Union Pacific Railroad. During World War II, that railroad carried soldiers on their way to battle. The train only stopped in North Platte for 10 minutes. But every soldier looked forward to it.
When the first soldiers came through, they were greeted with baked goods. That kind gesture grew into a cause. During the war, 6 million men came through the small town. Each was meet with love, a smile and a treat. This is an incredible story.
