Once Upon a Town
Greene, Bob
From Christmas 1941 to the end of World War II, the town of North Platte, Nebraska, transformed its railroad depot into a canteen where soldiers could enjoy food, music and a friendly face on their way through town. The canteen was staffed and funded entirely by town volunteers 6 days a week, 24 hours a day. This wonderful book is based on the reminiscences of both soldiers' and townspeople's experiences and showed how one town honored its "brave and dedicated sons."
