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.

Comments about PBS The Canteen Spirit DVD:

Having attended the 2011 Railfest in North Platte, where "A Canteen Experience" played a part, I can verify that these were truly special people. We watched The Canteen Spirit and then met several of the Canteen volunteers who are still with us, and they're as dear as humans can possibly be. Thank you, Canteen volunteers and communities, for setting a stellar example for generations to come.

Comments about PBS The Canteen Spirit DVD:

It was amazing what the people in that area did for the troops in WWII. When you think of the rationing and roads at the time. Many of the volunteers drove many hours to get them. It will probably not happen again.

Restore your faith in your fellow man

By Just one guy out there

from Lincoln, NE

Verified Reviewer

Comments about PBS The Canteen Spirit DVD:

Do you need to improve your attitude about people around you? Have you lost your faith in your fellow human beings? Do you think that everyone's out to get you in this "dog-eat-dog world?" Then The Canteen Spirit is just the thing for you. Hundreds of people gave of themselves and their earthly goods to help thousands of soldiers, most of whom they only met for a short 15 minutes. The result was lives were changed, soldiers were encouraged, and even a few marriages were sparked. Grab a box of tissues and sit down to watch this very touching video, then pick up the book and read it. Your life will be impacted.
