When the "Greatest Generation" passed through North Platte, Nebraska during WWII, they got a hug and a handshake, homemade cakes and cookies, and a moment of respite and prayer provided by thousands of volunteers from the surrounding communities. This spirit of service is vital to America today. You can give something back to our military members and their families. Visit militaryministry.org to see how!

  • What a beautiful reminder of when people of our great nation, come together in UNITY and LOVE!

  • Back when we loved our young men, our troops and supported each other.  Wouldn't it be incredible to live in a country that didn't differentiate

    _______-American from good old American? I wish I lived in that country... Hooray for Military Ministry for posting this video!

  • @emc1061 no sir.. i live in north platte and it is still there!!!! :)

  • I LIVE IN NORTH PLATTE.. FUN TO SEE OUR NAME WITH OVER A MILLION VIEWS!!!!!

  • My grandmother was one of those women,my mother wanted to go too but was too young . As army wife of a retired soldier i am proud of those women and how they helped the moral of those brave young men. What a great story.

  • @1bkrcp I couldn't wait to get out of Nebraska and move to southern California where I now reside...but seeing this video restores my pride in having been born and raised in North Platte. I wasn't cut out to be a Midwesterner, but that doesn't mean I'm ashamed to be from there, and specifically, North Platte. L4DFRED, you're entitled to your opinion, but I hope the passing of time changes your perspective.

  • To L4DFRED...It's a shame you lack the pride in your town like your ancestor's had.

  • A day when Americans were on the same team... wanting to win the war... and caring about one another. Great day in America. I wonder if this has also been removed from our US history books along with many other positive details.

  • @tarheelz1224 It wasn't the city or residents of Noth Platte that tore down that depot. It was owned by Union Pacifici Railroad. The residents went to some effort to save it, but were unsuccessful. See npcanteen(dot)net/ca03014(dot)­html
