'The Canteen Spirit' chronicles the story of the World War II North Platte Canteen, which made history when residents of 125 communities from across the state greeted millions of soldiers, over a nearly five-year period, as their trains made a ten-minute stop at the North Platte depot. Canteen workers provided sandwiches, cakes, cookies, hard-boiled eggs, doughnuts, beverages, cigarettes, magazines and more, never once running out of provisions in its years of operation. Through historic photos, stories told through the generations and interviews with veterans and former Canteen volunteers, 'The Canteen Spirit' brings to life the patriotism and generosity of the North Platte Canteen. Annie Mumgaard and an NET crew filmed interviews with World War II veterans and former Canteen volunteers in January at a Canteen reunion in North Platte.
