    Could America still act like this today?
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022*

One of the the best books I’ve read in years.  I could picture my dad as an 18 year-old, 115-lb army private being on one of those troop trains to the west coast to fight in the Pacific Theatre, being one of the six million soldiers served a 10-minute feast by the generous folks of North Platte and its surrounding towns.  Wow. Every day of the war from 5am to past midnight, around 36 trains a day. All volunteers. Heartwarming and well-researched.

Much as been written about World War II, but the war became particularly personal for the people of North Platte, Nebraska.  Imagine this:  You expect  to greet and treat "your" soldiers traveling through town on a train; instead, it's a train filled with strangers serving our country.  What do you do with the cake, coffee, sandwiches, and gifts?  In North Platte, Nebraska, you serve the gifts to the strangers and treat members of the military like family!  The stories are inspiring as they involve sacrifice and ingenuity.  No chicken eggs for angel food cake?  Experiment with turkey eggs until you get it right.  Save your ration coupons so "the boys" can have coffee and sandwiches.  Comfort those in the hospital car.  Young girls often "hid" their names and addresses in the gifts, corresponded with the soldiers who found the slips of paper, and eventually celebrated their weddings in North Platte.  I read this book when it was first published.  I'm giving my daughter-in-law, the wife of a Marine pilot, a brand new copy for her birthday.  This book is timeless and reminds us of the sacrifices made by civilians, as well as soldiers, in a time of war.
