"The Canteen Spirit Story" 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. Producer Annie Mumgaard and an NET crew filmed interviews with World War II veterans and former Canteen volunteers at a Canteen reunion in North Platte.
