I had heard about this town, and wanted to know more about it. I found Mr. Greene's book informative and interesting. This town and its neighboring area of Nebraska fed over 6 million service men as they went through North Platte during WW11. The interviews of the people who fed them are as touching as those who enjoyed their hospitality. I was impressed with the fact that families would use their stamps they had to use to buy staples like sugar to bake cakes and cookies rather than use them for them selves. Things like this showed how the home front did all they could to support the war effort. Mr. Greene has insured this time, place, support, and love will not be forgotten.
