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!

If you enjoyed this snippet of video (and who among us would not?), I encourage you to put "The Canteen Spirit" at the top of your Netflix queue. Like this short video, The Canteen Spirit will both inspire and bring you to tears. It's a magnificent documentary and retrospective of the best generation of the 20th century. What a generation it was!!!!!
