Celebrating 80 Years of the North Platte Canteen - Syracuse Journal-Democrat

Here in Nebraska, we reserve a special spot in our history and in our hearts for the North Platte Canteen. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Canteen, a remarkable legacy of service and compassion. Serving over 6 million soldiers from December 1941 to April 1946, the Canteen and its volunteers provided our brave World War II service members moments of respite as they traveled on the Union Pacific railroad.
