Amazing story and I think very indicative of the support and generosity of the American people.
I'm glad to hear of groups like the Military Ministry and the U.S.O. continuing that support. Our military needs and deserves that.

Re: North Platte, Nebraska Canteen WWII
Thanks Bob
My Dad was a cowboy near Curtiss, not far from North Platte in 1917 when he joined up with Colorado cavalry unit and was a remount rider before being sent to France where he fought near Chateau Thierry on the Marne. His older sister and her husband homesteaded near Curtiss in 1898 or so and he lived with them on the prarie. I visited them with my Dad in 1965 in Curtiss--out in the sand hills.
I enjoyed the canteen video a lot.
