Query: Memories of Small Town America

Having grown up in a small town, this book really hit home about how things have changed.... and not always for the better. The story of Noth Platte is remarkable simply based on the huge number of soldiers who passed through the Canteen when compared to the tiny size of the town's (and surrounding area's) population. Their generosity reflects the way things used to be - when we weren't so busy worrying about ourselves that we failed to see the needs of others.This is a great book that will bring back memories for many adults, and should be a required reading for teens when learning about the sacrifices made during WWII.
