For Five Minutes, Someone Loved Them

During World War II, train after train filled with young servicemen pulled into the town of North Platte, Nebraska for a rest stop, and those soldiers and sailors found an oasis waiting for them: coffee and doughnuts and all sorts of treats handed out by a group of dedicated women who were praying for them. In the middle of nowhere, rail cars full of strangers found an unbelievable, unforgettable love that followed them all the way to the front lines.

Thanks to Jax for the tip on this inspiring video.
