The extraordinary true story of one women's selfless act that inspired thousands and benefited millions.
 
In 1941, when 26-year-old Rae Wilson heard that her brother's troop train would be making a stop in their hometown of North Platte, Nebraska, she organized a group of ladies to welcome the boys with food and gifts for their long journey off to war.  But a different train without her brother arrived instead, and Rae's decision to welcome these young men and women with open arms transformed her generosity into a four-and-a-half year phenomenon.
