There were many of the same supporting our Service Men. We visited one two years ago here in Ohio and it was a very moving experience.http://canteenbooks.com/Dennison_canteen.htm

My best bud's mom, at some 75ish, tells of the same thing in Dennison, Ohio. It seems Dennison was maybe the biggest non-coastal roundhouse in the country at that time. Lots of trains and servicemen. She was a younger girl then but still did her part.
