October 1947: Europeans are starving. A journalist reaches out to his fellow Americans asking them to fill a mile-long train with food to send overseas in time for Christmas.
France wants to say merci to America and her brothers-in-arms who risked everything for freedom in two world wars. But how can a ravaged country show gratitude to millions?
Hawaii wasn't a state. The territory's citizens weren't asked to help Europe. For fifty-four years they had dealt with adversity and hardship. But Hawaiian culture is deeply rooted in ancient, sacred values. And when they heard the call, the people from the land of aloha reached out on their own in a stunning display of support and island pride that celebrates the human spirit, which endures even in our darkest moments.
This is the inspiring, nearly forgotten true story about the millions of average people from two nations and one territory who united in friendship and gratitude using an ancient Hawaiian concept and a small hero on wheels, an ordinary boxcar, to remind us that above all else kindness and love are unforgettable.
