Dame Vera Lynn Sings A Couple of Classics

Veterans and many of their family members will know the words to these classics from WW2 - "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "We'll Meet Again".
Get out the tissues, tune up the vocal cords, and click on the photo for a nostalgic treat. 



Postscript: A verse in the song "The White Cliffs of Dover", which is not always heard in recordings, contains the following reference to Airmen - 
"I'll never forget the people I met braving those angry skies.
I remember well as the shadows fell, the light of hope in their eyes.
And tho' I'm far away, I can still hear them say "Thumbs Up!"
for when the dawn comes up,... There'll be blue birds over..."
