In 1986, I saw a spectacular missile launch from Vandenberg while driving on Rte. 1 in Malibu. I pulled over to listen for any noise it might be making, but heard none.

Then I turned on the radio. I figured that if Vera Lynn's 1953 hit We'll Meet Again were playing, the missile was coming this way from the other side of the world. But Michael Jackson or one of the pop stars of the day was playing, so everything was all right.

I sometimes wonder if We’ll Meet Again will get a revival in our lifetimes. A poignant song from the very darkest days of a major war.
