Lili Marlene is unique in that it is the ONLY song that has ever been popular with troops on OPPOSITE sides of the same war.
Vera Lynn's US equivalent would probably be Margaret Whiting ("Moonlight in Vermont") or possibly Jo Stafford..She was known as "GI Joe" for her many USO tours in the ETO

Vera Lynn had a few US hits as well, including Again (1949), Auf Wiedersehen (1952), and her 1953 version of We'll Meet Again.
