Vera Lynn singing, “Give me something to remember you by.”
always tears me up.
Lili Marlene too.

Actually..... I think she's more attractive now! Please, Lord, let me look like that when I'm 92......

I’m positively delighted to know she’s still alive.
I do not know her by her face. I only know her by her voice, and whenever I hear her sing I’m reminded of that old feeling...
...Not the love of a spouse—cyborg is more than words can say—but instead the nostalgia of merely the thought of an old romance back in a day long gone by.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? I imagine every Limey who went off to war in WW II has only the finest memories of this lady...who promised to meet him again, some sunny day.
All of us who were too young to go to war remember her, too.

“Does anyone her remember Vera Lynn?”
For the few that might not get it. This is from the Pink Floyd album and movie- “The Wall”.

Funny that I used to listen to that song and had no idea that it referred to a real person. Just figure that out in the last year or so. At the time I was Youtubing it and found this amazing live performance by her to troops in WWII. She was really something great.

The Pig. That’s what set me off. Then Rogers whipping up the Chinese with Anti-American comments.
Up to that point, I was a huge fan.
