Vera Lynn died on Thursday in Sussex, England. She was 103. During the darkest days of World War II Ms. Lynn gave hope and comfort to British soldiers with her song “The White Cliffs of Dover.” She sang in a theater during the Blitz and sometimes had to sleep there until the all-clear sounded. You have probably heard the song, but if not, you can find it on YouTube. It is wonderful and still moving.
