Dame Vera Lynn has left us this morning, June 18, 2020. The world will remember her as a bright symbol of the times when people praized valor and sincerety and clear, straightforward actions. You will live on in our memory, Miss Vera Lynn, rest in peace.

[@mwi3865]

@Radbod Egal mad? How? It was expected. I mean they started the war in 2014 for Ukraine. And they did a trial run for this in the caucuses in the mid 2000’s. It’s not a shocker. It is a shocker that merkel decided to go even harder on being fuel reliant on Russia after the mid 2000’s tho. Damned anti nuclear idiots screwed Germany.

[@jeffcraven7376]

Yesterday I (Vet. of the U.S.A.F.) and my sweet Barbi returned home from the U.S.A.F. Museum, our second trip there, located adjacent to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton Ohio. For 3 Days at Wright-Pat they had R.C. (radio controlled) demos and competitions. The Brits were represented,with the R.C.s including two R.C. Sopwith Camels, atleast one Spitfire, and what I took as a Hurricane, plus your version of the Warthog. In the museum itself, about the same thing. The U.S.A.F. Museum gives full equal credit to the R.A.F. I think forlornly about what you dealt with before the U.S. joined the fight in WWII. I love my Brit cousins! When I come to the home of my forefathers I'll visit the RAF museum as a priority. Long live the R.A.F and the U.S.A.F.!

[@dineeneoconnor7747]

As a kid I used to hear my dad and his friends get tanked up and sing war songs and of course this was one of them. I never quite knew what they were singing about until I was in my late 30s when I went to Europe with a friend. We flew into Luxemborg and took a train to Ostende and then boarded a ferry to Dover. It was night and all of a sudden I saw these huge white things. I thought they looked like ice bergs and then I realized I was seeing the white cliffs of Dover. Tears streamed down my eyes. I have never been able to listen to this song without recalling that moment and understanding what my dad and his friends were thinking about when they sang this song.

Beautiful and nostalgic song...Mum used to sing it to me. Those Spitfires are magnificent. Brings tears to my eyes. I was born 68 years ago today, under the stairs of Chatham Naval Hospital during an air-raid.

[@RCAFIndie]

I got chills during the last scene, with the two Spits performing the loop. It was way too graceful. Something that amazing could not possibly have been designed by mortal hands, and yet we have R.J. Mitchell to thank a million times over. The most beautiful plane ever to grace the skies, and will be forever.

A gracious lady who has shaken my hand and bought me several drinks! God Bless her!

I used to sing this song to my granddaughter when she was little. Her teachers were really curious as to how she learned this song. She still remembers it and her boy friend called her from out of town last night and asked if she would sing him a song because he had a tummy ache. She sang "The White Cliffs of Dover" because it always made her feel better. You never know what you do that might last forever.

I'm afraid we are going to Very Soon wish the the Greatest Generation, the Allies that worked so hard in a common cause for the downfall of tyranny, were still with us in the flesh. The fight we will be engaged in will in all likelyhood be more like a Hostile invasion crossed with a Civil War crossed with a Revolutionary War !God Help Us.One good thing that I have ALSO noted is that you and I are by no means the only people having this conversation.

I was in the RAF Museum in London back in the late 1980's and over by the Spitfire display there was music playing in the background.
