Another post reminded me of this lovely WWII song...
The song is We'll Meet Again and the photos in this You Tube presentation are of our troops leaving for Iraq and Afganistan...

8. When the love of my life was on his way to London
for a holiday, he sang that song to me. I had not heard it before, so I quickly jotted down some of the lyrics.

I never saw him again. He died while on holiday. This past December 27 was the 22nd anniversary of his death.

My face is completely wet.

9. I'm so sorry for your loss...
But it wouldn't be a great piece of art if people didn't have deep emotional ties...
