Nan and I are among the few here who listened in childhood to Kate Smith singing on the radio that lovely rendition of God Bless America.
We were steeped in all the WWII patriotic songs, and I especially loved The White Clffs of Dover, and the poignant Coming In On A Wing and A Prayer.
The latter was often the case of our bombers returning from bombing raids over Europe, trying to get back to bases in England.
My older sister's husband-to-be was a tail gunner in one of the B-17's involved.
My current favorite is Lee Greenwood's God Bless The USA.
The White Cliffs of Dover is such a pretty song.
