REASONS TO KEEP WRITING: DAME VERA LYNN, age 92, singer, still holds Britain's No. 1 record “Till We Meet Again,” a WW2 song. Lynn was known as the "Forces' Sweetheart," and her songs, including "We'll Meet Again," and “The White Cliffs of Dover" were wartime anthems. As servicemen all over the world heard Lynn on the radio, and many saw her in person, in far-flung places like Burma and Egypt, she became the voice that would remind them of home. Her wartime BBC radio show, "Sincerely Yours," followed the Sunday evening news and was a must-listen for British troops abroad. She read messages from their families and performed songs they requested. Lynn is still speaking out for soldiers, appearing recently in major British newspapers to urge support for troops fighting in Afghanistan. Made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975, she has been part of important national functions, such as the 2005 anniversary celebrations of World War II's Victory in Europe Day and the late Queen Mother's birthday.
