I don't remember her from then, but she's been wheeled out at remembrance things all my life...... and "We'll Meet Again" is 80 years old, not 40 :/ Which lyrics are you thinking of?

I met her when I was a teen. A radio/TV station in Hartford CT, loaned interest free money to teens so they could buy livestock for 4-H participation, and the money didn't have to be paid back until the critter was sold. Anyway, every summer they had a picnic/BBQ for all the kids borrowing money and their families, on top of a mountain where the broadcast antennae were located.
Along with the food was live entertainment, that year including Vera Lynn. Then they would do several interviews with each entertainer for various news and entertainment shows on their stations. At each interview they would randomly pick a half dozen of the kids to be included so they could remind the listeners/viewers of the public service (good deed) they were doing.
