"Not Forgotten", featuring Dame Vera Lynn and 1940s singing duo The Swingtime Sweethearts, is helping to raise much needed funds for two well deserving charities - all proceeds from the song are being divided between the Not Forgotten Association for Ex-Service and Currently-Serving War Disabled, and The Dame Vera Lynn Trust for Children With Cerebral Palsy.

The song is released on December 3rd 2009, and will be launched at the Annual NFA Christmas Party at St.James' Palace London.

"In my lifetime, our world has been shaped by two all consuming wars. World War I was dubbed the war to end all wars, and World War II was the most destructive war in history.

"It seems that hardly a year, or even a day, has gone by where we have not been involved in some form of conflict. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends.

"I have witnessed the pain, anguish, and sacrifice, that is made by so many people; be it families and loved ones at home or our young men and women on active service in the jungles of Bhurma or in the arid landscape of Afganistan.

"The children of the past have paved the way for the children of the future and we should always remember the sacrifices made by others for us in the past. We have given the gift of memories, happy, sad, reflective, the joy of a child, the despair of losing someone you love.

"So our legacy is to remember, and for children of future generations to remember."

Dame Vera Lynn (October 2009)
