The girls strut their tight harmonies with an Andrews Sisters medley--12 songs!--that's a wowser. And they escalate into feeling with I'll Be Seeing You. This gorgeous rendition works as a reminder of what the boys were fighting for, and what any struggle--war in the '40s, AIDS in the '90s--means to the combatants: pain and loss, and a sweet, frail hope...
