A TRUE SWEETHEART – AT 10:15 A.M. ET:  Katherine Jenkins is the "sweetheart" of the British armed forces.  That's an informal title, held in World War II by the legendary Vera Lynn, whose renditions of songs like "We'll Meet Again" became revered symbols of the war effort.   

One role of the "sweetheart" is to travel around and entertain British troops.  Katherine Jenkins, who is an outstanding, classically trained vocalist, was on a plane a few days ago, ready for a long trip to Afghanistan.  But the plane was grounded by weather.  So, what did she do?  She got up and performed "Silent Night," a cappella.  It was taped.  I think you'll enjoy this.  It's here.
