East Germany Opens the Berlin Wall
My wife and I have followed the events in Berlin. When the “crossing” was announced, tears formed in my eyes. I was dramatically reminded of our country’s freedom.
A generation of Germans was permitted to experience what we, as Americans, can take for granted. We visited East and West Berlin a few years ago. To see the city, the wall, and the Brandenburg Gate from both sides was sobering.
The wall is now breached! Surely it must give genuine happiness for Americans to know that native Berliners are now granted the privilege of visiting a part of their own city.
