Having been there when it was up, watching it fall on TV and visiting a few years afterwards is a pretty cool highlight in our lives.

Remember the Peace Dividend we were all supposed to get from the end of the Cold War? Somehow, all that military spending never found its way into the pockets of everyday Americans.

I heard Woody Harrelson went MIA on the Cheers set when this happened. He said he could not miss this historic event when it was being televised live.

I recall when JFK declared “Ich bin Berliner.” and was thrilled when the wall fell. I really wanted to share the news with my mom but sadly, she had passed the year before.
I was just there, it’s really cool to see the leftovers

I do not get how people who shared common values were divided because of an idea.
They built a wall! Different.

Greatest moment in human history, alongwith the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Communism and Soviet Union died and deservingly so.

I was in Bari, Italy. I was hanging out with some West German kids. They were worried about the East Germans coming into West Germany but were overall positive.Â
