A Day to Remember

I remember this day twenty years ago. I had lived my whole life up to that point only knowing East and West Germany. History class in high school on European history, we talked about the Berlin Wall and how in a split second whole families were separated, and how people lost their lives trying to escape. It was weighty stuff.

It gives me chills to watch this video and remember the details. Remembering Reagans's words and influential actions that pushed Communism over the edge. Remembering Kennedy's words espousing Democracy and how it's not perfect but it sure is a great thing.

Today we remember those who have lost family member's in that conflict, sacrificed, died, and suffered in constant state of being imprisoned in their own city. You have much to celebrate to day. Twenty years of freedom!

Let's not forget the high cost of freedom. Let's not squander freedom, let's celebrate it when we see it, and squelch it when we see it trampled on.
