Where were you 20 years ago when the Berlin wall came down?

What a keepsake you have. The time that event took place, I was in

front of the TV set, watching President Reagan tell, the leader of

West or was it East Germany, "Mr Gorbachev, tear down that wall".

That day held alot of promise for those people. Families long separated

were looking forward to rejoining again. After countless years of being

apart. What a joyess reunion they all must have had. And feeling free

for the first time, must have been almost breathtaking for so many..

I can imagine how emotional everyone present that day, felt. I don't

recall people crying, only looks of jubilation. I couldn't help but feel

that heart rendering moment, when sledge hammers began to do

their work, until finally a hole appeared and then more of the wall

fell away. The wide grins on so many was captured on film that day.

We here in the states, couldn't help but feel the emotion and felt

so glad for them. It's hard to believe, it's been 20 years since we

saw that happen. Time passes almost like an instant. And we grow

from a sniveling child, to an adult, and then one day, we are old and

feeble. So having lived long enough to experience some of the

wonders in the worlds' history, makes those of us who've lived to see

them, feeling very fortunate. For we can tell our children, that we

witnessed so many things, by way of the television, if not in real life.

And still lived to tell of what we saw and felt during those times. So

many historic moments did happen during my life. And I'm glad that

there is the internet to take me back to whatever point in time, I

wish to return to. To recapture the feelings I felt back when. And to

refresh my memory even further. That was just one world event I have

seen. And I'm sure I'll witness even more before I'm gone.

Berlin is just a vivant, passionately and addictive town, a town that's only great for invest the vacation. Learn more with hotelbye . In Berlin you'll only enjoy their famous sights, their great swathes of natural, its sky bars and fashionable restaurants. Berlin is a significant center of politics, culture, press, and science. Observed for its national flair, Berlin is home to the world famous Berlin Opera and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, while their varied artwork scene encompasses countless galleries, functions, and museums, including those centred on Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But, nothing claims Berlin just like the Brandenburg Gate, long the city's most defining monument and its reply to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Brandenburg Gate was created for King Frederick Wilhelm II in 1791 and today durante times remain an important symbol with several famous visitors like: Statement Clinton and Barack Obama.

Well, after all, EVERYTHING is about OBAMA. In fact it was his miraculous birth that gave President Reagan the impetus to demand that the wall be torn down. As for mentioning Kennedy's involvement, he's giving ole Teddy a posthumous reach around as payment for getting him elected.

Believe it or not I was on vacation in Germany with my sister and her German boyfriend (soon to be husband) and we gathered at the wall together with pickaxes and chisels from his mother's tool shed and helped destroy the wall. I awoke the next morning in an East Berlin hotel with my sister and her boyfriend, walked around the neighborhood and was amazed at how different it looked compared to the West.

I remember being in my store and getting a phone call from my younger brother, telling me to turn on the TV. I couldn't believe my eyes. Later I bought brick from the wall. My son now has it and it made it thru all the show and tells at schools.

I was enjoying my 51st birthday and when I heard about the Berlin wall being torn down, I thought it was the nicest gift I had ever gotten.

I was 44 and glued to the T.V. It was wonderful to be alive And to see the wall come down. I was very happy for the people over there.

Watching the news about this memorable event. I was 35 at the time.

i was working full time at one hospital, private duty at another, two days a week at a nursing home and raising a son and a daughter, i caught it on the news during headstart homework..the regan years were busy times.

Working on the farm. But I don't remember seeing it on TV, though I do remember reading about it in the newspaper.
