    Default 25 years ago, the Berlin Wall fell

    It doesn't seem possible that it's been 25 years already.

    Not realy Still remember kennedy (JFK) being shot. Also watching when bobby was shot, as Rosie Grier helped subdue the shooter.

    Yea, it's been a long time.

    When we heard that the wall fell, me and a couple of friends drove to berlin from Paris. It was a great event but it was also a pretty wild party! Eastern german girls felt... liberated.

    Scuttlebutt around base was that the wall was going to come down that night. I thought they were pulling my leg- but we knew hours before the news services did. After I got off my day shift, I went out to Checkpoint Charlie and then the Brandenburg Gate and watched the world's biggest party unwind. I've never been hugged or kissed by so many strangers!
