The fall of the Berlin Wall
A few thoughts on the 20th anniversary of the fall of The Berlin Wall.
A salute to all you Cold Warriors who stood vigilant for many years and kept the Bear in check. Perhaps never firing a shot, watching the border in Germany, facing the DMZ in North Korea, patrolling the flight line at SAC bases, piloting U-2s in unfriendly air space, watching the horizon from a cold windy bridge of a Destroyer, monitoring a radar scope in a remote outpost. Resolute but unknown, steadfast but unappreciated, dedicated but unthanked. A shining example of good eventually triumphing over evil.
You did well. You preserved freedom. Be proud.
