The most memorable speech of the Cold War, it bolstered the morale of West Berliners and steeled the resolve of the West not to lose another square inch of territory to Communist tyranny. In November, the Germanna Foundation joined with friends around the world to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. An account of the Germanna Foundation event is located at http://www.germanna.org/node/277
