It's the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Some people remember the JFK assassination, some people remember when Martin Luther King was assassinated and when the Apollo mission landed on the moon. I was a little late to this world for all of those things.  For me, the Berlin Wall coming down is the first big world event I remember clearly and whose significance I really understood (other than a presidential election... I remember learning about the election process with Bush v. Dukakis in '88).
