Reply With QuoteI was in Iserlohn, West Germany.
So, where were you the night wall came down?
I remember sitting in my living room in government quarters at FT Lee Virginia. I was drinking a beer and reading a book. I put down the book and kept drinking the beer. I was transfixed by CNN. I think I stayed up to about 0300.
I rushed home from work each day to put on the TV and see what the latest news was fopr about 2 weeks after that.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is to know to not use it in a fruit salad.

I had left the army that year. Spend about 17 yrs in Germany and they wait until I leave to pull it down.
i was only 4 years old and don't remember it, but according to my parents when everybody was running aroud shouting "The wall is gone, the wall is gone!" my reaction was: "it wasn't me!!"
uh I might be wrong

I was on active duty as an instructor pilot. I remember having several powerful thoughts... "I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime; a miracle" and "We apparently have no enemy now - we have won the cold war. What will become of our armed forces, and how will this shape policy?"
Finally, I thought "The reunification of Germany will be a task of herculean proportions" and I honestly thought it would be a social and economic disaster. The Germans proved that notion wrong.
