Almost overnight in Berlin, the city is cut-off as construction begins on what is to become known as the Berlin Wall.
Today, 51 years later, we do not celebrate the construction but remember that day and all the 10,315 days until the wall fell on November 9, 1989.
We remember those that lived with the wall as a sore that snaked through the wonderful city of Berlin, those that died trying to get to Freedom, those that were unable to even contemplate escape, and especially those that Defended the Freedom of the city of West Berlin.
