ICH BIN EIN BERLINER

Thank you for posting the speech. I wouldn't have thought of the anniversary this year. It was a great event in the history of Berlin, and the speech is rated #22 of the top 100 American speeches of the 20th century:

It is documented at The History Place,

at the National Archives and Records Administration with a picture of JFK's speech card

and at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library with a full length Real Audio recording:

I would probably not be able to post this message to this board without all the support of the USA for Germany. Beating the Hitler regime, maintaining the Berlin airlift while Stalin tried to suffocate the city and being a reliable leader of the western hemisphere for decades were essential for the development of the first stable German democracy.

Here are a couple of airlift links:
airlift.de
semmer.de
members.nbci.com
dailysoft.com
berlin.de

Actually I attended the 50-year airlift anniversary celebration in May 1998, one of several hundred thousand visitors. I saw the "Spirit of Berlin" which had just been baptized by Clinton - and had the first doughnuts of my life. My key ring has an airlift picture, and a Douglas DC-3 model is on my desk.

And where's the munnee in this message? No munnee without freedom.

Thank you, America.
