Hi Sig,

I haven't followed news reports in the media for the past couple of weeks so I don't know how his death and funeral were covered. In any case many Germans are grateful to him for contributing to the fall of the Wall. Thanks to Karen for digging up his famous Berlin speech: #reply-19433118

Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate June 12, 1987

Here are two pictures of that event:

Some time after the speech Reagan had a chance to peek through the Wall with Nancy:
