Here's the Berlin Wall picture I said I'd bring back from our visit to the Reagan Library. Alongside is an excerpt from Reagan's speech at the Wall. The prediction came true 881 days later.
As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: "This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality." Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
President Ronald Reagan
