Tear Down This Wall!

Introduction:  In the summer of 1987, President Ronald Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and demanded of his Soviet counterpart, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”  Within two short years that massive wall that had separated east and west Germany since 1961 was torn down by citizens on both sides of the wall.  Today, we are going to look at an even greater barrier that has been removed forever.
