Happy Berlin Wall Day!
We need more holidays that celebrate liberty. The fall of the Berlin Wall is a good a day as you can find.
However, Wikipedia points out that:
Some believe November 9 would have made a good German National Holiday, since November 9 is also the date of the declaration of the Weimar Republic in 1918. However, because it is also the anniversary of Kristallnacht, October 3 was chosen instead.
Which does make it a tad less fun to celebrate.
