Return Blocks and Bricks and Counterama (7) Namerama, COT & Ball of Man.

In 1962 Peter Fechter was shot and eventually died while attempting to run across the barbed wire separation and over the wall dividing East Berlin from the rest of the free world. His became a symbol and cause for the inhumanity of the Communist Party. A memorial was put in place on the West Berlin side of the wall. With his name and the words “he just wanted freedom”

So just before our Ball of Man, we took 18 seconds of silence to remember everyone around the world that will literally die to be free, and for all our men & women who have served in our armed forces (including our own Cottontail) that protect our freedoms.
