But the Reds have not penetrated West Berlin. nor have they shaken the resolve of its citizens to remain where they are. deep behind the Iron Curtain. a shining symbol of freedom. Despite the raising of the wall of shame. separating East and West Berlin into two armed camps. some 11.000 have escaped from behind the Iron Curtain and are enjoying freedom today. Those who are "voting with their feet" in Berlin today. despite the murders at the wall. the shootings. the brutal attempts to halt these refugees. are an example for all the world to see. This flight to freedom at the risk of life itself is a lesson we must remember. that freedom is worth dying for. fighting for. struggling for. despite the odds and despite attempts to stifle it under the blanket of regimentation. Thankfully. our gallant allies are with us In this stand.
