German Unification Day
Happy German Unification Day! I am sure all of you have this holiday marked on your calender. If not, you should! On this day, in 1991, East and West Germany became united once again after the fall of the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe when communisim collapsed. For many Germans, this is still a very emotional day. It was not that long ago when their country was divided and thus many families were separated. This day is set aside for all Germans to stop and reflect on their now united country and the freedoms that they are all able to have. As Americans, we see this holiday differently, it reminds us of how thankful we are for our homeland and the freedoms that we have always been able to enjoy. So with a day off from school, we sit here in our home with pouring rain outside, and take a momement to reflect on the blessings that God has given to us.
Happy German Unification Day everyone!
Happy German Unification Day everyone!
