Our Heroes and Tribute Memorial board is designed to give acknowledgement, biographies, photos and other submissions from visitors locally and nationally.

History often discusses dates and political actions such as military engagements and treaties. We would like to share the humanitarian side of the Berlin Wall and the Cold War. During the 3 decades of this conflict, it didn’t matter where you were in the world it was a matter of when not if you as a citizen of the Earth would be affected.
