I am reminded of that Berlin airlift which was a lifeline for free Germany, that enabled them to stand up to the Soviet Union with the help of 300,000 American troops over a long period of time, and finally marry up with the captive portion of Germany, East Germany, and become a community again. That was all done because of the strength and the friendship of the United States.
