On June, 26th 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin, but he didn’t come alone, he brought General Lucius D.Clay with him, the hero of the Berlin airlift.

After there tour throughout the city, seeing also the Berlin Wall, JFK finally arrived at the`Rathaus Schöneberg´ were he held his famous speech(full length). I was a young boy, but my Dad took me there with him. And I still remember Kennedys words when he said: "Ich bin ein Berliner".

At You Tube you can find the speech with Italian, Spanish and Portuguese sub-titles.
