"When the Iron Curtain was lifted, the wall fell in Berlin, in their places grew democracy, a democracy that you’ve deserved for a long time. Across Europe, a new sense of possibility took hold, galvanizing the region, uplifting a continent, and literally inspiring the world. The story of freedom –- your story -- is one of the greatest achievements in modern history. And it’s important that we celebrate that remarkable -- that remarkable moment. It’s also important that we remember how far Central Europe has come in the last 20 years."
