Used to have a little tiny chunk of the wall but it got lost when we moved!
That's a good piece of history, i like

Nice chunk
A little trivia for you.
The concrete from the Berlin Wall has a very distinctive look. The treasured chunks of the wall have paint on them. Spray painted graffiti from the western side of the wall.

I was at checkpoint Charlie in 1971, but couldn't touch the wall, much less get a piece of it. 😆

I was stationed down in Bavaria, early 1990. We drove up to Berlin, two vehicles, a bunch friends/DoD civilians.
We got there, there were a few dozen holes knocked thru the wall by bulldozers! Hundreds of people were walking back and forth thru the wall, from east to west.
My friends were afraid to walk into the eastern sector! 🤣 They refused to walk into East Germany!! 🤣 🤣 They were scared to death!!! LoL!!! Myself and one other guy walked thru the wall and walked around East Germany for about an hour!! LoL!! 🤣 😉 And then we ran back into the west!! 🤣 LoL!
