Freedom Week – Nov. 9-13th

UWEC College Republicans celebrate the 20th anniversary of the

collapse of the Berlin Wall and honor Veterans Day.

Eau Claire, WI --- The UWEC College Republicans are hosting Freedom Week on the UWEC Campus. Monday marks the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the liberation of people from communist regimes all over Europe. This Wednesday, we will also celebrate Veterans Day to honor and remember all those who have served to keep our nation safe.

“During this week, it is imperative that we commemorate freedom throughout the world, and remember those who have fought to preserve that freedom”, said UW-Eau Claire College Republican Chairman Bobby Hamill. With the support of the Young America’s Foundation, the UWEC College Republicans will host numerous events throughout the week in order to celebrate our freedom. These will include:

Monday, November 9th:
To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, there will be a mock Berlin Wall on the campus mall which will be knocked down at 3pm, the same time the Berlin Wall fell 20 years earlier.

Tuesday, November 10th:
At 6:30pm in the Tamarack Room in Davies Center, there will be a panel discussion of the fall of the Berlin Wall and its impact on the world, featuring Dr. Paulis Lazda (History Dept.), Dr. Steven Majstorovic (Political Science Dept.) and Mr. Thomas Mihajlov (Economics Dept.)

Wednesday, November 11th:
To honor Veterans Day, the UWEC College Republicans and the UWEC College Democrats will be on the campus mall from 11am-2pm to distribute yellow ribbons to honor those who have served in the military.

Thursday, November 12th:
At 7pm in SSS100, the College Republicans and the Chippewa Falls High School Teenage Republicans will have a screening of the movie “In the Face of Evil: Reagan’s War in Word and Deed” which chronicles the battles President Reagan fought to keep America free from the tyrannies of Communism.

All events are free and open to the public.

“With the Obama administration routinely pushing for more centralized control, students need to be reminded of the repeated failures of collectivist ideas.”--Patrick X. Coyle Jr., Director of Campus Programs—Young America’s Foundation. “This weeks gives students the opportunity to learn about the failed history of communism as well as honor those men and women who have fought to keep our nation free from such threats.”, added Hamill.
