In Memoriam: Vaclav Havel

A great Czech leader just passed away yesterday. Leader of the Velvet Revolution that brought down the communist regime in 1989, the first democratically elected president of the Czech Republic and a symbol of a free and democratic Czech Republic. Vaclav Havel now lives in the heart of all of us.
