“The most important thing for me is the opportunity to know about this Revolution, that is why I wish it could last and be with me and all human beings for the rest of my life, devoted to have a better world, where our children could live.
Clark said he has had a long relation with this Caribbean nation, because he came to Cuba when he was 5 years old, when his family traveled to get rid of the desperation they were, due to the death of his older brother Tommy.
He said the firstborn of the Clarks died of meningitis; an illness which years later, placed Cuba among the first ones to find a vaccine, a demonstration of what the Revolution has done in the health field.
Ramsey returned to Cuba in 1946 at the age of 18, when he was discharged from the Navy of the United States (U.S.) and he knew about the Cuban people‘s reality by then, when the Island was turned into a place of games, prostitution and organized crime of the U.S.
When he studied history, he could better understand that reality and why of the revolutionary struggle that ended with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, which he considers the greatest of all the times.
“During Kennedy’s administration, he said, I was an assistanT of the General Attorney of the U.S. and some months later I witnessed the invasion to Playa Giron (Bay of Pigs). I wrote a note to the President of the U.S. saying that the best people sometimes take bad decisions and they are left in history.
“I paid a price for this note, some days later, my supervisor, who was also my chief, called me and told me: Ramsey you are not going to continue working here. I knew the CIA was behind that. It caused me a lot of problems for several years. I constantly had to change my job.
“The Cuban Revolution, he said, has saved many lives with its health work. In Angola too by the 1980s, when South Africa decided to invade this country, and that is why I tell you that many people in the world owe you have given them an important gift, a great revolution which is still going ahead.
