Close friends Quote by Captain Hank Bracker, The Exciting Story of Cuba

““I can’t say enough about the wonderful people I met in Cuba and feel saddened that they are stuck in the 50’s because of the actions of their politicians as well as ours! I don’t usually get into politics regarding Cuba but I am certain that we should be able to work things out between the two governments. I was born in Germany prior to World War II and can understand how political differences can upset relations between countries. Although I was in the United States during that terrible war, I still lost members of my family during the hostilities! Still, in time, the United States and Germany found a way to reestablish their trading relations and are now close friends. The same holds true for Japan, Italy, Vietnam and countries we have had traditional differences with, such as China and Russia. What is the problem? I certainly don’t harbor any animosities or have hatred towards any of the individual people that live in these countries. I do know that there are those who have developed resentments and somehow justify these feelings; however it’s not the people but rather politically active groups and the governments that cause problems!””
