José Félix Estigarribia

“Our breasts are walls when the clarion with its sound summons us to battle to defend the nation. The proceres bequeathed us this sovereign soil, the Paraguayan flag will not fall from our hands, the Chaco is sacred soil, each soldier swears it and the invader suffers it.”

“I have the impression that the Government, as always, hoping for peace does not desire to necessary make the sacrifice (the purchase of trucks) and consequently we shall waste the new victory obtained as we have partly wasted the previous one (Campo Via).”

“This will be the war of thirst and I will drink to victory.”
