We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our purpose? I will say; "It is to wage a war on the field, by every means necessary, through the air, the midfield, the attack with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against Guatemala's attack. That is our purpose." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival."
"...We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the Savannah and in Panama and Mexico; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength . We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight with all we have, battling them for possession, for goals, and in the attack. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, our WARRIORS, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the WORLD CUP IN GERMANY."
