Rummaging among things and papers were these objects, perhaps insignificant to many, but very important to me and my comrades. For us, "being recruited", going to the "Cuartel" or being a "Milico", for some the "Mili" and for others "Colimba", has a different meaning in terms of values that are very few seen today. in today's Paraguayan society. Common terms and even cheers that we received when we went out into the streets in uniform, hearing phrases like "Hoita karia'y pora oikota nde hegui!!!" (Bravo, soon you will be a good man!!!), "Long live the soldier of the homeland!!!" It was a reason for satisfaction for having fulfilled a duty to the nation...

Hurgando entre cosas y papeles se encontraban estos objetos, quizás insignificantes para muchos, pero muy importantes para mí y mis camaradas. Para nosotros "estar reclutado", ir al "Cuartel" o ser "Milico", para unos la "Mili" y para otros "Colimba", tiene un significado diferente en cuanto a valores muy pocos vistos hoy. en la sociedad paraguaya actual. Términos comunes y hasta vítores que recibimos cuando salíamos a la calle uniformados, escuchando frases como "¡¡¡Hoita karia'y pora oikota nde hegui!!!" (Bravo, pronto serás un buen hombre!!!), "¡¡¡Viva el soldado de la patria!!!" Era un motivo de satisfacción por haber cumplido con un deber para con la nación...
