The Only Solution To The Issue Of

Everything I Did, All My Actions, All Of The Problems I Had I Dedicate To God And To Chile, Because I Kept Chile From Becoming Communist.

We Have No Political Prisons. We Have Political Internal Exiles.

I Have Lived With My Conscience And My Own Memories For Over Quarter Of A Century Since The Events Of 1973. These Are Not Easy Reflections For Me. But I Am At Peace With Myself, And With The Chilean People, About What Happened. I Am Clear In My Mind That The Return To Chile Of True Democracy, And From That The True Freedom To Which All Individual People Are Entitled, Could Not Have Been Achieved Without The Removal Of The Marxist Government.

I Will Die. The Person Who Succeeds Me Will Also Have To Die. But Elections, You Won't Have.

During 65 Years, I Have Walked The Path Of Duty And Discipline... And Today, Looking Back At That Long Path Of Service, My Soldier's Heart Stirs And Murmurs From Deep Within: Thank You. Thank You, My Homeland.
