Gregorio del Pilar – The general has given me the pick
➢ Gregorio del Pilar – The general has given me the pick of all the men that can be spared and ordered me to defend the pass. I realize what a terrible task is given me. And yet I feel that this is the most glorious moment of my life. What I do is done for my beloved country. No sacrifice can be too great.”
– quote of Gregorio del Pilar,
