Honor is the main currency of the Guardia Civil. It must, therefore, kept spotless. Once recovers lost not ever." (Art. 1 of the Rules of Civil Guard) 
La Guardia Civil, on the day of its patron will receive a tribute from many anonymous citizens in all corners of Spain. The tributes, when are institutional protocol and a little cold, not because they genuinely reflect gratitude to the recipient, but because they are mixed other components that change the spirit of the act. However, every year, when the day of Pilar, thousands of citizens who come to the houses the headquarters of the Guardia Civil and spontaneously entertain its members with congratulations, which were filled with pride in recognition of his work. Exceptions
separate men and women of the Institute, the Distinguished Institute, are aware that from the moment you get this three-cornered hat, they will find a life of service to the people, sacrifices, both personal and in some cases family maximum delivery, lost her life in the performance of his duty. Nor fatigue, nor the murderous hand have managed to be left to serve, by contrast, has served on many occasions as an incentive to be more courageous and more stringent enforcement.
From these lines, when expressed as my homage to the civil guards, I would like to pay a small tribute to a key part Institution and often forget they are also a component of it, families. Spain is dotted with houses barracks, where the Institute's professionals living with their family, sharing all the vicissitudes of his life. But also to accompany her father, husband or wife in the transfers, share with them the numerous waivers that are subject to availability and promotion system. Are the return port, the heat that both comforts after a difficult service, hot or cold, under any circumstances. On many occasions in these households are living quiet fears, while the spouse is working in hazardous and worst is that in many cases, fears have been justified and tears have filled the offices of the Headquarters House. In some cases receiving the body of a loved one or other directly receiving the attack of the murderers, who have become men, women and children in their objectives, indiscriminately, as in Zaragoza, Vic or better fortune in Burgos. To these people, these families have to pamper them, the institution must understand it, because if they are like the guards are quiet, do their service without further concerns and much more effectively. Otherwise, a bad situation of their families, despite great professionalism shown, will result negatively on their daily work.
express my sincere support in this body that I think we owe so much.
Viva la Guardia Civil!
