Motto Honor or Death

The motto "Honor or Death" has been a historical and powerful slogan symbolizing the spirit of bravery, determination, and patriotism in various contexts throughout history. In the case of Vallejar, this motto became a symbol during the War of Independence (1818-1829). It represented the willingness of the Vallejarians to fight to the end for their freedom and sovereignty, showing that they preferred to die with honor rather than live under foreign oppression. It was an expression of the courage and commitment of the Vallejarian people in their struggle for independence. This motto captured the indomitable spirit of the population during a crucial period in Vallejar's history.

During the various peace negotiations for Vallejar's independence, the motto "Honor or Death" became a unifying cry. Whenever peace treaties with conditions considered unacceptable were presented, the Vallejarian people's response was a resolute "Honor or Death." This reflected their determination not to accept humiliating or inadequate terms and their willingness to fight to the end for their freedom and sovereignty. The motto became a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the population in their quest for independence.
