What Overseas Koreans Say about Military Parade Held on Army Day
Pyongyang, April 26 (KCNA) -- Overseas Koreans were deeply impressed by the might of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK grown to be invincible under the care of the illustrious commanders of Mt. Paektu, when watching the military parade held to celebrate the 75th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army.
Nam Sung U, vice-chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), said he felt highly honored and proud to be a member of the Korean nation while watching the columns of the participants in the military parade marching in fine array. They strikingly demonstrated the spirit and might of the invincible heroic KPA, he noted, and continued:
President Kim Il Sung, upon embarking on the road of revolution in his early years, founded the Juche-oriented revolutionary armed forces, and thus liberated Korea and provided a powerful military guarantee for carving out the destiny of the nation independently.
The army and people of the DPRK under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il have registered great successes, frustrating the moves of the imperialists to stifle it by holding aloft the banner of socialism.
The columns of admirable paraders of the KPA standing firm guard over the sky, land and sea of the country whom I have seen reinforced my conviction that Korean-style socialism is sure to triumph and heightened the honor and pride of being an overseas citizen of the homeland of Juche.
Only victory and glory are in store for our country dynamically advancing with the might of the single-minded unity under the banner of Songun, with Kim Jong Il at the helm of the revolution.
Yang Yong Dong, chairman of the General Association of Koreans in China, noted that words fail to express his immense joy at seeing Kim Jong Il whom he has always revered.
He went on:
One could read on the faces of the participants in the military parade dynamically marching past the tribune of honor while shouting "Hurrah!" for Kim Jong Il the firm faith and will to remain true to his leadership.
It is thanks to this strong army that the country remains so powerful and no enemy dares encroach upon even a blade of its grass and single tree.
The KPA reliably standing guard over the country has admirably discharged its mission as a main force of the revolution in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
The Koreans in China will make a tangible contribution to the prosperity of the country and the cause of reunification, true to the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
Kwon Kyong Ae, chairperson of the Kanagawa Prefectural Headquarters of the Union of Democratic Korean Women in Japan, had this to say:
The military parade clearly showed the true appearance of our army and people single-mindedly united around the great Songun brilliant commander.
While watching the columns of paraders marching in fine array, I keenly realized how great the Songun policy pursued by Kim Jong Il is.
It is the great honor and pride for the Korean nation to have the Songun policy and the single-minded unity.
Our motherland is a great country demonstrating its dignity and might to the world with the might of the Songun policy and the single-minded unity.
Ri Ryong Su, chairman of the Nishi Tokyo Headquarters of Chongryon, noted that the military parade was magnificent, indeed, adding:
Watching the parade, I keenly realized the profound trust of our army and people in Kim Jong Il.
It is the great honor for the Korean nation to have Kim Jong Il at the helm of the revolution, who is identical to Kim Il Sung.
Our motherland will prosper forever as an invulnerable fortress as it has the powerful revolutionary armed forces led by Kim Jong Il.
