It goes on:

Their popular heroism represents the spirit of dynamically advancing in single-minded unity, breathing the same breath with General Secretary Kim Jong Il and keeping pace with him in his forced march. It also means an expression of the strong determination of the nation to build a thriving socialist nation in the spirit of self-reliance at any cost.

The single-minded unity is not only a symbol of invincibility of Songun Korea but a fundamental source of the strength of all the servicepersons and people to perform heroic feats.

It is the strong resolution of the servicepersons and people of the DPRK to boldly dash ahead toward a final victory with confident pluck and fixed will to build a thriving nation on this land by completing at one go the job done by others by making a thousand tries.

Herculean are the tasks before us but the drive for building a great prosperous and powerful nation is sure to be crowned with victory as long as there are the experienced and tested leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and the heroic fighting spirit of all the servicepersons and people single-mindedly united around the Party and the leader.

The editorial calls upon all the servicepersons and people to give full play to popular heroism in the ongoing general offensive and thus glorify this year as a year of great changes to be specially recorded in the history of building a thriving nation.
