Hwangbo Su Hyon (43), father of Hwangbo Song (11), a delegate to the celebrations, told KCNA:

"I am a special-class disabled soldier. My family has enjoyed benefits from the Party and the State.

And, this time my daughter, Song, was appointed a KCU delegate. I can hardly express my feelings now. Such loving care will become a memory to be shared by my family through generations."

Kim Myong Gwang (13), a student at Koryo Secondary School, said in tears:

"I am not an orphan for I regard the dear respected Kim Jong Un as my own father."

An officer of the Korean People's Army, Kim Chol Ung, father of Kim Ung (10), a pupil at Manwol Primary School, said:

"Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un inspected the military outpost in Panmunjom I was standing guard in March this year and showed deep trust in our service personnel.

And, my son is to go to Pyongyang as a KCU delegate to the celebrations. Now I feel my family has got all blessings."

Farmers Ri Wan Song and Kim Pong Sil, father and mother of Ri Jin Du (11), a student at Panmunjom Secondary School, said that they would work harder to boost grain output, inspired by their son's appointment as a delegate.
