The conferment is an expression of the servicepersons and civilians' admiration for the great feats he has performed by always leading the KPA to victory with treasured sword of Songun (military-first).

We, servicepersons, will prepare ourselves to be a dependable vanguard of the Songun revolution guaranteeing the cause of the Workers' Party of Korea with arms, under the guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un."

"Marshal Kim Jong Un is an illustrious Songun commander of Mt. Paektu who is creditably carrying forward the revolutionary cause of Songun pioneered and led by the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

This cause of Juche will be further accelerated by the strong army guided by him."

A soldier, Han Sun Nyo, stressed that the KPA, led by Marshal Kim Jong Un with rare wisdom and matchless gut, would always emerge victorious in showdown with the imperialists.
