They are unanimous in saying that the future of Songun Korea will be rosier under his guidance.

Pak Kwang Chol, a section chief of the Academy of Agricultural Science, told KCNA:

"The conferment was what all the people had desired so ardently.

Kim Jong Un is fully possessed of distinguished disposition, qualification and personality on the highest level as a gifted illustrious commander. He was always together with leader Kim Jong Il in his inspection tours of military units and has led the Korean People's Army with superb strategy and commanding art.

He has decisively frustrated every anti-DPRK move of the imperialists with the same strong faith, will and grit as Kim Jong Il had.

Thanks to his wise guidance, the sovereignty of socialist Korea and the security of the people are reliably defended and the DPRK is fully displaying its dignity and might as an invincible military power."

Song Jong Ho, chief engineer of the Osan Co-op Farm in Jongju City, North Phyongan Province, said:

"Vivid in my memory is the venerable image of the dear respected Kim Jong Un who inspected the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the KPA on the New Year's Day.

He has continued inspection tours of military units for the national prosperity and people's eternal happiness.

The future of Kim Il Sung's nation and Kim Jong Il's Korea will be always crowned with victory and glory as Marshal Kim Jong Un leads the Korean revolution and there is the strong army intensely loyal to his command."
