The veterans made contributions to winning the war (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) against the U.S. imperialists boasting themselves of the world's "strongest", by displaying the spirit of devotedly defending the leader and the fatherland under the wise command of Generalissimo Kim Il Sung.

With a strong sense of moral obligation, Generalissimo Kim Jong Il took care of them as the second generation of the Korean revolution and revolutionary forerunners.

Young people in the DPRK have deeply respected and looked after the war veterans, true to the intention of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

This time, Kim Jong Un took a measure to significantly organize the celebrations in such a way as glorifying their precious feats and fighting spirit for all ages.

In response to his measure, local party, government and social bodies have made with sincerity the preparations for the participation of those selected as delegates to the celebrations.

With days ahead of the celebrations, the capital city of Pyongyang is now seized with festive mood to welcome the war veterans who devotedly fought for the freedom of the country and happiness of the people.
