He saw to it that alma maters of the heroes who dedicated their youth in their twenties and thirties to the country were renamed after them and their busts were erected there so that the whole country might learn from their spiritual world. Tens of thousands of heroes and men of meritorious service were produced in the era of Songun under his loving care.

The DPRK has turned into a large harmonious family in which all its members help each other and lead each other forward. People do not hesitate to donate their blood and flesh to their revolutionary comrades and take care of war veterans, disabled honored soldiers and orphans as their kith and kin in the noble spirit of "One for all and all for one!" This is a product of the Workers' Party of Korea's politics of love for the country and its people.

The revolutionary military songs sung by the State Merited Chorus during the Arduous March resounded far and wide as a sound of bugle for advance in the times.

Art performances given by service members and military families, concerts by the Unhasu Orchestra, light comedy "An Echo among the Hills", drama "We Will Recollect Today", etc. instilled ardent patriotism into all service members and people.
