The revolutionary and militant spirit in which the People's Army carries out any task at a go despite difficulties and trials serves as a driving force for making leaping progress in the country, the editorial notes, and goes on:

This year, too, the service personnel have fully demonstrated the might as masters of creation and army of the people in major projects under the slogan "Let's help the people!"

Changjon Street, Rungna People's Pleasure Park and other monumental edifices are closely associated with the soldiers' ardent love for the country and people and extraordinary creative ingenuity.

They completed in a matter of five days the huge operation to recover the area of the Joyang Coal Mine from flood damage and successfully finished the project for face-lifting Hapjang River in a matter of seven days. These were miracles worked thanks to the soldiers' spirit, mettle and work style.

The Workers' Party of Korea calls for intensifying the work to learn from the fighting spirit and work style of the KPA so as to give momentum to the militant atmosphere and achieve greater successes in all fields.

Officials and working people are greatly inspired by the fighting spirit and work style displayed by service personnel at major construction sites.

Wherever they work is alive with the elated revolutionary enthusiasm and militant spirit.

They do not allow any slightest manifestation of passivism, conservatism, stagnation, standstill and myth about technology. Prevalent there are prowess, activeness and popular heroism with which they are dashing ahead toward a final victory, believing in their own strength.

This mettle and fighting spirit are essential for the Korean people at present.
