Kim Jong Il's patriotism represents his ardent love for the country and the nation, total dedication to national reunification and happiness of the Koreans and indomitable spirit of carving out a new history of Korea as a reunified power by weathering any difficulties.

He was a peerless patriot who performed immortal exploits for national reunification by dedicating all his life to the sacred patriotic cause for the country and the nation.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is fully reflected in the glorious history of his revolutionary leadership as he successfully led the cause of independent reunification with his immensely noble idea of patriotism.

He regarded the destiny of the country and the nation as more important than any idea and ism. This noble patriotic spirit gave birth to the June 15 era of reunification when the Koreans are working hard to achieve independent reunification, peace and prosperity by their concerted efforts.

Strong national self-esteem and the Korean nation-first spirit that run through Kim Jong Il's patriotism serve as a mental engine for preserving the independent character of the movement for national reunification and achieving it by concerted efforts of the Koreans.

The idea of "By our nation itself" and the landmark achievements made in the June 15 era of reunification thanks to Kim Jong Il's ardent love for the country and the nation eloquently prove that Kim Jong Il's patriotism serves as a powerful mental weapon for achieving and consolidating the unity of the whole nation.

Only when all the Koreans bear Kim Jong Il's patriotism deep in their minds, can they boldly come out for national reunification even at the risk of their lives and make a tangible contribution to the cause of national reunification with those with strength dedicating their strength, those with knowledge devoting their knowledge and those with money donating money.
