For our fellow countrymen, February 16 when the bright star of Mt. Paektu rose is the day of a great jubilee as it firmly promised a bright future of Kim Il Sung's nation that will be blessed with illustrious leaders generation after generation, the letter said.

Kim Jong Il, who was born in Mt. Paektu, the holy mountain of revolution, and grew up, nurturing the patriotic soul, steered the country and the nation, the era and history with his extraordinary wisdom, outstanding leadership ability and bold actions in the grimmest yet glorious years and performed undying feats, it noted.

The letter said that his lifelong patriotic cause is being successfully carried forward by Marshal Kim Jong Un, who fully inherited the bloodline of Mt. Paektu.

The successful 3rd underground nuclear test conducted by the DPRK to cope with the U.S. hostile actions is the brilliant fruition of the extraordinary stratagem, resolute pluck and distinguished leadership ability of you who are firmly defending the dignity and sovereignty of the country and nation despite any storm and stress, it said, and went on:

The revolutionary cause of Juche and the cause of building a reunified thriving country are sure to triumph thanks to you who enjoy absolute respect and praise from all people for having brought about epochal changes and miracles with your invincible political caliber and outstanding leadership ability.

All the vanguard fighters of the AINDF will join the patriotic people from all walks of life in raising strong voices in support and solidarity for the Songun cause in the north and turn out as one in the sacred war for justice to resolutely check and frustrate the moves of the U.S. and its allies to escalate confrontation with the DPRK and thus bring a peaceful, prosperous and reunified country without fail.
