The decree said:

Kim Il Sung was an invincible iron-willed commander and a legendary hero for all ages as he led the FLW to victory to defend the freedom and independence of the country.

He aroused all the service personnel and people to the do-or-die decisive battle against U.S. imperialism through his historic radio speech during the war and put forth original strategies, tactics and war methods in every period and at every stage of the war to overpower the enemies' numerical and technical superiority by political and ideological, strategic and tactical superiority.

He won victory after victory in the acute showdown with imperialism and the U.S. and turned the DPRK into an invincible socialist power independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defence, holding aloft the banner of Juche and Songun for decades since the end of the war.

The Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK confers Order Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Victory in the FLW upon Kim Il Sung, in reflection of the unanimous will and desire of all the service personnel and people, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory in the war.
