It carried a photo of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il standing together, a photo of Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un standing together and a photo of Kim Jong Il.

It said:

The exploits of Chairman of the National Defence Commission Kim Jong Il will be eternally recorded in the history as he smashed the imperialists' aggression, high-handed and arbitrary practices which were rampant in the world and safeguarded peace and security by pursuing the original Songun politics.

He pursued the Songun politics, providing a reliable guarantee for ensuring peace in the Korean Peninsula.

Bearing in mind the immutable truth that the weak military force can neither defend the security of the country and nation nor safeguard peace, he provided his first field guidance for his Songun revolutionary leadership to a guards unit of the Korean People's Army on August 25, 1960.

He made a ceaseless long journey for Songun leadership since then.

He smashed every U.S. military provocation and attempt to invade the DPRK with his matchless pluck and grit, the newspaper said, adding that he fully displayed his personality and qualification as a brilliant commander in the U.S. armed spy ship Pueblo incident, large-sized spy plane EC-121 incident, Panmunjom incident and nuclear crisis in the Korean Peninsula in the 1990s.
