This day helped give a steady continuity to the history of the Korean revolution that attaches importance to the army and the tradition of victory, put the dignity and power of the revolutionary Paektusan nation on the highest level and make the socialist cause dynamically advance along its orbit, overcoming all storms and difficulties, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:

The Korean people have enjoyed an independent life without war for decades and the peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the rest of the world have been firmly defended. This would be unthinkable apart from the Day of Songun.

The great Comrade Kim Jong Il was the distinguished leader and peerlessly elder statesman who recorded the immortal revolutionary history under the unfurled banner of Songun for over half a century.

He formulated and systematized the Songun revolutionary idea and created the original Songun political mode. This is the feat to be recorded in human history which provided the immortal banner for the triumphant advance of the cause of the Juche revolution and the cause of independence against imperialism.

As the Korean people have held him in the van of the Songun revolution, the lifeline of the powerful Paektusan nation has been given a steady continuity, the worldwide example was created in realizing the cause of immortality of the leader and the invincibility of Korean-style socialism has been powerfully demonstrated. The political and ideological power, matchless military power, the youth power without an equal in the world, great army-people unity and the solid economic and cultural foundation for the building of a thriving nation are the noble fruition of his Songun revolutionary leadership.

Minju Joson says the history of his Songun revolution is being given a steady continuity thanks to Marshal Kim Jong Un, calling upon all service personnel and other people to dynamically advance to bring earlier the victory of the cause of the Juche revolution and the cause of the Songun revolution, rallied close around him.
