Patriotism the Korean people should now cherish and strictly apply to their practice is Kim Jong Il's patriotism.

Kim Jong Il is a peerless patriot who valued and took care of every blade of grass and tree of the country.

He, out of his unshakable creed that strong arms of the revolution preserve the independence and dignity of the country and the nation and guarantee the victory of the revolutionary cause, always found himself on the forefront for defending the country and took the death-defying thorny path for his long journey of Songun leadership.

His forced marches in snowy storms and scorching hot days and at midnight tell about how devotedly he worked for realizing the ideal of building a power.

A new great revolutionary upsurge and the hot wind of the industrial revolution in the new century swept the whole country to lay a solid foundation for building an economic giant and sci-tech power. Monumental edifices were successfully built for the prosperity of the country and happiness of posterity. They were all valuable fruitions of his tireless work.

Wherever one works or whatever one does, if one dedicates himself to the country by cherishing Kim Jong Il's patriotism to tangibly contribute to building a socialist power, that means genuine patriotism.
