Chairman Kim Jong Il and Kamnamu Company
Pyongyang, November 8 (KCNA) -- Among the Korean People's Army (KPA) units, there is the Kamnamu (persimmon tree) company named by Chairman Kim Jong Il during his long journey for Songun (military-first) leadership.

This women company, located on the east coast of Korea, has been well known to the DPRK people for his loving care.

He visited the company for the first time early in February Juche 84 (1995). That day, he watched the firepower training of women soldiers at the bleak seashore for a long time and went round the education room, dining room, etc. to solve the problems one by one arising in their life.

Later, he sent creams to the company for women soldiers whose faces got chapped by sea wind.

The Chairman visited again the company in November 1997. He heard everything about the deeds done by its soldiers and personally saw persimmons gathered by them.

And he called a daughter of the ex-coast artillery woman who presented a bunch of flowers to President Kim Il Sung visiting the company on March 21, 1972, and had a photo session with her and promised her to meet her parents in the future.

Not forgetting his promise with the woman soldier, he met her parents on his way of field guidance to inform them of the news about their daughter and the company, and put forward this family as a revolutionary servicepersons' family.
