The cemetery was completed on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War, thanks to the noble intention and warm loving care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un to hold up the defenders of the country in the 1950s, who performed heroic feats in the sacred war for defending the country upholding the leadership of President Kim Il Sung, invincible and iron-willed commander, and to give an everlasting life to them.

For the past 8 years since the completion of the cemetery, at least 1.78 million of servicepersons, working people, youth and students have visited it to pay homage.

Walking round the cemetery, they refreshed their determination to add glory to the spirit of devotedly defending the leader and country displayed by the service personnel of the People's Army in the fierce flames of the Fatherland Liberation War, keeping deep in their mind the images of heroic soldiers.
