Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, August 18 (KCNA) -- The famous work of leader Kim Jong Il "Let Us Become True Patriots Who Love the Country and the People" published on Aug. 15, Juche 74 (1985) fully reflected his strong will to accomplish the Juche revolutionary cause of Juche by carrying forward the tradition of ardent patriotism created in the crucible of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle and served as a militant banner to be held fast to by the Korean People's Army and the people in the general march for building a great prosperous powerful nation. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article. It goes on: In the work Kim Jong Il said that patriotism is associated with loyalty to President Kim Il Sung and loyalty to the Party and the leader means most ardent patriotism. He added that one should not respond to the call of the country and the people in words only but through practical action and "Look at my worksite, my machine and my products if you wish to understand what I think" should be a slogan to be shouted by the patriots in our era from the bottom of their hearts.
    Over the last two decades since the publication of this work the servicepersons and people have worked uninterrupted miracles and innovations in the revolution and construction, bearing deep in mind the truth of patriotism taught by Kim Jong Il and achieved great victory in defending socialism and made a breakthrough towards building a great prosperous powerful nation under his Songun leadership. The Korean revolution remains more glorious as it is a patriotic struggle that has been guided by Juche up to this date since its very start. Thanks to the banner of Juche, the Korean people could win brilliant victory in the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle and the Fatherland Liberation War and achieve great successes in the socialist revolution and construction. Our country has demonstrated its might as a political and military power and invincible socialist bulwark because the whole country is pervaded with the Juche-oriented faith, which calls for meeting the requirements of Juche in ideology, technology and culture and living our own way, under the leadership of the Party and the leader.
    Our country is demonstrating its might as an invincible power with tremendous self-reliant deterrent thanks to the Songun idea of Kim Jong Il. This reality goes to prove what great patriotism the Songun idea of Juche is.
