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

   Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) -- The Korean People's Army will always demonstrate its dignity as the revolutionary army of the three generals of Mt. Paektu and the ever-victorious history of the Juche-oriented revolution which advances with the army in the van under the experienced and seasoned leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea will steadily move ahead, says Rodong Sinmun today.
    Noting that the 75 year-long history of the KPA is a glorious one in which it has demonstrated its might as a powerful main force of the Juche-oriented revolution under the Songun leadership of the generals of Mt. Paektu, the daily goes on:
    President Kim Il Sung is a peerlessly great man who gave origin to Songun and indicated a unique way of building revolutionary armed forces under its banner.
    The victorious and glorious path covered by the KPA is closely associated with the immortal feats performed by Anti-Japanese War Hero General Kim Jong Suk who devoted her all to the Juche-oriented cause of building the army.
    The KPA has greeted its golden days in its development thanks to the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il, illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu.
    Kim Jong Il has given steady continuity to the tradition of Songun and made ceaseless long journeys for Songun in the period of turning-point in the Korean revolution, building an invincible socialist military power which no formidable enemy dare provoke. This is the greatest feat he has performed on behalf of the country and the revolution.
    The KPA is the army strong in ideology and faith as all its servicepersons are intensely loyal to the Supreme Commander, the ever-victorious strongest army capable of doing anything in confrontation with enemies and in socialist construction and an invincible powerful army which has the ties of kinship with the people and enjoys the absolute support from them.
    Calling for holding fast to the Juche-oriented Songun idea and the Songun leadership feats of Kim Il Sung as an eternal lifeline, the daily stresses that to uphold the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il is a sure guarantee for glorifying the ever-victorious history of the revolution started on Mt. Paektu with arms.
    Minju Joson notes that the heroic KPA has developed under the care of the legendary brilliant commanders of Mt. Paektu, grown steel-strong both in the fierce battle fields of the anti-imperialist struggle and socialist construction for 75 years and demonstrated its might as the army of Kim Il Sung generation after generation. The DPRK has nothing to fear and no fortress unconquerable as long as this heroic KPA is standing guard over it, the daily concludes.
