   Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- Today marks the 54th anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War (1953.7.27).
    Papers today in editorials dedicated to the occasion say that the army and people of the DPRK regard July 27 as revolutionary and auspicious holiday as they humbled the pride of the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being the "strongest" in the world and demonstrated to the world the might of new Korea built in the East.
    Rodong Sinmun stresses that the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War is of a great significance in the sacred Songun revolutionary history of the DPRK.
    It goes on:
    The world history of revolutionary wars does not know such a great revolutionary war as the Fatherland Liberation War that has dealt heavy blows at the imperialist aggressors and greatly contributed to the development of history and struggle of the revolutionary people for independence against imperialism.
    The historic victory in the Fatherland Liberation War was the brilliant fruition of the immortal Songun idea and exploits of Songun leadership of President Kim Il Sung.
    It was also the brilliant victory won thanks to the unshakable iron will and pluck, gifted military wisdom and strategy and tactics of Kim Il Sung.
    It was the victory won by unity and indomitable mental power of the army and people of the DPRK firmly united around Kim Il Sung.
    The Fatherland Liberation War proved that no force can break this unity and match the mental power of the army and people led by the great leader. Herein lies the tremendous historic significance of the victory in the war.
    The 50-odd post-war years were proud years when the army and people of the DPRK have inherited the great feats performed in the war and tradition provided there and thus performed epoch-making miracles and exploits in the struggles to defend socialism and build a rich and powerful country.
    It is the great pride and honor of the army and people of the DPRK to eternally glorify the history of the great victory won in the anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. struggle, blessed by leaders generation after generation.
    Only victory and glory are in store for them advancing toward the bright future with full confidence under the great Songun leadership of the headquarters of the revolution.
    Minju Joson calls on all people to eternally glorify the ever-victorious history of Songun Korea, united around Kim Jong Il in single mind.
