"Let us inherit the soul of the victorious wartime generation!"--this is the slogan of faith put up by the successors to the revolution determined to add luster to the glory and honor of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea provided by the victorious wartime generation through the proud history of heroic resistance, century after century.

All the youths in the DPRK are greeting with great pride the eternal V-Day in the sacred course of development of the DPRK, a revolutionary holiday of all the Korean people. They pay high respects to the victors of great years who honorably defended the sovereignty and territory of the Republic and firmly laid the foundation for an independent power with their precious sacrifice and undying feats.

Growing stronger with July of victory is the will and desire of the young vanguard in Juche Korea to reliably carry forward the tradition of victory and the heroic spirit created under the guidance of the great leader and the great Party and turn our socialist country defended and built up by the forerunners into a more powerful and eternally prosperous paradise of the people.

The young vanguard met in front of the Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery on Friday to vow to inherit the soul of the victorious wartime generation.

Present there were Ri Il Hwan, Pak Jong Chon and Pak Thae Song, secretaries of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Kim Jong Sun, department director of the C.C., WPK, Mun Chol, chairman of the C.C., Socialist Patriotic Youth League, war veterans and officials of the youth league, service personnel, students of Mangyongdae Revolutionary School and Kang Pan Sok Revolutionary School and youth and students in the capital city of Pyongyang.

Kim Chol Ryong, department director of the Central Committee of the youth league, Kang Wi Gwon, a soldier of the Korean People’s Army, Ri Yong Gyong, a worker of the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Silk Mill, and So Jin Hyok, a student of Kim Il Sung University, made speeches in reflection of the will of all the youths across the country to creditably carry forward the heroic spirit of the victorious wartime generation.

Speakers said that the spirit of defending the country and the revolution, created in the war flames in the 1950s, is the most valuable asset that can never be bartered for anything and the precious soul to be kept as their lives.

The state, people and army guided by the outstanding leader are always invincible and the fighting spirit of the heroic generation full of absolute loyalty to the leader and ardent love for and devotion to the country is immortal as the source of eternal victory, they said, adding that this is the immutable truth that we keep once again.

They noted that the excellent deeds of the patriotic youths of the new generation, ready to respond to any call of the Party with practice and unhesitatingly devote themselves to the most difficult places if the country wants them, show that the indomitable spirit of the wartime heroes is still now creditably being carried forward.

And they expressed their will to further display the spirit and mettle of the revolutionary army unaware of impossibility at every theater for building a socialist power, including the housing construction sites in the capital city and the construction sites of regional-industry factories, bearing in mind the noble mission that young soldiers should stand in the vanguard of the revolution.

They said that they would become honorable young pioneers and innovators in fulfilling the national economic plan by devoting their youthful strength and enthusiasm in the same fighting spirit and creative mettle as was displayed by the wartime workers who operated their machines and reeled silk off cocoons even under the shower of shells.

They said that the youth league organizations would conduct ideological education more intensive and positive and thus prepare all the young people as ardent revolutionaries and genuine patriotic youths firmly armed with the revolutionary spirit of the great victorious wartime generation.

At the sacred place where the soul and spirit of the great defenders of the country are alive, the speakers made a solemn pledge to prepare themselves as revolutionary talents who uphold the revolutionary ideology and leadership of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un with high abilities and by dint of science and technology and to surely realize the desire of the victorious wartime generation with their inexhaustible wisdom and efforts.

Then, Kim Yong Hwang, a war veteran, handed over the flag of the DPRK shining as a symbol of heroism and victory of Juche Korea to the young people of new generation amid the playing of song "Holiday of Great War Victory".

In the historic moment when the heroic fighting spirit is firmly carried forward generation after generation and the DPRK’s history of indomitable struggle is imprinted more preciously in the minds of the descendants, the young vanguard held high the flag of the glorious DPRK, bearing in mind the honorable mission to reliably defend our ideology and social system the revolutionary forerunners defended at the cost of blood and to glorify the eternal development of the beloved motherland with great victory.

The rising generation was excited to look up to the sacred national flag, the immortal banner which the victors of the great years held high in the van of annihilating the enemies and represents the independent dignity and the rosy future of the DPRK.

All the participants were full of revolutionary enthusiasm to glorify Juche Korea’s history of war victory for all ages by firmly carrying forward the indomitable soul and spirit of the victorious wartime generation.
