Undying Feats Performed by Kim Il Sung in Leading Songun Revolution
Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- Today the army and people of the DPRK are greeting the significant Day of Songun at a historic period when they are winning victory after victory in the all-out confrontation with the U.S. and the struggle to defend socialism and strikingly demonstrating the might of the great Paektusan nation under the guidance of the great Workers' Party of Korea.

The glorious history of the Songun revolution records the undying leadership feats of President Kim Il Sung who taught the immutable truth that the independence of the country and nation and victory of the revolution are guaranteed by the arms of the revolution and gave an origin to the Songun revolution.

He was the pioneer of the great revolutionary cause of Songun and the great leader who provided the ever-victorious traditions of the Korean revolution by dint of Songun.

He founded the great Songun idea of attaching importance to arms and military affairs, clearly indicating the way of hewing out the independent destiny of the nation and thoroughly applying the idea to the whole course of the revolutionary struggle.

He founded the Korean People's Revolutionary Army, the first revolutionary armed forces of Juche type on April 25, Juche 21 (1932), a historic event to be specially recorded in hewing out the destiny of the Korean nation and leading the Songun revolution.

By relying on the armed forces of Songun, he defeated the brigandish Japanese imperialists and accomplished the historic cause of national liberation. He also beat down the U.S. imperialists and wrought undying military miracles to be specially recorded in the history of the revolutionary wars against imperialism and the history of the Songun revolutionary leadership.

His farsighted wisdom and outstanding Songun revolutionary leadership serve as the basic source which helped our revolutionary armed forces play a decisive role as the most powerful political and military forces in the whole course of the Korean revolution.

He trained the army not only as forces for waging the anti-imperialist struggle and winning power but also as hardcore forces pushing forward the overall revolution and construction, and laid an eternal foundation for developing it.

He built the modern defense industry, put all the people under arms and turned the whole country into a fortress, converting it into an invulnerable one self-reliant in defence. This was his great patriotic feat.

His revolutionary history is, indeed, the glorious history in which he led the revolution and construction to victory by dint of matchless military muscle and the sacred history in which he established the great traditions of the revolutionary cause of Songun.

The tradition of the Juche revolution and the Songun revolution is given a steady continuity in the unprecedented arduous ordeals and the army and people of the DPRK are demonstrating the dignity and honor of Kim Il Sung's nation and Kim Jong Il's Korea on the highest level as we see today. This would be unthinkable apart from the undying patriotic feats of Kim Il Sung.

All feats performed by the army and people of the DPRK in the bloody struggle and the road to win such glorious victory are associated with his august name.

The undying feats Kim Il Sung performed by ushering in the new era of the ever-victorious Songun revolution for the first time in history will remain shining forever.
