The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a historic speech at the 6th National Conference of War Veterans on July 27, 2020.
He said.
Our victorious wartime generation is a proud generation that created a new history of carrying forward the Korean revolution by dedicating their blood and lives and developed the revolutionary spirit of Paektu into an all-people ideological spirit.
Thanks to the People’s Army soldiers, who defended every inch of their motherland at the cost of blood with the steely faith that they would surely emerge victorious as long as they were led by President Kim Il Sung, and to the people on the home front, who dedicated their all to the victory in the war, the spirit of unity around the leader, the indefatigable spirit of fighting the enemy to the death and the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance of making weapons with bare hands could be displayed highly as a mettle of heroic Korea.
That is why our Party holds in high esteem and gives prominence to the victorious wartime generation, who brought about the victory at the cost of blood amid the flames of war, as a proud generation who laid a cornerstone for carrying forward our revolutionary traditions.
