Father of Soldiers




Father of Soldiers

Leader Kim Jong Il in his lifetime visited all places where soldiers were, showing his parental affection to them.
The following happened in 1995.
One spring day he took measures to help soldiers of a woman costal battery get rest in Pyongyang, the soldiers whom he had met on his on-site inspection tour for the Songun revolutionary leadership.
He prepared a schedule for their stay and instructed officials to let an able cameraman accompany the soldiers to take souvenir photographs and make good photo albums for them.
When they finished their rest, an official brought albums of photographs taken in a group and separately.
To their surprise, the first pages of the albums were all blank.
They were told what had happened.
Kim Jong Il saw the albums one by one, scrutinizing the composition and color of the photographs and the quality of paper. And he was in deep thought with the first page opened. Then he suggested leaving the first page of every album blank.
He said: “In the future the girls would get married and have a wedding picture taken. How good it would be to put the picture on the blank first page.”
Like this, Kim Jong Il paid deep attention even to their future life not as Supreme Commander, but as their father.
That’s why the soldiers of the People’s Army called him their father, believing in him absolutely and supporting his idea and leadership wholeheartedly.
The 80 years of the Korean People’s Army was a proud history of the harmonious whole of the Supreme Commander and the soldiers in their victorious advance.
The dear respected Kim Jong Un is just the same with Kim Jong Il.
Holding him in high esteem as Supreme Commander, the history of harmonious whole will continue in the future too.
