On July 25, Juche 102(2013) the
Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery was built to mark the 60th
anniversary of victory in the Fatherland Liberation War.
It covers a total area of 200
000m2
In front of the cemetery, there
are gateposts of three-figure group of sculptures with a fluttering
party and national flags as their background and figures “1950”
and “1953”(period
of the war)inscribed
on them.
After passing the gateposts the
visitors can see the
monument to proposition of President Kim Il
Sung that
heroic feats and undying exploits performed
by the officers and men
of the People’s Army will be recorded forever in brilliant golden
letters in the revolutionary history of the Korean people and told
forever down through generations.
There also stand the monument to
poem dedicated to the fallen fighters and sculptures depicting the
heroic struggle of People’s Army soldiers.
The memorial tower of the
People’s Army Martyrs with the height of tens of meters is composed
of a rifle, a bayonet, a national flag and a Republic Hero medal.
It portrays in a peculiar style
of formative art the ideas that the country, happiness, future and
final victory are all guaranteed by weapons.
In front of the memorial tower,
there is a wreath-laying stand “Soul of Heroes” representing
martyr’s coffin.
In the area of the semi-circled
cemetery, there are graves of over 500 fallen fighters on 9 tiers
according to the years of their death.
The gravestones with stone
photographs of martyrs on them are inscribed with a medal of Hero of
the DPRK, their names, birthdays and death days.
Marshal Kim
Jong Un suggested
building the Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery and gave
scrupulous teaching on
its site and the ways and means for
the building. He said our
Party is the owner of the graves of the People’s Army martyrs,
known and unknown, who sacrificed themselves in the Fatherland
Liberation War.
As the Fatherland Liberation War
Martyrs Cemetery was newly built, the heroic feats of the People’s
Army martyrs could be glorified forever with prosperity of Socialist
Korea and the army, people and younger generations of the DPRK could
more deeply learn the indomitable revolutionary spirit and the spirit
of defending the country.
