On June 25, Juche 39 (1950), the first day of the Fatherland Liberation War, President Kim Il Sung held the emergency session of the Cabinet and said in a sonorous voice as follows:
The Yankees underestimated the Koreans and we must show the mettle of the Koreans as a wolf has to be tamed with a club.
He told to switch over to an immediate and decisive counter-offensive in his speech at the emergency session "Let Us Wipe Out the Invaders by a Decisive Counter-offensive".
He, in his speech, said that the Koreans didn’t want to become slaves of imperialism again and wouldn’t yield to anybody the democratic freedom and rights they acquired. He continued that all the Koreans would turn out as one with arms in their hands to safeguard the independence of the country, freedom and democracy.
The people, who placed firm trust in the President alone and were convinced that they were sure to win victory as long as they had the President, performed miracles unprecedented in the world war history without the slightest vacillation in front of the imperialist aggressive forces.
They smashed the aggressors on the land, in the sky and on the seas of the country.
The aggressors realized how strong, resourceful and gallant the Koreans are at the cost of their blood and lives.
The tradition of victory created in the Fatherland Liberation War has been handed down till today through 70-odd years.
Show the mettle of the Koreans!
The descendants of the great Kim Il Sung’s nation recall to themselves this great echo of history whenever they face trials and difficulties.
Let us show the mettle of heroic people in building a powerful socialist country before the whole world.
