In the DPRK there are many patriotic families, members of which have served in the army through three or four generations.
Among them is the family of Jo Song Jun living in Samma-dong No. 2, Tongdaewon District, Pyongyang. His father was the first to wear military uniform in his family that has maintained military service as a family tradition for three generations.
Senior Jo, who had keenly realized that a family’s happiness is impossible without a country while suffering under the military rule of the Japanese imperialists (1905-1945), volunteered to fight against the aggressors during the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953) and remained in uniform for the rest of his life.
Jo Song Jun and his wife Ri Bok Hui are both discharged officers.
Their family tradition is now being carried on by their sons.
Jo and his wife often tell their children and grandchildren that they should become persons of faith and conscience who are willing to devote their blood and sweat to their country more precious than their lives.
