Meetings with DPRK heroes and a war veteran took place at working people's organizations on February 6 on the occasion of the 77th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army.

DPRK Hero Pak In Ho, a lecturer at the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, told about the feats performed by the sailors of the Korean People's Army in January 1968 when they captured the US imperialist armed spy ship Pueblo which intruded into the territorial waters of the DPRK.

The US imperialists threatened and blackmailed the DPRK under the pretext of the incident, crying out for "retaliation", but they were brought to their knees by the courage and pluck of the peerlessly great men. It was a historic victory won by President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, outstanding military strategists and iron-willed brilliant commanders.

Ho Ryong, a lecturer of the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, said that he could lead a worthwhile life as a hero pilot well-known to the whole country under the care of the peerlessly great men.

The story about his military feats in the battle to repulse the US imperialists' strategic reconnaissance plane, which intruded into the sky over the economic waters of the East Sea of Korea, touched the heartstrings of the participants.

As he fought with the outstanding military strategy and idea, war methods, courage and pluck of the Workers’ Party of Korea, he could win victory in the confrontation with the enemies, he noted.

War veteran Kim Juk Song told about the words of the letter of pledge adopted by the sailors before the naval battle in the sea off Jumunjin and the days when she was engaged as a head nurse in intense medical treatment in the battlefields to save the lives of her comrades-in-arms during the Fatherland Liberation War.

The KPA has grown into the strongest revolutionary armed forces reliably guaranteeing the defence of the sovereignty of the state and the enhancement of national prestige with invincible arms under the guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, she stressed.

Through the meetings with the heroes and war veteran, the participants cherished the idea that the country is great and the people can win glory as they are led by the great brilliant commander and pledged to devote their all to national defence, sincerely assist the People's Army and conduct a mass movement to contribute to bolstering up the military capabilities.

Present at the meetings were Pak In Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea, Jon Hyang Sun, chairwoman of the women’s union central committee, officials of the youth league, GFTUK and women's union, youth and students, workers and trade union and women’s union members in Pyongyang.
