Column of Love

The military parade in celebration of the 70th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea in October, Juche 104 (2015) welcomed an extraordinary rank called the column of Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade. This bears a moving story. One day in September, a month before the parade, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station. That day he said that every time our revolution faced difficulties and trials, he relied on the young people as his spiritual pillars who had volunteered to make a start of life at the construction site of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station with patriotic devotion, adding that he was firmly convinced that as there is such a large contingent of young people, our revolution will emerge victorious without fail. Then, he bestowed great benevolence on the brigade as regards the parade. That was how an extraordinary column named the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade column was added to the significant military parade in celebration of the 70th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
