Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) -- Many senior middle school graduates in Kaesong Municipality of the DPRK have volunteered to join the Korean People's Army, with their surging resentment and hostility toward the U.S. imperialists and the ROK military gangsters running amuck to block the existence and development of the DPRK at any cost.

Graduate students of Sonjuk Senior Middle School, Kaesong Secondary School No. 1 and other schools in the municipality decided to go to the forefront for national defence.

Those in Jangphung County, too, showed their strong will to reliably carry forward the great tradition of victory of heroic Korea by following the loyalty, bravery and patriotic spirit of the defenders of the country in the 1950s.

Those in Kaephung and Phanmun districts pledged to fully demonstrate the indomitable spirit and courage of the Korean youth and wipe out all the aggressors, once the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un gives an order.

At meetings held in the municipality and districts and counties, war veterans and speakers congratulated those volunteers in military uniform of the revolution.

The citizens waved their hands and offered greetings of encouragement to the ranks of successors marching along streets to the tune of revolutionary songs, with the flags of the DPRK and the red flags in the van of the ranks. -0-
