Pyongyang, March 10 (KCNA) -- Graduates of senior middle schools in Pyongyang met before the Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery on March 9 to express their determination to join the Korean People's Army.

Speeches were made at the meeting.

Speakers said that they volunteered to join the KPA though they grew up with nothing to envy in the world under the loving care of the Workers' Party of Korea and had many places to go with great hope.

They expressed their determination to firmly defend the security of the motherland and wellbeing of the people with arms of revolution and thus glorify every moment of their service with loyalty and feats.

Kim Hyong Won, a war veteran, handed over the national flag of the DPRK to the rising generation.

Then, there began a contest of singing wartime songs in chorus while marching by graduates of senior middle schools in Pyongyang.

Those successors passed along streets, singing in chorus the songs for defending the leader and the country with such watchwords as "Human bullets and bombs" and "Death-defying defence" held in their hands. Their stamina instilled into the citizens the conviction that the victory of the DPRK is inevitable and sure as there is the younger generation. -0-
