June 25 1950 was the day when the US imperialists started the Korean war.

On the occasion of the June 25 Day of Struggle against the US Imperialists schoolchildren in the DPRK got together at the plaza before the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum on June 23 to vow to take revenge upon the US imperialists.

Seen at the venue of the meeting were slogans "Let us annihilate the US imperialist aggressors, the sworn enemy of the Korean people!" and "Let us take a thousand-fold revenge on the US imperialist murderers!"

It was attended by officials of the youth league and schoolchildren in Pyongyang including those of Mangyongdae and Chilgol revolutionary schools.

A lecturer of the Central Class Education House made a remark at the meeting.

“The US imperialists ignited the flame of war of aggression against our peaceful country and inflicted wounds that cannot be healed on our people. Their atrocities are an indelible crime. If the enemies dare invade our country, schoolchildren should bravely fight to defend their dear native villages and schools like the members of the Children's Guards during the past war,” she said.

Then there were speeches.

Jo Son Gyong, a schoolgirl of Chilgol Revolutionary School, said that although more than 70 years have passed since ceasefire and the appearance of the country changed and new generations grew up with the passage of time, what do not and cannot change are the deep hatred towards the US imperialists and revengeful thought against the sworn enemy of our people and rising generation. She ardently called on all the schoolchildren to study harder and lead a better life in their organizations and thus grow up to be young revolutionaries and patriots, cherishing deep in their mind the faith that they will surely win when they are led by the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

Kang Ryung Song, a student of Jonsung Senior Middle School in Moranbong District, Pyongyang, said: “The US imperialists and the ROK rogues are the sworn enemies who inflicted only misfortune and pain on our people and whom we should fight against to the last even generation after generation. With such a class viewpoint, I will take an active part in the training of the Children's Guards to acquire military knowledge with sincerity and build up my body and also conduct a do-good-thing movement positively to contribute to increasing the country's defence capabilities.”

The speakers expressed their firm determination to train their body and mind in their school days and join the army to firmly defend their socialist country seizing the arms of the revolution and class.

The young participants in the meeting burned with the will to resolutely punish the aggressors as befitting the descendants of the great victorious wartime generation if the dark clouds of war cover this land again.
