Brilliant Songun Commander and gunners of island defense detachment
   The Supreme Commander and service persons share warm kindred feelings in the Democratic People´s Republic of Korea where the leader and the people form a perfect unity.
   On March 11, Juche 102 or 2013 respected Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un, ploughing through the raging waves aboard a motorboat, called on the service persons of the Wolnae Island Defense Detachment, a forward base of the hottest spot in the western sector of the front, in a hailing distance from the Paekryong Island. The gunners of the detachment were greatly excited as they met the longed-for respected Marshal Kim Jong Un at their post.
   Before the boat touched the shore, the service persons jumped into the cold seawater and swam towards the boat.
   The service persons who met him at the too dangerous place, sang the song "Burning Desire" in a broken voice. Warm tears of emotion rolled down their cheeks. The service persons said to themselves: "Supreme Commander, we wanted to see you. We wanted to meet you at our post."
   Their song sung towards him with a bright smile on his face, echoed earnestly into the sky of the Wolnae Island.
   Respected Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un looked round the barracks first. He felt the temperature of the room, kindly asked a commanding officer how they were getting firewood and said that when the bedroom is warm and foods are rich, the soldiers at the post would feel at home. He earnestly told the officers to run for the soldiers until their shoes are worn-out, remembering that they exist for them. He said, when their sincerity for the soldiers is warm, the soldiers do not feel cold though the weather is cold, and the officers should make efforts to bring their sincerity home to the soldiers. The officers felt a lump in their throats because of the paternal love of the considerate and kindhearted Supreme Commander.
   That day the gunners showed their simple art performance to him. In the performance, they earnestly requested him not to come to the dangerous place again, though they are eager to see him, and said, when he is safe they are happy. All present were in tears. He highly praised them, saying they gave an excellent performance, all of them were good singers and it is an example of the Songun culture. Respected Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un came out to the shore to leave the detachment. The gunners jumped into the cold seawater again and followed him until water was neck-deep. Drops also shone in the eyes of the Supreme Commander beckoning the service persons and their families to go out of water, saying water is cold. It was an unfading scene of the great perfect unity of the Supreme Commander and soliders of Korea who are sharing the same idea, purpose and destiny.
