To me the meaning of our convention is one of unity, the  preservation of our culture,  identity, and language among our people,  remembering those many who have suffered for us in the name of Assyrians so that we can be here today.  I wanted to share with everyone my thoughts and outlook on the future and destiny of our, unparalleled nation with every Assyrian and non-Assyrian alike. The  upcoming national convention in Arizona this year is a fantastic event that is sure to please all ages. What will the  convention mean to you? Is it just to socialize and have fun, or does it have a deeper meaning?
