Nadan Yonadam
From the news reports:
The shock of Nadan Yonadams death still lingers in the minds of those of us who had the fortune of knowing him, working with him, and hearing his counsel on the Assyrian national movement. ...
Nadan was a former Assyrian Universal Alliance Secretary and a current member of the Assyrian National Organization. ...
Nadan was a no non-sense kind of a fellow. You either are or are not an Assyrian, Nadan would say, and you either help your fellow Assyrians or stay off my path. He disliked the two-faced politicians and behind-the-microphone warriors. If you really mean what you say, come with me to Bet-Nahrain and help me rebuild OUR homeland.
Let us remember Nadans dedication and love for his people with more than just a few words of praise. His friends have already suggested the naming of the Assyrian Heritage Room at California State University in Stanislaus as the Nadan Yonadam Room. He would have liked this. Lets do more by eulogizing the do-ers like Nadan and ignoring the ineffective chanters he avoided at all cost. ...
Everytime a thought becomes a word and a word transforms into a constructive deed, Nadan will be sorely missed ...
Nadan pristinely believed in and dedicated his life to the Assyrian Cause. ...
Nothing demonstrated Nadans dedication to his convictions and his people more, than his decision to go and risk his life side by side with the Coalition Forces for the sake of establishing democracy in Iraq and thereby securing the future of the Assyrian people in the Assyrian Homeland.
