Many later returned to their native town to marry and bring their families back to this country. This pattern has been largely followed to date. Today the more than 35.000 Chaldeans in Metropolitan Detroit have distinguished themselves as productive. creative. and valued members of our community. They are devoted to family values. strongly attached to their church and spiritual heritage and very active in social and education affairs. The ChaldeanAmerican community has enriched our society and has offered a fine model to other immigrants in the United States. They have integrated American civic values with their own strong cultural tradition. I am confident that the Chaldean community will continue to make unique contributions to our society.
