Armenian Americans have served our country faithfully as members of the armed services. as public officials. as business and community leaders. Their story is the story of America. one of hard work. dedication. commitment to faith and to family. I have heard their story. I have heard it from survivors of the genocide and from their descendants. My good friend Gregory Krikorian has told me the story of his grandmother. Yegnar Atamian. who after witnessing the brutal death of her father. the capture and slaughter of her brothers. the rape of her mother and sisters. endured her own deportation through the deserts of Syria. Her faith and her will to live somehow guided her to America. She is not alone.
