Reminded of Vindman's message to his dad at hearing: Do not worry, I will be fine for telling truth"

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman thanked his father for leaving the Soviet Union 40 years ago to give him and his brothers the opportunity to live in a country “free of fear” for their safety.

“Dad, I'm sitting here today in the U.S. Capitol, talking to our elected professionals, is proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union and come here to the United States of America in search of a better life for our family,” he said Tuesday during his opening statement as part of Tuesday's public impeachment inquiry hearing.

“Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth.”
