Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army officer who works for the National Security Council, said his family’s decision to come to the U.S. as refugees 40 years ago has given him a “deep sense of gratitude” and instilled a “sense of duty and service.” Vindman, who has been the target of attacks about his heritage, said he knows that in some countries, his decision to testify truthfully would not be allowed and could cost him his life. “I am grateful for my father’s brave act of hope 40 years ago and for the privilege of being an American citizen and public servant, where I can live free of fear for mine and my family’s safety,” Vindman said. Vindman testified Nov. 19 in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
