During his testimony before the Intel Committee, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman had a message for his father: ``Do not worry. I will be fine for telling the truth.'' Lieutenant Colonel Vindman is a war hero who has earned far better than the treatment he received from the administration last week. But this behavior should not surprise us. It is part of a pattern. Let us remember the campaign waged against Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch last year. Ambassador Yovanovitch is an exemplary public servant who deserved our gratitude. Instead, the administration shamelessly attacked her and fired her to further the President's personal agenda. But I agree with the Ambassador when she wrote: I remain optimistic about the future. The events of the past year, while deeply disturbing, show that even though our institutions and our fellow citizens are being challenged in ways that few of us ever expected, we will endure and we will persist. Indeed. ____________________
