Combat Vet Who Served in Vietnam With the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines

Testimonial of Combat Vet Who Served in Vietnam With the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines (and Now Writes “Speculative Fiction” About Martial Law)

Gentlemen,

I’m a combat vet. I served in Viet Nam with 3 Battalion, 1st Marines, so you know I took the oath a long time ago. I’m now living in Florida.

Only in my later years have I been made aware of how dangerous our government has become. I only hope the ‘10’ will spread throughout the ranks of civil peace officers as well as military personnel.

My piece of speculative fiction at http://reynoldswrapcap.blogspot.com/2008/06/state-of-siegeday-one.html led me here. In fact, a reader from the U.K. asked if I knew about Oath Keepers!

(NOTE: Above is the video trailer for Mike’s “speculative fiction,” State of Siege).

Glad I found this site and I’m sure I can bring a few more Marines with me.

“Guardians of the Republic”.

I like the sound of that. I like it a LOT!

My respects,

Mike Florey

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Your Oath NEVER expires! It's time to keep it!

Site Dedication

This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.

John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had better.

Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
