I Will Continue To Keep The Oath That I Took

PanamaTribute031

I swore to uphold the Constitution in 1987 as I enlisted in the Army. I wanted the job others would avoid 11B Infantry. I have pushed the limits both physically and mentally for the freedoms that we share today. I have served overseas three times Panama and Korea X2 tours. I have learned and trained others on almost every infantry weapon in the arsenal. I will teach my son to use a rifle in a safe manner and learn to respect the use of one.
I will continue to keep the oath that I took then and will stand up and be heard when it is ever to be changed.

Please donate and support Oath Keepers mission, every little bit helps!

Our sons and daughters are the reason we must protect the Constitution before it is taken with the right to speak freely. Thank you for your courage on the battlefield and now your courage in the face of domestic tyranny against our God given Freedoms. Awaken your friends and neighbors to vote out the RepubliCrats. Vote Libetarian Ron Paul.

Whoa.
Don’t just don’t vote for anyone who won’t stand up for
the Constitution.
Past and present service people are in the Armed Services. We learned (if not before)
what is right or wrong.

This isn’t some WW11 inter service bar room brawl.
Thank you for joining!

I can’t not reply to comment #5
Answer to Mike Brown:

I vote for the Republic. FOR WHICH I WLL STAND TILL MY LAST BREATH.

FOLKS you know some times name calling just doesn’t get it.

What kind of Crats can we be? Oath KeeperCrats
InifdelCrats
To be determined Crats.

Like ER -blank -Crats.

Seems so far to me that OATH KEEPERS are for the People by the People.
I can’t speak for anyone but myself. So I say in these times, I can’t be prouder to
than to be a member of OATH KEEPERS than anything previous.

Great headline. If your cookie has a bite-sized action and your reader completes the action, I think two things happen. Their self-confidence goes up (which feels good) and their trust in you increases.

PLEASE DONATE AND SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS
Oath Keepers is growing FAST, but like General Patton, we are outpacing our own supply lines. Your donations are "fuel" for our advance!

"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including his life.'" – Author Unknown

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. -- Thomas Paine

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” -- Thomas Paine

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

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.

Officers Oath

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.
