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.

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.
