Current Serving Police Officer, 23 Years in Service, Stands With Us

I have served for twenty three years as an LEO. I am approaching retirement in two months. I have always taken the Oath seriously and have tried to perform accordingly. I will always stand by my beliefs in the face of adversity. At the time that I was growing up we never heard of being right wing or left wing. We were taught to do the right thing and that was measured by the truths in the bible. I never thought the day would come when I could be branded as a terrorist for believing in conservative values. I always thought that the values I was taught to live by would keep me out of trouble. I am a family man that has raised three children in church and raised them with the same values I was taught and they have turned out to be productive citizens. I’m not perfect nor are they but we love this country and God and will defend it until the end.

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

It is so nice to have you here. I have a lot of respect for law enforcement officials who take their oath’s seriously and are trying to connect with others to network and strengthen the fabric of our Nation. It is refreshing and gives me hope that those of you who join are there to side with and support. God bless you in your endeavors and thanks for being here!

Well, welcom to the “right wing extremist club”, and may I say I am a member too, in good standing as my conservative values are the same as yours. I as a former Texas Peace Officer know exactly where you’re coming from.don’t let them get the upper hand. Thanks for your selfless sacrifice in such a thankless job.

"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...

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.

Officers 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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. 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.
