Army Tank Crewman Stands With Oath Keepers

ArmyLogo I took my first Oath in November, 1982 and served proudly as a tank crewman in the U.S. Army for almost twelve years. Returning from Desert Storm / Shield and slowly awakening to the fact that the gravest threat to our Country and Constitution is our very own Government, I regretfully left the military. I have been searching for something I could do to make a difference as I’ve watched our Country deteriorate over the years and now I think I’ve found it.

The Stories I have read from the many members here have renewed and inspired me. I believe we can reclaim our constitutional republic and I am raring to do so! I swear
on my life to stand with all of you and honor our oaths to defend the greatest document ever devised by men, our Constitution, from all enemies foreign and domestic so help me God.

Waiting on orders Sir!

Not on our watch!

Thanks for joining. The first order of business is to spread the word, literally, supporting and defending the Constitution.

You have made probably the best decision of your post military life. I salute you and I know the hardship you endured as a tank crew member. I too served in The Gulf War. I found the Oath Keepers through a like minded relative and after many discussions and exposure to the mission of this organization I believe this is the group that we veterans can actually make a difference.

Once again welcome aboard. Try to connect with your state group there are members that will help guide you in your new journey to save this republic and the constitution it was founded on.

Very Respectfully,
Robert A. Gomez, MSgt, USAF (Retired)

Excellent,

This site is sometimes giving me “goose bumps” and that ever so ecstatic (tingling) feeling that my Creator is going to be standing with all of the Honorable men and women that are here professing their loyalty to a higher purpose.
A just purpose.

I salute your service, and your Oath to the Constitution.
