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!

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

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)

"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.

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.
