I Was In Awe Of Every Word As I Swore The Oath

Air force emblem When I took the oath when enlisting in the US Air Force I was in awe of every word as I swore the oath. Yet as time went by I just did my job in Air Force and didn’t think much of it although I knew it was important. So when I got out of military I saw our country slowly going down hill till you see what we have today. I would try and educate my fellow Americans on the dangers of what was going on. Many years ago they thought I was nuts but none are saying that today.

The oath one takes when entering military or a police force is very important and unless one understands the full extent of the oath the service you render is empty. You need to understand the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights before you know what the oath means. When you understand
all this you can stand tall as a proud American and know why so many in the past have shed their blood for this oath.

Another thing is that these documents of our Founding Fathers are the closest principles to the principles of the Bible than any other documents in any other country. We live in the greatest country in the world. We were the envy of all nations of the world but now we have some of the richest people in the world who think they own the world and want to play God. We must stand up to them!

Today, we are no longer just veterans of the Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, Army, Air Force or Police because of the dangers that the Domestic and Foreign have placed us in and by the never ending Oath to the Constitution we have been drafted as Soldiers of the Republic! Our country also welcomes those who are active duty and civilians who have taken the oath.

On the spiritual side of all this is the fact that we all need God! This life is a journey and at end of it we all die and then we are judged how well we do. No one is promised tomorrow so we live each day, one at a time. The reason we are in this mess is because so many have fallen away from God. So please spend a prayerful
time each day to Our Lord!

George Washington was not the best soldier when he fought in the Revolution and there were times I’m sure he thought it was all over and they had lost. Still, he
was a God fearing man who always stayed in touch with God and God helped him through every seemingly hopeless situation. Some say he had a vision at Valley
Forge where a spirit or angel showed him the future of the United States and this helped him go on. I leave you with the words the angel told Washington: ‘While the
stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.’ To see my page on George Washington go click here.

Excellent testimony. You are exactly right about our Founding Documents. The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights in the Constitution are precisely what the ‘Orders we will not obey’ is based on. Welcome!

Sir, you are a model citizen and a true man of honor which is much needed in crazy times. Your loyalty and virtue is an inspiration and gives me hope that America will one day again be a great nation deserving of the respect, admiration, and friendship of the rest of the world. I look forward to that day. Thank you SO much, sincerely, thank you.

I wonder who might be tapping in on this communication??? What has happened to our country???
Some where along the way the snake got in and lots of damage has been done to a great country.
Is it too late?
The worst sin in all of this is that good people do nothing!

"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.

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.
