Citizen Supports Oath Keepers

I’m not in the military, but am pleased to be a member of Oath Keepers, at least as far as what I’ve seen, which is all good. It’s awesome to see a group of soldiers who stand by what they’ve sworn they will do—defend and protect the U.S.A; it’s even more awesome to hear them say publicly what they WILL NOT do! I heard a sermon once about that concept, how sometimes we must know who/what we are NOT before we really know who/what we ARE.

Ultimately, a soldier, I believe, is a protector of the people, not just a robot taking orders from a President, or even following Congressional laws blindly, because the possibility is always there of those entities stepping outside of their legal bounds and moral bounds and still expecting the soldier to lay his/her life down for an unjust cause.

I’m appreciating very much the fact that Oath Keepers has had the foresight and the compassion to consider the situation of the average American citizen and their
possible plight (should the “law” or the Federal leadership become corrupt), while they themselves are under so much pressure to perform their duties even to the
extent of forfeiting their own lives.

Soldiers are citizens too, albeit required to perform a special kind of service; but that service should not exclude them acting upon the dictates of their consciences.

I’ve always been grateful for, and proud of, our military. I’m especially grateful and proud to see Oath Keepers standing up for themselves. And I’m extremely grateful and proud to see them standing up for the average American citizen.

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

Welcome to Oath Keepers. There may come a time when citizens will have to step up and become soldiers in defense of our Constitution. I hope that day never comes, but if it does, America will need as many citizens to fight for her as she can muster.

Happy to have you here. Spread to word.

Bless you for your support and for investing the time in taking action and speaking out.

We’re one country, United States, by the people and for the people, fighting for liberty and justice for all.

Again, thank you very much.

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.
