I Hereby Openly And Reaffirm My Pledge

BillMarineCloseup

This is NOT a Republican vs Democrat/Liberal vs. Conservative/Left vs Right issue but an “American” promise to this great nation as stated in the “Pledge of Allegiance” by all citizens. “Always Faithful” (Semper Fi) is a life-long oath to protect and support not only fellow Marine’s but all citizens and our Constitutional Republic. I hereby openly and reaffirm that pledge. May God Bless America!

Bill

These are some of the most solid words I’ve read here so far. Very, very well said, Bill. I’m glad to have yet another focused member join our ranks. Please don’t be afraid to remind other Oathkeepers who forget that we are non-partisan. Some can be forgetful

I am proud to stand with you and you are right this is about much more than Partisan Politics.

Not on our Watch!

Well said, Bill. “American”, “Constitutional Republic” and “Always Faithful” pretty much sums it up.

"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.

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.
