Acitve Duty Deployed, And Standing With Oath Keepers

I am currently deployed to Iraq, this is my first deployment. When I enlisted in the Military I had an idea that I would be deployed. I didn’t however know just what was going on. When I took my oath at first they were just words that I said to get in the Army. Over the years I have become a student of History and the Constitution. Today that Oath that I took, is no longer just “words” to me. It is more, it is my word, my legacy. I was once told that your legacy is what you make it, and I intend to uphold that Oath at all costs. I swore to defend the Constitution, And to obey the orders of my superiors and the President of the United States “In accordance with Law”. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and the Supreme Court has ruled numerous times, “An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” (Norton vs. Shelby County 118 US 425 p. 442)

It is our duty to stand up for the Constitution, it is our Duty to honor our Oaths and the blood that has been spilled to free America.

I am proud to stand with my brothers and sisters in this “Animating contest of Freedom.”

Thank you for having the courage to stand up for what you believe, I stand ready to defend our Republic with all of you. Long live the Republic of the United States of America.

God bless you and your family for your service. Our son is in Army Ranger school right now. If it were not for the courage of people like you, creating your legacy, we would be speaking German right now. I pray for your protection and safe return to your family. Thank you and welcome to the Oath Keepers.

Welcome and God bless you for your dedication – not only to stand out there for us, but to study on your own and stand with us. It is important to keep the fight “over there” when we reasonably can, and to share freedom as we would want someone to help us.
I pray He keeps you and your comrades safe, and continues to bless our Republic.

American Protectors,

Thank you for your sacrifice as well as your service to the protection of our freedoms. Thank you, also for your promise to uphold the oath that we all took. As a civilian who once took the same oath, let me make a promise to you:

WE HAVE YOUR BACK ALSO! You will not keep your oath, only to be abandoned by those you protect. We will stand by your side and in front of you if need be. You are not alone in this fight.

Thank you, again. God bless and watch your 6.

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

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.
