I Hope Our Active Duty Understand How Important They Are To Preserving America

marineseal

I joined the Marine Corp in 1993 thru 2000. As a young man I was gung ho and ready to do anything for my country and the Corps. I was well aware of our countries enemies outside of our borders and never imagined that the biggest threat was our own Gov’t. This site gives me some relief as I was concerned that our military & police officers would turn on their own country men. I hope our active duty folks read this site and understand how important they are to preserving America. We are Americans not terrorist.

Hi, fellow marine, I too was in the U.S. Marine Corps during ww2, female from Camp LeJeune, I did not stay in only 18 months, I was the first female discharged after VJ day, my sister came down with TB and I had to go home and help. Just glad to join you, but now am old, disabled and poor.
But still try to be a Marine in other aspects. Semper Fi

Andy,

Great to have you join us. We are an ever evolving entity in the fight to protect our rights and liberties as set forth by our founding fathers. Thank you for your service.

May I suggest you join your state group. That is where you will find other Oath Keepers with the same goal of reaching out to those on the front line and educate them on what their oath really means.

So if the day comes which it seems to be coming closer by the hour they know that they pledged to protect and defend our constitution and that those citizens of this once great republic are not the enemy.

Liberty for all,

Robert A. Gomez MSgt, USAF, (Ret)
Oklahoma State Director

"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...

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.
