Once an Oath Keeper always an Oath Keeper

018FiremanTony1975 I am a Army veteran during the Viet Nam era, 1963 – 1966. I was stationed in Europe for me complete tour. After coming home and going to college I became a fire fighter with CDF for 3 years the with the USFS for 2 years.

After the forest fire fighting I was picked up by a City Fire Department. I spent a total of 18 years with the Department. I was an Engineer/EMT and a riverboat rescue operator. I had to retire after receiving injuries on a structure fire.

During the time I was a Firefighter I was also a Deputy Sheriff Reserve 2. I was in the Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue. We also did other duties as required like working the boat patrol during holidays. I quite being a deputy when the job became to conflicting with my primary job. I do miss both of them.

In closing I am honored to be a member of the Oath Keepers. With the jobs I mentioned i took and oath to defend the United states of America and it’s Constitution. That oath still applies. Once an Oath Keeper always an Oath Keeper.

Welcome! I notice that we’re getting a little more active now in Oath Keepers, though I’m especially hopeful that we’ll Demonstrate in Red or usually Red States where we can network with so many Patriot friends who are Pro-Gun, Pro-Bible, Pro-Constitution.

Didn’t realize there were other active people involved. Strange, never counted the times I have taken the oath. Marine Corps, county fire, city fire, US Forest Service Hot shot crew leader with smoke jump team, Nevada Deputy,Vol.Asst Fire Chief, Special Deputy,Reserve Deputy, Marine Corps League, State Guard, mostly covers I guess. Now the Oath Keepers! Welcome aboard. Semper Fi
