I have paid a high price, defending that Oath, I am willing to keep paying that price for the freedom

Marine_corps_flag I first took the Oath in 1986 at the age of 18 when I joined the USMC Reserves, at the time I did not really know how important it was. I again took the Oath in 1990 when I was hired as a Law Enforcement Officer. I am now a retired Detective Corporal from a large Department in New Jersey.

While I was assigned to a Federal Narcotics Task Force I was severely injured in the line of duty. A suspect hit me with his vehicle, dragged me down a major highway and tried to crush me against a concrete divider. I was forced to defend myself with deadly force, ejecting me from the vehicle resulting in me having eight surgeries and leaving me permanently disabled.

Every day men and women put on their uniforms and report for duty as police, firemen and first responders. These people put their lives on the line without ever giving it a second thought for our security and that of our children. They do not get paid for what they do, they get paid for what they might have to do. Our Military is on the front lines fighting for our freedom everyday, constantly risking their lives. The least this Country can do is support them and give them the tools they need to WIN. I know realize the importance of the Oath that I have taken. Although I have paid a high price defending that Oath, I am willing to keep paying that price for the freedom and security of this great nation. It is our duty as Americans to respect and honor our warriors and their families who sacrifice so much and get so little. There are some politicians that put personal gain before the safety of our troops.

This cannot be allowed. NOT ON MY WATCH.
