I’m proud to be an American, I pledge to defend the Constitution and the sovereignty of The Republic

Logo3USAF When I enlisted in the military, I knew that the Oath came with an obligation. That obligation was and is to defend the Constitution of The United States of America from all enemies foreign and domestic.

I served one four year enlistment in the U.S. Air Force Tactical Air Command, working in Radar Maintenance. My unit was awarded an Outstanding Unit Award and served as air support during Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia. What an awesome group of men and women that I served with-it was quite an experience and a great honor.

My unit assisted other forces in the liberation of Kuwait from a brutal dictator, but it wasn’t the first time American’s have shed blood for the freedoms of others. Many have gone before us in the fight for liberty on many different shores-their sacrifice will not be forgotten!

Unfortunately, freedom from tyranny is a continuous struggle, but never has a nation or a people done so much for the world. I’m proud to be an American and pledge to defend the Constitution and the sovereignty of The Republic from all enemies, foreign or domestic. God bless and protect these United States and its people!

Thank you for serving your country. Freedom from tyranny is a constant struggle as those in power seem to become addicted to more. Thank you for being at your best while serving in Tactical Air Command. It must be amazing to know that when you do your best lives are saved. Thank you for joining Oath Keepers as you continue your obligation to the Republic.

Welcome to Oath Keepers! And thank you for your service in the USAF. I’m honored to have a fellow Air Force Vet join us in our struggle to contnue to uphold our Oath to the Republic.

We live in troubled times that most of us never thought we would see in the United States of America.

Your mission has just begun. The task at hand is to reach, teach, and inspire those that are currently on the front lines to protect and defend the the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.

All we ask is they stand down through non-violent means from carrying out unlawful orders. For they are our guardians that are responsible for ensuring the prevention of the federal government from usurping, altering, and abusing the power vested in them by our forefathers.

If you haven’t already joined your state group that’s where you can contribute the most to the Oath Keepers.

Again welcome.

Forever Vigilant,

Robert A. Gomez, MSgt, USAF, (Ret)
Member, Oath Keepers National Board of Directors
