The Oath I took is still and will always be a part of who and what I am

AMVETS After my second honorable discharge and raising three beautiful children I joined the American Legion, AMVETS,VFW, 40&8, Patriot Guard,started American Legion Riders in my county( Kosciusko, Indiana)and am very active in the above as past commander and still ALR Director and Post Adjutant but when I found the Oath Keepers on the internet my heart jumped as I realized that I had found what I was looking for in the other groups but they have a different mission officially. The Oath I took is still and will always be a part of who and what I am. I thank God that there are others, you all, who feel the same way and I just hope and pray that we are not too late to save this great republic we call ‘home of the brave’!Please pray with me at night that each morning when we awaken our country will still be intact and that we will have the wisdom and insight to catch it before it falls. Thank you all for being here with me!

John

Veterans, you swore an 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; 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

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.
