I swore my first Oath in 1976 and I remain true to it today

CoastGuard I am a 22 yr. Veteran of the US Coast Guard. 30 yr. Civil Servant of the Navy. I swore my first Oath in 1976 and I remain true to it today. I believe our national resolve is being tested as it was on Lexington Green, and Valley Forge, and as it was on December 7th 1941, and again on September 11th 2001. I pledge to you my brothers and sisters of the Republic my unwavering devotion to stand strong by your side, to give aid and comfort you, to protect freedom, and above all defend the Constitution of the United States of America. From this my solemn obligation and with the blessings of God there shall be no retreat!

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

William

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.
