I enlisted in the Army in 2002, my brother in 2005. We swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. Now more than ever our allegiance will be tested in the future.
I feel that when I took that Oath it was forever, whether I remained active military as a career or only did one tour. The defense of our country and its Constitution never rests and neither should those who swore to uphold and defend it..
I swore an oath to protect this country over two years ago , from both foreign and domestic. That is still the oath and forever always will be, that I live for and would gladly die for.
Our military, police, fire, and EMT personnel are the most noble and decent members of our society. It is time that we refused to be the pawns of the worst elements of society- the political class.
Served from Jan.1963 to Mar.1966 at Sheppard AFB as Air Police in the rank of A2C. I was assigned to the the firing range and an instructor and helped trained AF military people to use first the 30 cal.
When I was in the army I hoped the day would not come where I would have to make the choice to go against our Constitution or our fellow citizens for exercising their Constitutional rights.
I joined the USMC and became an Abrams Combat Tanker. Since then, I have met and served with very HONORABLE individuals, Individuals that put others above themselves, individuals who will fight to protect their friends and family.
I come from a family both on my side and on my wife’s side that have served in all branches of the Military. That also includes my wife, 22 years USN. My wife and I and others in our family just stood again with pride on Oct 23 as my oldest son graduated boot camp at MCRD San Diego.
I began 13 weeks of basic training at the U.S. Coast Guard Receiving Center training July 26, 1961.
As a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts of America. Our motto was “Be Prepared”
As a Coast Guardsman, our motto was “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready).
The Ship that I served aboard had a motto. It was “Equal to [...]
I am a former USMC Military Policeman, served 1974-1978. What a privilege and honor it is to be in the midst of such physical,moral,spiritual,Patriotic Heroes and Heroines.
have always maintained that I have an obligation to those brave men and women who sacrificed in service to our country. Whether they died, were injured while serving or something happened after they got out.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1984 and served through 1992 with my last station being the Naval Investigative Service (now NCIS). Even at 18 when I gave my oath I clearly understood the significance of the wording and placement. “…support and defend the Constitution…”
I am an American and will be til I die. So the oath stays with me. I left the Air Force in 1990, but I still serve in my community in many ways.
I first took the Oath when I joined the United States Navy in 1963, I felt a tremendous obligation & pride to serve our country and defend our Constitution. I took another Oath and am currently a LEO in Santa Barbara, Ca.
I knew I wanted to be a Marine at the ripe old age of 13. Somehow I just understood what it meant when I would see our Nation’s flag and I knew I wanted to help protect it and our country.
I took the oath to protect and defend our constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, over 25 years ago when I joined the Marines. I have had other occasions in which I have renewed that vow, and it means more to me than ever before.
It was great to find this website and to learn that like-minded police and military officers are out there. I took an oath similar to those of other officers, and consider my duty to defend the Constitution the most important part of what I do.
