God Bless the Oath Keepers

scan0001

I served my country for 15 years minus a month, and served one year in Vietnam. I was 23-24 when I left to go with three children left behind. I was a Security Police and spent my time on the perimeter on a M-60 post and worked from dust to dawn 24-12. It was a day to relax (maybe) on a day off about every 2-3 months.

I experienced several attacks from the Viet-Cong.During one attack my post was approached by about 20 VC. I requested permission to fire and was told no. Permission to fire had to come from MacV headquarters and to my notion of thinking we would be overrun. I then reqested permission to pop a flare and again told no. I fired anyway and the flare only went so high and it came down in their midst. Their clothing caught fire and they shed their clothing and headed back into the darkness. I experienced several other attacks .

I was promoted to SSGt and was then on a mobil M-60 post. I served at a number of locations to include Korea, Little Rock AFB, Kincheloe AFB, Carswell AFB, one radar site and my first assignment was at a place called Caribou AFS which was with the Atomic Energy.I received a Top Secret clearance at that point. No I did not receive any better treatment. I am glad you created this site because the others (most of them) just want money. After the Christmas season I will make a donation. God Bless the Oath Keepers

PLEASE DONATE AND SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS
Oath Keepers is growing FAST, but like General Patton, we are outpacing our own supply lines. Your donations are "fuel" for our advance!

"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including his life.'" – Author Unknown

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. -- Thomas Paine

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” -- Thomas Paine

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

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

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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God

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.
