Testimony of Former Military Officer and Peace Officer

Gentlemen, I am a retired Military Veteran (26 years service), EST officer, former civilian peace officer and currently working as an armed security officer and director of security for an elite private school.

While I well know that there are political hacks everywhere, even in our military and police forces, I have always felt that the majority of our troops, both officer and enlisted, held our oath to the Constitution as a sacred obligation. I know that I do even after some 15 years of retirement.

It is good to see a site like yours.

I try to keep myself as fit as possible and I also continuously hone my firearm skills. I am a serious student of history and I can tell you that what is presently happening in our country is a classic communist conquest.

I am proud of you men and women.

I am also an oath keeper and have been so from my youth.

God bless you all.

Robert E.

Welcome, Robert, and thank you for your service.
You and many others may be right – certainly, what is going on is not good for our Constitutional Republic. Thank the Lord, the People are waking up and, because of OK, no hypothetical wanna-be despot or cabal cannot count on the cops or troops supporting subjugation of the People.
It is my prayer that in a few years we can see that our watch was important, but not actually needed. With that in mind, I try to reach out to younger cops (as a training officer, I called them the “romper room patrol”) and ensure that they understand what we are about. Most of them were brought up under Carter or even Clinton; and even my education was imperfect.

Stay safe and stay sharp.

PS, make sure you check out your state group for friends and support.
