I WILL NOT break my oath

When I took my first oath to this great country in 1983 the words that stuck with me the most were, “..against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Back then I took it literally and I still do.

I’m fed up with the politicians who think they know what is best for this nation without ever speaking to one of us, the citizens. The LEGAL citizens.

I’m fed up with the United Nations and its machinations to destroy our Constitution and our sovereignty. The United Nations should either be dismantled or evicted.

I swore to defend this country and I’ve sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of Ohio. I WILL NOT break my oath and I WILL NOT allow this nation and its people to fall into the hands of others to become slaves.

America needs to get back to the basics that once made it the jewel of the planet. Maybe a good dose of isolationism is what we need to set our course back on track.

I will stand with my fellow Oath Keepers at any time and place I am needed to make this happen.

Sorry, I forgot to sign my testimonial. I guess I was caught up in the spirit of this great group. Let’s make America Strong and Proud once again!

Thank you for standing by your oath, Pat.

I noticed you mentioned “isolationism.”

You might enjoy reading this speech by John Quincy Adams from 1821:

I find it to be a very eloquent depiction of what a freedom-inspiring foreign policy ought to be.

Mr. Adams had the right idea. If only our leaders today would have the intestinal frtitude to place this policy in action.

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.
