Soldiers Coming Home Surprising Loved Ones

vidcap This is a very bitter-sweet video to watch. I wish they could all come home safe, so that all home-comings would be like these – filled only with tears of joy. Whatever troubles this nation faces, however dishonest, disloyal, and craven the politicians may be, never forget that those who currently serve in our military are your brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, fathers and uncles. They are you. You are them. May God bless and protect them, and may He give them wisdom and courage.

For the Republic,

Stewart Rhodes

“A veteran – whether active duty, retired, National Guard or Reserve – is someone who at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’

That is honor. There are far too many people in this country who don’t understand it. — ”

Military family farewells and homecomings are some of Western civilization’s highest archetypes that I have been blessed to experience. They say it all. They fill our souls.

Breaking News***** O’Rielly just had on Southern Poverty Law Center on to discuss militia groups, but according to them. The real threat is the Oath Keepers. The one group of law enforcement and military that the Americans can completely trust. Was named above the militias as a treat to America. When this video hits the internet it has to go viral. Alex has to cover this like he covered the Obama false flag assassination. The main stream media are now telling the sheeple not to trust the one group we can trust. Especially when the s— hits the fan. Alex’s End Game/Police State is truly now open for business.

I saw the O’Reilly segment, and the weasel dispariging the OathKeepers is from the Southern Poverty Law Center, and he’s regular on all the whackjob MSNBC shows. Bill O’Reilly says he wants someone from OathKeepers to go on his show Thursday to give the other side of the story. I really hope someone from OathKeepers is able to go on and show this liberal weasel for the liar he is.

The segment was about the extremes of different movements including the Tea Party and how they don’t represent the majority. But I guess it’s acceptable to do that with this organization. The 800 pound gorilla in the room is that ANY organization comprised of people that have sacrificed so much and put so much on the line, people that love America who don’t want to see her hurt, that wants to protect the Constitution and the citizens from losing their rights is considered “extreme” by this guy. Who is he talking about when he says we might “turn” on “them”? Does “them” mean government officials trying to take away and trample on rights granted by the Constitution? It surely doesn’t mean the people we protect and serve every day. We seem to be one of the few organizations that have taken an oath NOT to do so.

Heard you mentioned on O Rielly and hope you can get a rep to be on it tonight as he asked for on the show to defend the OK and its purpose. Although the poverty law center carries little gravity, heres a great opportunity to set the record straight on O’Rielly, I wish as a non military citizen to be helpful to your cause but can’t due to membership restraints.

From what I have heard and read, FKs are the cream of America’s finest. America can never have too many of these Patriots and Guardians. I would go into battle with any of them. And we may just have to in the future!

I am so glad someone forwarded this link to me. It was awesome to watch the videos of returning soldiers. I was shocked to watch the Oath Keepers video above and can not believe the reports of what happened in Katrina/N’Orleans. But after the last year or so, I believe it, but question: can anyone figure out why FEMA would do that to those people after Katrina?? Thank you, God Bless our heroes.

bacame aware of you during SPLC ‘rant’ by Weasel Potok on o’reilly factor. following nights broadcast w/stewart rhodes was an eyeopener for so-called conservative o’reillys failure to grasp the constituition and the plain truth by stewart rhodes. our military can be tricked by govt to committ heinous acts. in 1966 we were pressured to sign ‘loyaly oaths’ despite taking military oath, and thought it was our ‘duty’

Veterans, you swore an 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; 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

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.
