Active Duty Federal Agent and Marine Veteran

Marine_corps_flag As a Federal Law Enforcement Officer, I can tell you that many of us know why we are doing this job. We understand what our purpose is. We know it’s not to, “Blindly follow those that our Destroying our Country!” I wish I could say that was true of all, but that’s o.k., for those are usually the ones lacking discipline, moral values, and the like. They are politically minded and will be easily enough to spot. Do not Fear!!!

As a US Marine and as a Federal Agent, I have taken the oath more than a few times. Each and every time has been more memorable than the first. I swore to support and defend the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. For a long while now I have been thinking that this country is on the decline from the once great nation it was. I can’t stand bye and just let this happen.

I swore an oath to do what is right, and with that, I will not do what is wrong.

That is my Oath!

Welcome, Eric!
Thanks for your service – - as a 30 year retired “local”, I can tell you that the greatest contribution you can make is helping get other “feds” to think about it. I called the younger guys on my small Department the “Romper Room patrol”. They grew up with even worse misconceptions about the Constitution and history than I did. Keep after those kids!
Make sure to check out your local group for mission support. Stay safe!

Thank you for your service, and welcome Eric. Not sure what the feds will think of you joining Oathkeepers. But good luck. Folks like you join at great risk. That said…..it makes you seem even more credible. Spead the word, Marine, and I pray that your membership will NEVER become an issue. And if it does, you’ll know what to do.”Smart is the man who does what is right, while others watch. RIGHTEOUS is the man who does what is right, while no one watches.”

Thank You Eric for your service. God Bless you. Just started reading the testimonies and enjoying them very much. It’s nice to be in this group with true Americans like you.

This is as far as I got, but I see that a fellow by the name of Buck Turgidson who defaced the last four testimonies hasn’t got to you yet. I made a comment for him on testimony of David Kale on June 24th 2010, if you’d like to read it. Maybe he saw your present employer and skipped you.

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.
