I walk without fear, without shame, and without remorse

USMC The oath I have taken lives on past active duty. Baptized by blood in battle for a free republic, our great nation remains the true beacon of hope for the free world. I am humbled everyday I am above ground that I have been part of the “forces which guard our country and our way of life.” My loyalty to our God, Country, and my Corps will be taken with me beyond the grave.

I have been blessed with the experience of making the bond of brotherhood with some of the best America has to offer. I would gladly lay down my life for my fellow countryman as quickly today as I would have 20 years ago. I carry a .45, a KJV Bible, and a pocket Constitution. I walk without fear, without shame, and without remorse. I never look away.

As Ronald Reagan (in my opinion the second greatest U.S. President behind George Washington)once said, ” Most men go through life wondering if they made a difference… Marines don’t have that problem.”

May God bless America. May God bless our armed forces (all volunteer), may God bless you Stewart Rhodes and may God bless my beloved Corps.

Semper Fi.

I pleged allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America forty two years ago.
I did not have the honor an priviledge to be born on this great country of ours. But i know first hand what it is to live with no freedom in my birth country.
So when I became a citizen I really meant it because what our country was founded on.
So I am ready to defend my freedoms and to die for them.
The people that live here and don’t like are country and our Constitution should leave and live in a socialist country, nobody is holding them back.
God bless America, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

2nd Radio Bn 1970-73. Whatever it takes to reclaim our country for the common citizen and take it back from the power elite we have supported for far too long, I will do.

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

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.
