“All Gave Some-Some Gave All”

I am retired Marine Officer (Mustang) and honorably served my country for twenty years, like many before me.

AmericanEagle Although I am a registered democrat I have to admit that in the past sixteen months this President, his Administration and allies, with the help of the Main Stream Media, have been systematically eroding our Constitutional rights, as evidenced by their deplorable actions that are clearly outlined on my blog post site, which I adamantly believe will ultimately destroy this great country as we know it.

I also believe that if they are allowed to continue without restraint their actions will more than likely cause civil unrest and/or an uprising, which may be their ultimate goal because it would allow this President to declare “Marshal Law” as a means of completely doing away with our “Constitutional Rights” and ultimately take over as our country’s life-long dictator.

Note: What follows is my military/civilian background and/or work history/experience:

Military:

Following enlistment was designated as a Private (E-l) and promoted up the enlisted ranks to the rank/grade of Gunnery Sergeant (E-7). After 12 years of active service applied for and was commissioned as a Warrant Officer (W-1) and subsequently promoted up the officer ranks to the rank/grade of Captain (0-3E). Military Occupational Specialties included: Artillery Man, Administrative Clerk, Administrative Chief, Ground Nuclear Weapons Administrative Support/Maintenance Technician, Personnel/Administrative Officer, and Ground Nuclear Weapons Officer.

Civilian:

Shortly after my retirement from the Marine Corps New Mexico State Government employed me for approximately fourteen years. During that period of time I was privileged to have been given the opportunity to serve as a Veterans’ Service Officer with the NM Department of Veterans’ Services for approximately four and a half years, which was by far one of my most gratifying and rewarding positions that I held in NM State Government because it gave me the opportunity to assist my fellow Veteran Comrades, their families and/or survivors in need.

As a result of my experiences both as a Marine and a State Veterans’ Service Officer, I’ve made it a personal goal of mine to be a life-time advocate for my fellow Veteran Comrades and/or their families because I truly believe in “Veterans Helping Veterans,” and will forever do my part to ensure that they get their earned and much deserved benefits due them as a result of their honorable and unselfish duty to their country as a current or former member of our country’s armed forces.

Currently I am honored to be a volunteer for two non-profit/non-partisan organizations:

NM U.S. Volunteers-America, Inc. (USV) (http://www.usvamerica.org/)

Homes For Our Troops (http://www.homesforourtroops.org/)

In conclusion: I am not a politician and thus am not known for always being politically correct because I call it as I see it. I served during the entire course of the Viet Nam War and lost many a friend there. I attribute their loss of life to some of our politicians that made stupid decisions during the course of the war so I tend to get extremely concerned and/or irritated when I see any politician, regardless of their political affiliation, sex, race, color (Marine Corps taught me that we were all green), creed, religion, or ethnic origin doing things and/or taking actions that I see as a threat to the safety, security or welfare of our Veterans, active duty members or their dependents and/or survivors.

Note: What follows is a recent blog post that shares my concerns regarding the current state of our Veterans and brave and courageous members of our all-volunteer military force under this President, his administration and allies-You Decide:

Question: Are we witnessing an outright attack directed towards our Veterans and members of our all-volunteer military force?

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

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.
