I carry a copy of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and the oath I took

henry Good Day, I write as an Oath Keeper who is a medically discharged veteran that believes wholeheartedly in the oath I took to defend my country’s Constitution and Bill of Rights. Currently I am involved in a few basic organizations that are attempting to effect change at a local level inside our government however, I can see our efforts are falling on closed ears and minds. Frustration is obviously one emotion felt by all of us about this but also the feeling of impending doom as the laws which protect our civil liberties and freedoms are changed, modified and removed almost everyday.

I see the dark clouds on the horizon and know the storm is coming soon. Examples are not needed as they are clearly known to all who are truly involved with being vigilant against this tyranny and injustice to our way of life. The atrocities being committed against us are almost unbearable as I watch the daily routines of our government chip, hammer and crush our rights and freedoms.

I carry a copy of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and the oath I took when I joined the U.S. Army at all times and I make every attempt to share the knowledge I have with others. Notwithstanding the names I have been called regarding my beliefs about the state of our nation I persevere and keep sharing the words of freedom, but deep down I can feel there is more that I should be doing yet do not know what to do that will have the most impact upon the people I share this information with.

I write with the hopes of becoming more knowledgeable about the options to spread the word of truth and freedom to more people and to do it more effectively than I currently am.

Regards,

Eric Levay
Former U.S. Army
Current Oath Keeper and Patriot for our Constitution

“I write as an Oath Keeper who is a medically discharged veteran”

Let me guess … it was a mental condition, right?

To “OK BOARD OF DIRECTORS:”

When is OK going to address the spam and rubbish that are posted to OK blogs? Your website is being taken over by posters who want to take you down.

To Mr. Levay:

My apologies to you sir for the mental institution patients and destructive spammers that are allowed to pollute OK blogs.

Welcome, Eric. I’d say your assesment of the situation is dead on.

As for the trolls and anonymous folks who complain about the trolls, they can only be a good thing. Blog trolls are clever creatures, where the spammer and complainer may be the same person. The troll may even be posting under SEVERAL names, to appear part of a movement.

Anyway, if our organization is causing even one troll to go to the effort of insulting us, we are having an impact. When they stop, THAT’S when we need to figure out why they are no longer concerned about us.

They may be annoying, but they are useful idiots.

Thank you for your service my friend. I wouldn’t worry too much about comments from this guy on the outside. He kind of reminds me of the group which demonstrates at soldier’s funerals. They would be much happier if they moved to Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, or Red China. We would be happier also, if they would leave this great country to people who appreciate, it and are greatful to those who fought for them so they might enjoy the good life even if ungreatful.

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.
