USAF Veteran Testimonial

Logo3USAF I am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force 79′-83′. I felt it my duty to serve my country and proud that I did. I took my oath very serious then and that oath never expired. I will defend the honor of my family who has fought in every war from the Revolution through Vietnam. We must not forget those 96,000 men who died in Korea and Vietnam fighting against the very ideology that now prevails in Washington. May their sacrifices not be in vain.

Thank you for your service. God Bless you and God Bless America. It’s unbelievable their are so many thousands of Americans who believe in the same things that we do. I thank Mr. Rhodes for founding this group. He sure gets a lot of flak. If there are any doubts check out the ‘Real Oath Keepers Website’. I don’t intend to advertise for
them, but I think in order to fight the good fight, one must know who the enemy is, and what they believe. I accidently found it when looking for this. This is a battle we must and will win, with the help of Almighty God! Hope to hear more from you.

I believe the oaths we took do not end with discharge from the service, if I stumbled upon a terrorist cell, it would be as if the war is still on & I’m still a patriot, what I would do remains to be seen yet it would not be nothing.
Since my extended tour in Vietnam upon coming back into our country I found a strange likeness, for it, but it was not the country I left to fight in Vietnam, to help those people who desired freedom, for, the physic, the spirit of my America was gone with the wind when I step onto American soil I became elated I was until months into my discharge. I can not believe the things our government has allow to happen & even voted on & for. Who are these people who inject into new bills these issues, what they put is starting to have an effect in the beginning of Americas downfall. The presented bills if you do not read them to the smallest print, then after the bill has been passed an atrocity become visible.
who pays the bill writers to insert these news off the wall things who are they? are they American or is the a new law that does not allow Americans to oversee these bills or these issues.
Sure seems to me a lot of anti-american things, like the pledge to out flag this is a tradition do americas go to others countries & call foul yet they come here & we can nolt even say the loprds prayer because it must not be our tradition. They make our government make us stop being ourselves. What kind of government would turn on their own, easy a corrupt afraid threatened government who needs the chicken shit
removed from their minds.
What can we do to get our rights restablished, now we have to remove all of our religeous heritage from any city state federal grounds?
I apologize for I think this is not the place to put up these problems that will lead to our destruction, the words may be too harsh or prejudice, then they would be hollering prejudice.
I just mean telling the truth as I interpret it, as I see it & warn of the consequences. So can I voice these issues here? or not?

Welcome, Joel. Thanks you for your service.

James, you are free to voice your opinion here, but it might be more appropriate as a seperate testimonial. We all feel much the same as you. As Oath Keepers, we have a very limited, non-activist strategy. It is not about what we will do, it is about what we will NOT do. Specifically, NOT obeying unconstitutional orders, in accordance with our Oaths.

PLEASE DONATE AND SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS
Oath Keepers is growing FAST, but like General Patton, we are outpacing our own supply lines. Your donations are "fuel" for our advance!

"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including his life.'" – Author Unknown

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. -- Thomas Paine

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

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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God

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.
