I was a Marine during the Cold War

Marine_Corps_flag I was a Marine during the Cold War. One night in my Lance Corporal (E3) days I was told report any unlocked safes in the Navy Annex Building (half a mile from the Pentagon). I found a Brigadier General in his office. After I assured him his safe was in order (because he asked), we talked briefly about guarding American secrets. Then I said, “I will turn in the Commandant of the Marine Corps if I find him guilty of a security violation”, and he knew I’d turn **him** in as well – and that the Commandant’s office and safes were part of my post.

The Soviets were foreign enemies of the Constitution. We now have foreign AND domestic enemies. (Well, I had domestic enemies then, too, but I didn’t know it.) But if, in the words of Benjamin Franklin on July 4, 1776, we all hang together, maybe we won’t hang separately.

**Semper fi** and God help us all.

Welcome aboard and God Bless You and God Bless America. The members of Security Detail In the White House today, are probably finding their hair turning grayer everyday, trying to keep the safes secure in that place, with the current bunch. Sorry it might not be politically correct, but I still am under oath to protect and defend this country and it’s Constitution from all its enemies, both foreign and domestic. Thank you for your service. I should’t be writing this on a welcome to you. Forgive me, but these are times that are trying to men’s souls. But with people like you, and all the Oathkeepers, and the patriots, under God we will be the victors.

Guys I have read that everyone is talking about the oath that you have taken. Then that means you know that militias come to the aid of the States. There is two States that neede our help. It seems that its to danages for people to wander off in their parks to far because its to danages. They have had two duties killed the two Sheriffs have a million dollars bounty on their heads,people geting shot on their oun land. These two States are AZ.,NM. There is a 35 mile long border area where durgs and people are coming across. Oh I have forgoten to tell that the two Sheriff have been asked to turn there heads on these crossing the areas. Now if you cannt stand on your our land without being shot,the Sheriffs have bounties on them and killing duties for going in the wrong area. These people that are on the higher ground to watch the trails that the durgs and people coming across our broders are travlening. So this problem effects all of us.

I am asking for militia men to come to the border. This is not going to be some mickey mouse operation, Iam asking for 500 to 600 men to come to this border. The logistics are going to be made for all to have a place to stay to eat. We are going to talk to the Sheriffs and the governors so we will be under there control. Howerver if any man gets shot at he will defind himself. I think that when that border gets closed the cartel are going to come at us with everything they and do thik some of there help will come form the Mexican miltary.

So guys think about this and do the rigth thing. Come to the aid of a State that needs us.

Thank you
God Blesses

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.
