September 11: Today, Remember, and Honor, the Fallen. And Remember to Honor Your Oath

Today, In honor of those who fell on September 11,2001, Oath Keepers is taking part in a memorial ceremony at the Washington Monument in Washington DC. The event is sponsored by Unite in Action. Oath Keepers will also take part in Unite in Action’s March on DC and rally today.

As part of today’s events in DC, retired Chief of Police Celia Hyde, a member of the Oath Keepers Board of Directors, will conduct an oath renewal ceremony, so that the current serving and veteran military, police, and fire-fighters in attendance may renew their oaths to defend the Constitution.

Today, we should all remember the courage and devotion to duty displayed by the New York City police and firefighters who ran INTO the burning towers on 9-11, when every instinct of self preservation was to do the opposite. They did so as a matter of duty and out of love and concern for those still inside.

They were willing to risk, and give, their lives for their fellow New Yorkers – their fellow Americans. They are an example of what is best about America and examples of what it means to be a guardian of the lives and liberties of the people.

We should remember their example since it shows that America is still the “home of the brave.” NEVER doubt that the current serving military, police, and fire-fighters have courage and honor. They do! We need only ensure that they have the necessary knowledge of their oath and of the Constitution to know what is right. With that knowledge, combined with the courage and honor they already have, they will do the right thing – as generations of brave Americans before them did.

We still have it in us. Remember that. Today, honor and remember them, and remember your own oath and your own duty.

For the Republic!

I also remember those New York City police and firefighters — those who died and those who survived as they unselfishly performed their duty.

I would encourage all OK to contact their representatives and tell them that you expect that all necessary funds be provided to treat and take care of those police and firefighters who have health problems as a consequence of 911 and the cleanup work.

To the Republic of the United StateS

To all OK who “DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION”
–the entire Constitution

PS to Stewart Rhodes:
Thanks for founding OK.

HONORS TO THE FALLEN …..
At last the devil and death …
I know I should not celebrate the death of a human being, but Osama had very little human. Have you suffered, you cry, your heart is set on the twin towers crumbled. But the Day of Judgement has finally arrived.
Long live the USA and God bless you all.

Veterans, you swore an 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; 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.

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.
