I am proud to stand beside a man of your service to our country. I am a US Army Viet Nam era Veteran with service in the Nuclear Missle field. I was stationed overseas when president Kennedy was assainalted, and have since that time experienced horror on a daily basis as a State Trooper, following my return to the USA. I remember the Master Sergeant of my own unit,and then I am aware of your unwavering commitment to our nation, and I know the kind of patriot you are. I stand proudly with you in defnse of our constitution and our way of life. And, Sgt, I thank you for your service to our country. God help those who would believe we are less committed than we are.

Saddly Tom L Massung passed away on December 28, 2011. I knew him for many years and most days he was hard to get along with, but I would not wish an early death to anyone, may he rest in Peace.
I was his supervisor for many years in the USAF at RAF Alconbury England where together we supported the RF4C Phantom powered by the GE J79 Engine. Tom and I actually started at GE Aviation on the same day in 1989 but I got laid off in 1993 and was never able to get back on as a direct hired GE employee. However I do work within GE and enjoy the work I do.

My Prayers go out to Tom’s wife, children and step children whom I’m sure will all miss him, may your pain go away quickly leaving happy memories of years past with Tom.

It is with sadness & regret to hear of the death of Thomas L. Massung, jr. It was a shock. My heartfelt sympathy to his wife, children & FB friends/fans. Although I knew him on FB only & briefly, he was an interesting character. I felt, he loved life, country, and those who were close to him–wanting to protect all of the above. It’s strange to miss someone you didn’t really know. May the glory of life open a window of peace and comfort to those who mourn his loss and may he rest in peace. I believe even with those who might not agree, tho many do; it all counts in the memory log of life. He was young when he became involved in wanting to serve & young to die. He seemed serious in many ways; but had a mind of his own, as we all do. God Bless him & those who will miss his him or his pinions. Amen
Mike Solon writes some caring words in his honest assessment, of someone he knew. And it confirms that people should know others care about them, even if they disagree. Amen.

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.
