Looking back, I would change nothing. The Oath I took, to defend the Constitution, means a lot to me. Upon retiring from the military, I was never asked to rescind my Oath, never asked to stand down, never asked to just walk away from my convictions.
I spent 3 years in the US ARMY and received an Honorable Discharge. I served from 1966-1969 and spent 2 years in the Far East. Working out of Okinawa, I did TDY tours in Vietnam, Korea and Guam. I have always been a Patriot and My son is now serving with the 3rd INF. and just finished his 2nd tour in Iraq.
Thank you for organizing what I have said since I completed my contract with the U.S. Army in June of 1990. I took an oath to defend my country against all enemies both foreign and domestic. At no time did I say that my obligation would be fulfilled with the completion of my contract.

I took an oath in 1955 to defend the Constitution of the United States when I became a LEO. I took another oath in 1969 in Idaho when I became a LEO in Idaho. I took another oath in 1979 when I became a LEO in Oregon. These oaths were pretty much the same and mean a lot to me.
I have no intention of being silent witness to any attacks upon our republic I have an obligation to my only son – that he may grow up with the knowledge of how things should be, how they are now, and how they used to be.

I served in the US Army in Vietnam from July 1967 until October 1968. The oath I made when entering the Army is more important to me today than the day I first raised my right hand and swore to protect the Constitution of the United States of America.
I uphold that Oath as best I can. I deliver Pocket Constitutions to every child in my children’s elementary school. I am very lucky to have a school available that not only gladly accepts my donations, but they use them in classes to teach the students about what the Constitution means for all of us.
