Every man in my family has served in our military since the start and has continued to do so to date. As a young boy I knew, and couldn’t wait, to take my oath and serve my country.
As a member of the 82nd, I had to become a member of a team. I had to learn to rely on the guy next to me and him on me. To become part of something much bigger than myself. The best friends I have ever had were the ones I served with.
I am a proud 1st generation American on my mother’s side, who is a survivor of a concentration camp; and a descendant of aboriginal Americans (Cherokees) and original Virginia colonizers
I took the oath to protect the Constitution for the first time in 1961, the was when I joined the Marines just as my father did during WWII.
I joined the US Army in 1964 and graduated from The Infantry School as a 2d Lieutenant of Infantry mid year. Served 3/8 Infantry and 3/12 Infantry, 4th Infantry Division. Served in Vietnam as MACV Advisor, II CTZ, 1969-70
I have sworn an oath to defend our Constitution, to bear faith and true allegiance to the United States of America and the state of New Hampshire. I will not participate in unconstitutional acts against the people of my state or my country.
My Family members have served and defended this country in every military action since the civil war, up to and including oper. Iraqi freedom. If you look behind yourself you won’t find me I’ll be in front leading.

Not at the cost of my personal right to choose what type and quality of my health care and of my doctor. I do not want a national ID that can track where and when i get health care.
I took an oath in 1968, I have never recanted, and was never relieved of the burden… it is still mine, and, it is still an honor.
I come from a military background, having Grandfathers that fought in France and North Africa in the British Army, a father who served in the Royal navy, a sister who served in Northern Ireland and me who crossed the pond, ending up in the US Navy.
I enlisted in the United States Navy July 1973 as a three by three service and re-enlisted just after two and half years with a total of 6 years and 7 months active duty.
I first took the oath on 24 Nov 81…I was 18 then. I have taken the Oath 3 more times due to reenlistment in the US Army. I am currently Active Duty Army. The second time I took the Oath was after our country was attacked on Sept 11,2001.
