A constant reminder of my Oath | November 28th, 2009

I placed my Oath on the wall of my office (I am in county government)so that it could be seen by everyone entering and so that I would be reminded throughout the day of my Obligation.


I placed my Oath on the wall of my office (I am in county government)so that it could be seen by everyone entering and so that I would be reminded throughout the day of my Obligation.

This is why I joined the Oath Keepers. I will continue to uphold the Oath that I took as a young woman of 22, so that future generations of Americans can have the opportunities and liberties that I have enjoyed.

I took the oath of enlistment seven years ago, and the words I said at the time just seem like words they made us say it didn’t hit home with me at the time, seven years, two combat tours in Iraq and two presidents later I see it very differently.

I swore to defend the Constitution of the United States and no man has the right to take that away.I stand with the Oath keepers on my Honor
I joined The Guard in 1978 right before graduating high school. At the time I really wanted to do something to help this country and I also wanted to jump out of airplanes.

I was in desert shield and desert storm. I took an oath to serve this country and honor our constitution, and I still believe in that oath today

After my second honorable discharge and raising three beautiful children I joined the American Legion, AMVETS,VFW, 40&8, Patriot Guard,started American Legion Riders in my county( Kosciusko, Indiana) and am very active in the above as past commander and still ALR Director and Post Adjutant

Just a few days ago I heard about Oath Keepers. I came to the site not sure what to expect and was careful to check it out as best I could. What I found gave me hope and encouragement. Many other Oath takers were standing up and saying enough is enough. The Oath was more than “just words”. It was, in fact, for many like myself and my friend, a solemn obligation to which we had pledged “our lives, our fortunes, and our SACRED HONOR” to keep.

When I enlisted in the military, I knew that the Oath came with an obligation. That obligation was and is to defend the Constitution of The United States of America from all enemies foreign and domestic.

To me it’s a no brainer. I took an oath as a police officer. I made a promise (gave my word, or how ever you want to say it). That means something. Often today a promise means less that the breath that gave it or the paper that it was written on. That is not how I was raised. My dad was a vet (served in Korea) and lucky for me, he taught me what it means to be an American and a Patriot.

In the event of an “emergency” I suppose the possibility exists that some bureaucrat somewhere may attempt to issue unlawful orders in regards to our airports and the aviation system. I will not obey any unlawful order or directive that ultimately seeks to infringe on the rights of the People.

I am a 24 year retired Viet Nam combat pilot/officer of the USAF. Took an oath to uphold the constitution when I received my commission and still believe in the constitution.

I am so proud of the fine folks of this Nation who have decided now is the time to draw that line in the dirt against those publicly elected and privately behind the scenes who wish to subvert our Constitution and our basic rights of Liberty and Freedom.

Long accustomed to foreign enemies, we now face a new challenge. To meet it effectively, we must close ranks and firmly remind our elected leaders that they are bound by the same oath.

I took my oath 37 years ago and just because I am retired the oath isn’t. This organization is a God send as I have been feeling the same way as the other members

I first took the Oath in 1986 at the age of 18 when I joined the USMC Reserves, at the time I did not really know how important it was. I again took the Oath in 1990 when I was hired as a Law Enforcement Officer. I am now a retired Detective Corporal from a large Department in New Jersey.

I will no longer be quiet. I am a tax paying citizen, veteran and patriot to this country. I’ll keep my Money, Guns, Liberty, Freedom and exercise my right to vote. I will abide by the ten orders we will not obey. I will remain steadfast to my oath.
