I am only One,

But I am One,

I can’t do everything,

But I can do something.

and by the grace of God,

I Will

(E.E.Hale)

As for me, I’ve given my life To Jesus again and having a deeper
relationship with Him. Oath keepers jumped out at me and I knew this will be part of my life.

I have spent 22 years as a cop, more than eleven of those as a SWAT senior operator and assault team leader. I am concerned about the totality and overtone of recent articles concerning SWAT teams in general. I do not have all the details of the unfortunate Tucson deadly force incident, but having been in deadly force incidents myself, I will never second guess the thoughts and actions of those involved. As you likely know, life and death decisions are made in parts of seconds… – Craig Meyer

Hi, I am not a veteran, I was 4F for the Korean Draft, so never went. I am 79 years young. I am 100% for the Oath Keepers, & appreciate what you are doing to keep the citizens of the USA safe. Keep up the good work!!

The oath I took was from my heart. I love my country when I repeated the oath for the first time and I still do. When I mustered out, I did not resend my oath. I will cherish, honor and defend, The Constitution Of The United States Of AMERICA, till the day I go home to be with my HEAVENLY FATHER. SO HELP ME GOD.

I have taken the oath to the Constitution on three different occasions in my life, I have felt the overwhelming pride, the overpowering sensation of belonging to a sacred, select, and solemn body of men and women who have done so over the course of history in this country, which forever binds us through the centuries for time immortal.

I have felt the sting of the slings and arrows of the foes who rise against this great republic, cast by those who would wish to see her utter destruction both from without and from within. This solemn oath is to me a sacred honor that few can live up to when storms rage, but many affirm in times of sunshine and clear skies.

It was 2003 when I took my first oath. I can remember the pride I felt that day and the overwhelming feeling of responsibility and obligation that came after swearing in. I had just enlisted into the marines just after 09/11. I went infantry option and knew what my near future had in store for me, which added a bit more weight to my oath. I later took another oath and began my career in law enforcement. My wife and I were blessed 18 months ago with an amazing little boy who is my world. Our forefathers were great men who had an insightful vision of this great country and wrote the constitution for the people. It is our commanded duty to ensure it is not infringed upon to secure a sound future for our children. I hold these beliefs true to my heart and I am glad I found people who share that same belief. Thank you all for having me and I look forward to establishing strong new friendships.

I’ll never forget the day I took the Oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic it sent shivers down my spine and to this day I will fight and defend our Constitution!!

In America today our freedoms are being lost at an alarming rate and its time to make that stand for freedom and say no more !!

Semper Fidelis, Mike

My new tattoo, it’s still healing. The band will be gold in color (because I believe that the band around my ring finger is also an oath). My husband and I are vet’s, that believe in the oath we took when we entered the Army… Quartermaster delivers.

I am a senior citizen, a Veteran, a college graduate with some Law training, a security background, a founding member of the Oath Keepers and a Concealed Weapons Instructor. Many years ago I swore an Oath to My Country, my God, my Flag and My Constitution. I have tried for 75 years to live up to that Oath. It is a shame that our elected officials do not honor the Oath that they have taken.

If called on today, I would give my life to protect the President and his family, but I do not respect him and what he is doing to our Country. In closing I can only say God Bless the United States of America.

When I returned from Vietnam, not long before I was released from active duty so it had to be early 1971, I was sent to “Riot Control School.” One of the things that my instructor said that stuck in my mind for all these years was, “They are your fellow Americans. Use the minimum force necessary, but all that is necessary.” In retrospect we would have probably done it.

The point of the story is that the threat of our own military being turned on the American people that the founding fathers feared is a well founded fear. What is going on now is not new. Forty years ago I was indoctrinated to do just that. I’ll bet it was happening before my time too.

Even though it was 48 years ago that I took my first Oath, I remember it like it was yesterday. I had tears running down my eyes, I was so proud to take up the cause of defending our country. Our flag, constitution and freedoms are slowly being taken away. I now pledge my oath to defend the constitution for the sake of my children and grandchildren. Count on this old dog with a bit to stand with you. I’m proud to be a part of this organization and will spread the word to others.

I enlisted in the US Army right after high school in October 1971 served 2 years active and 1 active reserve. I remember going to the affees station in Richmond Virginia with a bus load of other guys and will never forget my oath to protect my country.

My dad served in the Navy in the pacific during world war 2 and made it home his brother, my Uncle Fred never made it back from the Army in Europe. My family has always served in the armed forces of the USA My cousins and one of my twin daughters, Jen is an army vet. they are both currently married to soldiers of the US Army and both have served in Iraq and one is currently serving in Afghanistan.

My name is Janis Petta and I am an Oath Keeper Member and my husband is an Honorary Member of Oath Keepers. His name is Mario Petta a veteran of World War 2, served in the South Pacific with the Army Air Corps(then) in 1943, 1944 and 1945 based on Guadalcanal. His team flew on PBY’s picking up USA pilots shot down by the Japanese and flying them to hospitals in New Zealand, Australia and the Solomon Islands.

Mario is now 88 years old, almost totally blind, wears state of the art hearing aides, mostly mobile by walker or wheel chair. He has been life sustaining on oxygen since September 2, 2009 for the rest of his life. He loves his country, its flag and all those who have laid down their lives for the USA since the beginning of our nation. Now he serves his country, as a member of the Valley Forge Patriots of the Tea Party (Movement).

My original testimonial still stands no new information that i can think to add, except….I just upgraded to a life membership. I believe it is paramount that all who can afford the lifetime membership become one asap. It is not to say see what I can do, but to say see I care about my country enough to give up a couple of items a month to pay for the membership.

If the Commander and Chief gets his way we will not have an Oath Keepers or any other organization to stand up for those of us who are the everyday common man and woman. Our freedoms will go away like so much dust in the wind. So please if you can become a lifetime member. I remember my oath in 64 as a Marine recruit. I also remember the last time I took the oath for the St. Clair Cty Sheriff’s Dept. Same oath. It is as pertinent today as it was in 1964 and as it will in 2064.

I find myself asking what I can do; what I am willing to do, and how far I’m willing to go to do it. Only time will tell, but I know that I must do something to further this movement and get the word out to other vets in my area.

America is under assault. Most of us have watched this assault for years, and thought that elections were enough to beat back the rising tide of statist authoritarianism. Then Hurricane Katrina happened in 2005. We were wrong!
