Iraq Vet Keeps His Oath | August 12th, 2009

An oath given is never relinquished; it has no expiration date. I served my country from the Gulf War, through Kosovo and ending in two deployments to Iraq.

After finding oath Keepers I can reassure them that there will be those who will take a stand in their defense and the cause of liberty. I am proud to be able to stand with all of the other men and women of oath keepers who are all patriots

1962 was my first Oath when I became a Special Deputy Sheriff. My second and most solemn Oath was the one I took in 1967, the Oath taken at Induction into the US Army.

The oath one takes when entering military or a police force is very important and unless one understands the full extent of the oath the service you render is empty. You need to understand the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights before you know what the oath means.
April 17, 1986 I took an oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is now 23 years later and I reaffirm the oath I took as a soldier in the US Army.
I first took my oath in Mar of 1995 when I joined the Air Force as a Security Specialist. I have reaffirmed that oath twice through re-enlistment and
it’s coming time again to profess my commitment once more.

To be honest I didn’t know and it took years for me to figure it out. As it turns out for me it was and is the FREEDOM. The freedom to be part of something that is bigger than myself, the freedom to stand proud for something……
I inquire from each coworker and Marine that I have a working relationship, their intent to honor their oath and invite them to keep their oath and join this site. I challenge you to do the same.
I joined the Army in June of 2004, reasons being that I didn’t like college, but at the same time, didn’t want to be stuck working a dead-end job for the rest of my life, and that I wanted to serve my country the only way that I knew
how.

I took the Civil Service Oath of Office in 1975 when I went to work for the U.S.
Forest Service as a wildland firefighter.

When you pass the test and process the paperwork, you are required to take the Oath of the position, which is the same Oath as every politician and the Military. When I first took the Oath 5 years ago, I raised my right hand and pledged to Uphold and Defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies Foreign and Domestic.

I urge all of you to stand up and rise against the unraveling of the flag we have all served to protect and speak out against the flagrant disregard for the will of the people.
I personally have followed your progress via the Internet, including You Tube, and find, not very surprisingly, that given the clearly distinct dedication to preservation of your own territory and ideals, you will and should have a strong following and support also from many non US citizens.

Any order that goes against the Constitution of the USA is invalid and should be ignored by any American peacekeeper, soldier, and citizen.

I fear deeply for our country. The people on top can make even the simplest of things become so gray you cant tell where one line starts and the other begins.

What better group of individuals to protect the Constitution on the home front than those of us who have already served? What better pool of expertise? If we claim to be oath-keepers, we better be well versed in the document we have sworn to protect.
I have been in the United States Navy for 4 years now and I will
never break my oath.
