Active Duty Marine: “I WILL Spread The Word To Help Educate The People” | November 2nd, 2009

I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps when I was eighteen. I am currently still serving and still proud to wear the emblem of the Marine Corps.


I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps when I was eighteen. I am currently still serving and still proud to wear the emblem of the Marine Corps.

I took the oath to uphold our Constitution. The most important virtue held dear to our team, was that we would never leave one behind, no matter what.

I took my first Oath in 1972, at age 18, when I first enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. I took it again when I reenlisted, and a number of times in later years as I enlisted in the Army Reserves

I am a Army veteran during the Viet Nam era, 1963 – 1966. I was stationed in Europe for me complete tour. After coming home and going to college I became a fire fighter with CDF for 3 years the with the USFS for 2 years.

I served in the Fl National Guard for 8 yrs, 1st 111th Aviation Atk Hel. Air Warriors. I completed my obligation in 98.

As a military veteran and one who believes to this day the oath I swore to in 1970 was the most important promise I could make, I am proud to be a member of the Oath Keepers.

Doing nothing is doing harm to this great country. For the people to do nothing is the key to allowing America to fall. To enslaved your own family for generations ahead.

Being a Vietnam era veteran, I took my oath to defend the Constitution very seriously. I have never forgotten that oath and have always upheld it. Our country is facing many obstacles and our freedoms and rights are being threatened.

I have accomplished much in my life through hard work, a good education and the blessing to have been born in the land of the free and the home of the brave. To this day, in all that I have done, the only thing that instills me with more pride than my honorable discharge, is my wonderful family.

I proudly took my oath in 1969 when I enlisted in the Army, my country’s flag and all those who serve under it took up a special place in my heart from that day forward.

Served 80-86 US Navy. Stationed in San Diego, Ca. On a submarine tender USS MCKEE AS-41. The Oath has never been more important until now. These times we live in now require more Patriotic Americans to remember the oath and what it stands for.

I have taken the oath to protect and defend our Constitution, so Help me God! As I spent 25 years with our military, I continue to stand for our God and Country! And will continue to protect and defend!

Over the last four decades, I’ve sworn to that same Oath seven times during my two enlistments in the Marine Corps, enlistments in the North Carolina and Ohio National Guard, and twice as a Police Officer. I’m currently an active duty Police Officer in northeast Ohio.

I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran, in 1970 when i enlisted in the United States Army i found something that only the U.S. Armed forces truly understands, a brotherhood that will die for his country and the man next to him.

There it was, staring me in the face, an unlawful order. I asked the Operations Officer (who had assigned me the case) if I could possibly be reading the directive correctly because it seemed to require violation of the UCMJ and the Constitution.

In 1972 I received my greetings to help Uncle Sam out. It was not exactly what I really wanted to do at the time and the attitude in the country at the time about Vietnam and soldiers in general didn’t help things. However….

I am Rex H. McTyeire; Maj, US Army Special Forces (ret). I will hit 60 this year; and I am appalled at the direction of things lately, nationwide.
