As a Viet Nam active duty Navy Veteran (3 Bronze Stars), Afghan, and Iraq War Civil Servant, I hereby pledge my waking hours to the U S Constitution and the remaining service of my life as a freedom loving American.
When I was young I lived in a small quite farming community in northeast Ohio. Family was always priority. I was brought up to pay attention to history, always learn because knowledge is one thing that no one can take away from you, question every thing, and fight for what is right.
I joined the Army, when I raised my right hand to take the OATH I was repeating the exact same words that other great hero’s of this land had before me. It was the proudest day of my life. To “defend and protect” didn’t end when I ETS for the last time.
I served during Vietnam in the United States Army, I took the oath then and it still applies now, but in todays world of politics, I support the Constitution more then any of the politicians in Washington, D.C. Those politicians are making a mockery of our nation and spending way too much money
You have more in common with liberals than you think. We all have a problem with an over-reaching executive, regardless of party. We all have a problem with a cowardly corporate media, and centralized control, whether it is governmental or corporate (or some cronyistic hybrid).
I joined the Navy and when I raised my right hand to take the OATH I was repeating the exact same words that Audie and Elvis had. It was the proudest day of my life. To “defend and protect” didn’t end when I walked off the ship for the last time.
I am a Oath Keeper. I first took the oath over 40 years ago and can still recite it to this day. I retired from the Marine Corps in Dec 1991, but the oath is still and always will be in my heart.
I come from a proud military family. My father is an Air Force Vietnam veteran. My brother was in the 82nd, and my husband was in LRSD and the 10th Mountain Division. My aunt is in the Navy and she just returned from Afghanistan.
The oath I have taken lives on past active duty. Baptized by blood in battle for a free republic, our great nation remains the true beacon of hope for the free world. I am humbled everyday I am above ground that I have been part of the “forces which guard our country
I am a US Navy veteran of six years and served upon the USS Midway CV-41, Crash & Salvage flight deck fire fighter rescue crew. Also served as Military Police. I have served as a North Dakota Deputy and am presently a disabled veteran from the U.S. Customs Service
I am proud to be a member of this organization. By promoting the 10 principles we stand on we insure that this country remains free, as intended by our founding fathers. Its sad that we need an organization such as ours, but I am proud to stand next to my fellow Oath Keepers
My oldest son just enlisted in the USMC and my youngest is in his high schools ROTC program with the hopes of going Army Airborne. They both understand about where we are headed and are ready to join the Oath Keepers
I’ve joined the ranks of the Oath Keepers to continue that oath out of the service. Although I am a current police officer, I will continue to protect my country against all enemies.
I was born in Dayton,Ohio on Jan.22,1948. I served in the United States Army from 1966 to 1969. I did two tours of duty in Vietnam during 1967,68,and 69. I was attached to the 180th Assault Support Helicopter Company in Tuy Hoa
I teach Army Cadets and though I may not be old enough to have a serious say in a lot of my surroundings but I can make people think. I will make sure that I will remind my cadets of the oath they will soon take and what that means
I served 2 tours in Southeast Asia and have a lot of friend’s names listed on the Vietnam Wall. I spent my entire career engaged in, or preparing for, the fight against foreign enemies. I am retired now, but my oath is still active
I served in the USCG as a Radioman 2nd class during the Viet Nam war, and was stationed on a support (LORAN) station in the Pacific for 14 mos. from Aug. 1964 – Oct. 1965. I served my entire 4-year hitch as an RM, after completing basic and RM school.
