Never Give Up


I think I took my first oath in 1956 when I joined the Navy. Was an airdale, flying ecm missions over the North Atlantic. Then again when I enlisted in the Army and then numerous times with re-enlistments. Did eight years active and 20+ in the active reserve retiring in '96.

Also took the oath when I became a police officer retiring with 25 years.
I have always considered that oath sacred and will stand with others to defend it.

Welcome David,

We are proud to have you with us.
I am hopeful that we can Reach our Peace Officers and Military Before any of our Will Not Be Obeyed orders are ordered.
Help us Reach out to our brother officers and of course to the good souls in the Special Forces.

One of my favorite sayings in Latin ....
Si vis Pacem, Para Bellum
"If you would have Peace, be prepared for War"

Welcome aboard.
