This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.
Now that is what you call stepping up - but he was not alone. And neither are you.
In memory of that sixteen-year-old boy who went to war so long ago and saw things no sixteen year old should ever have to see, and in the hope that his service was not in vain, we dedicate this song:
The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you will find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;"
Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
They shall never sound in slavery!"

KEY OATH KEEPER STATEMENTS
ABOUT OATH KEEPERS:
Oath Keepers is an association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.
Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial.
We Oath Keepers have drawn a line in the sand. We will not “just follow orders."
Our motto is “Not on our watch!”
If you, the American people, are forced to once again fight for your liberty in another American Revolution, you will not be alone. We will stand with you.
There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath. Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues. But you can rest assured that many others in the military do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution, and understand what that means.
The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers. We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops. To win that battle, Oath Keepers will use written and video testimony of active duty military, veterans (especially combat vets), and peace officers to reach, teach, and inspire our brothers in arms in the military and police to fulfill their oaths and stand as guardians of the Republic.
If you are currently in the military, are a veteran, or are a peace officer, please submit your written and/or video testimony on your oath, so you can help us win that battle for hearts and minds. Your submission may be anonymous.
Guardians of the Republic, fulfill your oath. Join us.

DEDICATION:
This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.
John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had better.
Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
John Adams, Enlistment Date December 10, 1941
Now that is what you call stepping up - but he was not alone. And neither are you.

In memory of that sixteen-year-old boy who went to war so long ago and saw things no sixteen year old should ever have to see, and in the hope that his service was not in vain, we dedicate this song:
THE MINSTREL BOY As Sung by the Late Joe Strummer
The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you will find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;"
Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
They shall never sound in slavery!"

Thank you Sir for your service to our country and standing up to protect it again, against the tyranny that is going on now. God Bless you and the United States of America and all Oath-Keepers.
Thank you Sir for your continuing commitment to the USA. Could you gents post the actual oath that you have taken, maybe we (civilians) could take the same oath, as a way of showing unity to uphold the constitution, to preserve freedom. Just a thought.
This is the Oath I swore July 1964 and is the enlisted oath.The officer's oath is a little different but not much.You can always look-up the Officer's oath on Google or whichever search engine you use.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
I am a member of the American Legion. I served honorably in the Marine Corps and I've been a tax paying born citizen of this country for 57 years. I don't agree with the law all the time but I would kill or die for my country in its defense. How does one become a member of Oath Keepers?
Stewart,
I worked on the KC-135A in the picture while stationed at Castle AFB, CA. I do not remember if it was still an A series, or had been converted to an R, but I do remember the tail number.
I was an Avionics Guidance and Control Supervisor from 1986 to 1991 at Castle AFB. I worked KC-135A & R and B-52G airframes while stationed there.
And yes, I do remember the oath I took back in 1980, and again in 1991 when I entered the 188th Fighter Wing, Arkansas Air National Guard. Although I retired in 2000, my ID still states I am Retired Reserve.
Paul,
Well, don't that just beat all? We'll post your comment as a testimonial, using that same photo. Anything else you want to add?

Welcome aboard ES/ Eddy.
Sorry it took me so long to get back here and answer your question.
The Fact is .... that the day you took that oath in the recruiters office to support and defend the Constitution .... [just before they sent you off to boot camp and turned you into a Marine]
Well since that day you have been an oath taker and IF you have never violated that oath by accepting and obeying any of the 10 Orders that we Oath Keepers have listed as Orders we will Not Obey then You are an Oath Keeper.
We're glad to have you with us.
For the Republic
