My oath of enlistment was taken proudly and solemnly

My oath of enlistment was taken proudly and solemnly. I never regarded it as a mere obligation; I regarded it as a privilege. I still hold myself bound to those words I spoke nearly thirty years ago.

I will FOREVER hold myself bound to them.

As a former Petty Officer First Class in the United States Navy and Staff Sergeant in the Illinois Army National Guard, I am honored to pledge my support to Oath Keepers and stand in the ranks with true patriots.
