Testimonial of Marine, National Guard vet and Current Serving Army Reserve SGT Tomas A Dunn
I started my oath back in the summer of 1983 prior to my service into the Marines, since then my journey has taken me in to Nebraska National Guard and later into the Army Reserves. I never once forgot my oath I was just telling others months ago that all who served swore a oath. To defend the constitution. I will do what it takes to defend it. I never realized then back in 83 that this oath would take me until the day I die. But the bottom line is I am privileged to have taken that oath. It was probably one of the most important promises I have taken in my life. I could not make it to the Lexington Green. I wish I could have but I couldn't. But let me reassure you that you have my honor and continued service to which I re affirm. Add me to your ranks. I will uphold the oath. To my God, Country, Family and Constitution. Count me in.

PS - It is a honor be called back into service. If you need anything from this side of the country (Nebraska) let me know I will do what I can. Some are afraid of repercussions from even admitting such things but I am not. I am who I am like the rest of you, we are who we are, And I am proud of that fact. So I will gladly with honor stand beside my brothers and sisters to defend out Principles that we hold so dearly close.

Testimonial of Current Serving Montana State Trooper and Iraq War Veteran

I was fortunate enough to be told of your organization by a friend. I am a veteran of over twenty years of service to America. I have retired from the reserves (Marine Corps and Army) but work as a state trooper in Montana.
I have always understood my oath of enlistment to be an oath of allegiance to the Constitution and not the government. I am happy to know I am not the only one who feels that way. I hold no ties to either major political party because they have lost sight of the true principles of the Constitution. Our Republic was founded on the belief that everyone has an unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
As a fellow oathkeeper, I am interested in adding some of what I have to the coffers. I will be going to your website and making a donation to the cause of liberty and freedom.
I am most likely on some government sponsored list of anti-government radicals, so I am not concerned about them finding out my stance on this issue. Although there is always a chance my use of my freedom of expression may get me fired. But I will not serve a master that does not serve my Constitution. If being a patriot makes me radical than so be it, until our belief becomes the predominant one. As the Marine Corps motto says Semper Fidelis and I am always faithful to the Constitution.
Good day, ladies and gentlemen.

Army and National Guard Vet. Stands by his Oath

"I have long stated that my oath of enlistment to preserve and protect the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic."as well as "to keep true faith and allegiance to the same." did not expire upon my retirement.
In my 27 years of combined active duty and reserve service in the U.S. Army and the Texas Army National Guard I have served in the Artillery, Infantry and deployed to the Balkans as a Combat Engineer. I am a retired Sergeant First Class, and stand by my initial oath of enlistment on October 17, 1958.
This I will defend!

Army Reserve Officer And Cold War Vet Speaks Up

I enlisted in the Army Reserve National Guard in 1975. I was commissioned in 1984. The best years of my life was spent serving my country.
Lately, I have my reservations, but...I served proudly.
We are veterans of the Cold War. I have given my oath...to the people and to the Republic for which it stands. May the Lord guide us and protect us from further harm.
