Testimonial: He Will Stand in Honor of Those Who Came Before

It’s been 18 years since I took the oath and I’ve “obeyed the orders of the officers appointed over me” ever since. I have a terrible feeling that someday in the very near future I will no longer be able to do that. To me it is not even an option.

I will not spit in the face of every veteran who came before me and served and died to defend this countries freedom. I will take my children, my firearms and my freedom and do what our forefathers had the courage to do; stand up and defend the greatest country history has ever known from the tyrants that have been placed in power by the ignorant and uninformed.

The Constitution, is what holds our union together;

Hello all,

This is a wonderful forum for allowing those who vowed to re-confirm what they swore to do.

I remember that morning at the MEPS station in San Antonio where I was told to raise my hand and swear. I recall what I was sworn to do.
I remember the gravity, at least for me, of the event when I promised before God, that I would uphold the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
At the time I took no oath to protect and defend a government, a political party or an elected official. That stuck in my nineteen year old mind as something important and as something that rang true and wise.

It is still true for me as the united States of America, the country, is greater than the Federal government. The Federal government is not what must survive, succeed or be protected it is the people of the many States of our union that must.
That one document, the Constitution, is what holds our union together; lists
some of our God given rights and imposes limits on those, We the People, temporarily entrust with the responsibility of protecting us as we pursue happiness and protect our liberties as we live our lives as free men and women.
The Constitution is not a thing that can be legally altered, changed or ignored by the whims of a few.

All that being said I took the oath deadly seriously and now re-affirm that I will defend the Constitution. It hasn’t changed so neither should my resolve to protect the truths it contains as I have not been absolved from what I swore nor do I desire to be absolved of my forsworn duty.
So, if some would act in a manner that puts the Constitution in jeopardy they would become its enemy and therefore mine.

As I once swore “So help me God.”


Willing and ready,

Never, Ever Surrender

Dennis Patrick Cimino
Oathkeeper, U.S. Navy, 1973-1979, honorably discharged Vietnam era veteran.

I will indeed stand by; "NOT ON OUR WATCH", or in this case; "NOT ON MY WATCH.."

"there will come a day in the near future when all of us who are signatories to this renewed, reaffirmed OATH, will have to once again be called upon to put ourselves into harm's way for the survival of the U.S. Constitution, and the Geneva Conventions, and RULE OF LAW."

I will never, ever give in to the pressure to do otherwise and abandon these principles.

We must never, ever surrender.
