I will proudly stand with my brothers with my last breath.

I have been in the service of my Country for over 30 years. When I took the oath of service, to protect and defend my Country and the Constitution of the Republic of America.

I clearly understood that means giving my life.

I stand firm on that oath to defend our Republic against all enemies both foreign and domestic. I will proudly stand with my brothers with my last breath.

Active Duty Serviceman Gives His Promise to the American People

I'm on active duty, and I do not need to be reminded of my oath.

I took it of sound mind and without reservation. I fully understand what it may entail. The domestic enemies of the United States will never be its people. It is infinitely more likely that it will be its government, since only powerful institutions and the government itself have a vested interest in attacking, perverting, and circumventing the U.S. Constitution.

No unconstitutional order shall be obeyed by myself or those under my authority as long as I am able to resist. I'm confident that the U.S. Military is full of individuals similar in mind and resolve as myself.

We are the Armed Forces of the Republic, and not a tool for oppression.

I can only offer the American people this solemn promise: I would die before I become their enemy.
