Honor and the Oath

Sir,

USAF (1965-1969). E-4.

I don't do YouTube or FaceBook or any of those on-line trips.

However, I will honor the oath I took.

Respectfully,

James Chipp Jaroch

We, who have taken an oath to protect this document, can do no less.

I am William C Sankey Ret Msgt USAF. I was in the Air Force for 25 years. I have 2 tours in Vietnam. I volunteered for the 2nd tour. My brother was in the army and he was sent to Vietnam. I worked on C-123K. I saw too many army/marines going home in boxes. When I arrived in Vietnam, for my second tour, I contacted my brother and told him to tell his commander that his brother was also in Vietnam. I told him that if he did not, then I would contact his commander. He went back to the states. I out ranked my brother and I am older than he is. So he did what I told him to do.

When I took my oath there was no ending date. I feel that my oath is still in force. The Constitution is an important part of this country. Many have fought and died to protect this important document. We, who have taken an oath to protect this document, can do no less.

William C Sankey

A mighty Storm is Forming

I pledged it (The Constitution), I took it seriously and now they want me to forget about it. I guess the mistake I made was I read it.
I wrote this for a rainy day. I think that day is drawing near. God Bless those who would fight that others may enjoy freedom

The Blood of your ancestors is speaking.
The Blood of warriors from a once great Nation is raging in your veins.
Nobody wants this, but don't underestimate what it means or at least meant to be an American.
It was not an easy life and it was often threatened, but Good men stood their
ground for the Right to breathe free air.
Everything that so many have fought and died for now stands to be lost and their sacrifices in vain.
This can not be Men, be Men.
Stop worrying about who scored the winning goal.
Be leaders of your families. Leadership is earned.
Earn the leadership role in your household.
Protect your loved ones and everything that is dear.
Set your mind and never relent.
Men, raise good men. Teach your boys about the price paid for breathing free
air.Be strong, show no fear.
The enemy is great, but you are man.
Our warrior ancestors will follow us as if guardian angels.
Be right with God.
Seek His guidance and trust in the lord.
You are man. Women, Protect yourselves in our absence.
Comfort us, and offer us warmth. We need your support.
We need the warrior heart of woman.
Take care of our babies, they are our hope of a future.
Be true to us. Give us a chance to be good leaders in our households, for it will not be by conquest but by consent.
A mighty storm is forming. a storm of Patriots fighting with purpose.
Your enemy seeks to fulfill a mission.
We will show them a mission they will not soon forget and when we are long dead and buried it will be remembered what was done here.
We fight for our Sovereignty, that our children might grow and prosper in a free country and breathe Free air.
We will remind our foe that we have not forgotten what it means to be an American.
I love you all my brothers and sisters and I do not wish to see this end violently but if it is to be then let them know we will not shy from it.
Being American used to mean something.
So shall it be again.

Former USAF Security Police
Honorable

Active Duty Peace Officer Speaks his Mind

In 1963, I proudly swore the following Oath:

I, _______________, do solemnly swear 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 same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.

I was then commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. I wish to point out that there is one difference between the officer and enlisted oath, in that the oath taken by an officer does not include any provision to obey orders. Officers are bound by this oath to disobey any order that violates the Constitution of the United States. That, in and of itself is significant here.

Fortunately,I then went on to serve my country in several locations, ending my commission with a tour in South East Asia.

When I took the Oath as a municipal police officer and later as a deputy sheriff, I remained steadfast in maintaining my Oath, and convictions.

There was an incident which occurred when I was a rookie police officer which has always remained with me. And remember that in 1969, rookie cops kept the mouth shut, eyes and ears open. My squad was part of a skirmish line in the downtown area, to maintain control of a Viet Nam war protest. When we set up, I realized that I would be facing anti war demonstrators, some of whom were waving North Vietnamese flags. The same North Vietnamese who were responsible for the deaths of five of my best friends.

I felt compelled to say something to my squad sergeant and did so, stating that I did not think I should be "up front" due to my strong emotions regarding the war, and that I was unsure of my ability to maintain my objectivity. I was told to stand with my squad and did as I was instructed. I was to say the least, unsure of myself, since all my military training taught me to be aggressive and always on the offense, and now, I was thrust into a defensive, passive mode.

As the crowd grew and the protest became more intense, the protesters advanced on our position. As if drawn to me, one of the protesters, waving a North Vietnamese flag seemed to key on me and advanced, jabbing the flag at me. In the ensuing physical confrontation, the protester required emergency room treatment for his injuries.

I offer this as an example of what is required of us, even in the face of overwhelming emotional and physical obstacles which we must overcome if we are to remain steadfast in our beliefs.

We are now faced with a not wholly dissimilar situation. Our government is slowly and insidiously attempting to erode our rights, bring us into submission, and remove our right to self preservation.

I for one refuse to submit. I join with the Oath Keepers, freely, and without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.

It is therefore, up to us now, our military and law enforcement brethren, active and retired, to be the Keepers of the peace, Protectors of the innocent, Defenders of the faith. It is now to us to keep the barbarians from the gate.

With God's help, we shall not fail in this endeavor.

Miltary Family Stands by their Oaths

As a retired Major in the USAF, and a former enlisted man, I take the oath. As one of three sons of a veteran with 5 years combat time, I take the oath.

We three sons have served in 3 branches of service. Our father served in two wars, and we have served in two, ourselves, although we cannot compare our service with the hardship of our father.

As the 2nd of the sons, I spent 20 years in the Air Force. My oldest brother served 2 tours in Viet Nam and my younger brother served 6 years in the Navy in the bowels of ships. Our mother was also a veteran as an Army nurse and one of our sisters served as an Air Force nurse.

We have given more of our lives to public service than most families. We proudly gave of our lives not to the government but to the truths embodied in the US Constitution.

I take the oath that you have presented, without reservation. I know that my brothers share my beliefs. Our father bore wounds and medals and we carry forward his heritage as sons of this nation.

We place God-given rights above all, and as the foundation of all law; the only legitimate government is that which protects those rights.

May God in his grace preserve this land, and not necessarily it's corrupt government.
