USAF Veteran Testimonial

I am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force 79'-83'. I felt it my duty to serve my country and proud that I did. I took my oath very serious then and that oath never expired. I will defend the honor of my family who has fought in every war from the Revolution through Vietnam. We must not forget those 96,000 men who died in Korea and Vietnam fighting against the very ideology that now prevails in Washington. May their sacrifices not be in vain.

The best hope for mankind, The United States of America.

In January 1973, I raised my hand to the square and swore to Protect and Defend.

That oath is still in full effect. I will teach, I will reason, I will persuade, I will fight, I will man the barricades, I will take to woods and fight as the Patriotic Resistance. I will fulfill my oath. I will work with all my strength until my last breath to save this, the best hope for mankind, The United States of America.

God Bless you each and everyone

Note; We hope it never comes to that and part of our mission is to keep that from happening but we appreciate this man's resolve.

A Series of Special Events for this Oath Keeper

Fellow OathKeepers,

God bless you and yours in your endeavors to uphold your sacred oath to our beloved Constitution!

I too, took that same oath in 1977 and have yet to be discharged from it. It is so very uplifting to have finally found a place with so many like minded individuals as myself. For some 25 years I have felt alone with the exception of my immediate family and a FEW friends. It is so nice to have finally found a "home".

It is very saddening to find our once great nation in the state which we now find it. I have dreaded this day for at least 25 years now. I can still recall the emotions roused within the deepest core of my being when I raised my hand and took my oath. There have been very few moments in life when there arose such a stirring of my soul; when my first child was born and we brought him home... the very first time late at night that I looked down upon him sleeping in his crib at my young age of 23, the first time my second son cooed at me at the age of 41, the day I was awarded the coveted Eagle Scout award with my grandfather (an old Scoutmaster and WWII Navy vet) and entire extended family in attendance, and the moment my wife and I made our lifetime oath to each other. One finds oneself stirred from time to time during the course of a lifetime. It doesn't happen often, at least not with me. Perhaps the only other time that has so deeply moved me was when I found out that the aforementioned eldest child was to receive the NAM for "heroic achievement in battle".

We are a small family, only about 650 households world-wide carry our surname, but this same family has served our nation from Brandywine to Baghdad and I pray to the Host of Heaven that this remains so.

Faithfully,

Iam McFedup

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,

My Oath is as good today as when I first took it

I am a veteran. My Father is a veteran, and my Grandfather was a veteran. My wife (God rest her soul) retired from the Military. My son is on active duty now.

I took my first oath to defend the Constitution of United States of America in 1981.

I was Honorably Discharged in 1986.

We do not "un-take" or renounce our oath when we are discharged from active duty.

My Oath is as good today as when I first took it 28 years ago.

I will reaffirm my Oath to the American People now:

I, Mark Hale Mills, 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 the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

In light of events that have been going on for many years, I add this to my oath:

I refuse to obey illegal orders that are contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America. I will hold any person who makes an illegal order personally accountable as a traitor and in treason against the People of the United States. Any group, or organization which imposes its will, contrary to the United States Constitution, or the Constitution of the State in which that group is attempting to impose its will, shall be viewed and treated by me as an enemy force, declaring war on the People of the United States. So help me God.

In my wildest nightmares, I could never imagine discussion, let alone valid issues, in the United States of America that have caused so many of us to affirm our oath. Things we are forced to discuss and face today, would have been absolutely unthinkable in the America that I grew up in. I cry for my children and my grandchildren because they do not know what a "Free Country" is.

Tyranny is close at hand and is knocking on every door in America. Law Enforcement and members of our Military; Please make a stand!

Our Free Nation will not survive without your commitment to our Constitution and the American People.

LINE IN THE SAND

To all, I say LOVE is the true power and that the OATH taken by so many is a pledge out of care for what is good and right in this land we call America!

I myself do not wish for a fight and that I have called, emailed, pleaded, challenged to all concerned of their Responsibility and DUTY to the Oath for which they have pledged, from Police, Politicians, Soldiers (I am a Armorer), friends, family and all that are in positions to make a positive effect. Still the ones that are in positions of power will not do THE RIGHT THING or even the job we elected them to, by protecting our sovereign rights as citizens of this land & by promise of their oath to office,leaving us citizens with the last resort to ever come closer.

I am just a man that loves his country and sadly I must now start preparing to defend this land I care so much about; not from some invading Foreign force but my very own ELECTED GOVERNMENT. This is a fight NONE of us should want but to all that have taken the Oath, REMEMBER this!!

A lot of good Men & Women have paid with their lives to keep this land free from the like's of what we now face and remember that the Man or Woman standing next to you could very well hold true to the Oath that they have taken and so go ahead and commit acts of unconstitutional aggression against the citizens and you just might get a little surprise from the REAL MEN & WOMEN that serve our land and so to the one's of honor, I SALUTE you and to the ones that dishonor their Oath, I pity you for when you hold your child, think about the world you are giving to that souls' future and what you may soon be dying for, like I probably will, (at least my death will be with honor)!

(WILL YOURS ?)

A VET who cares
