A Sacred Honor:  Our Oath to Support and Defend

In 1776, an extraordinary group of men signed a document that affirmed their God-given right to "life,  liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  By attaching their signatures to our great Declaration of Independence, they, in effect, were signing their death warrants.  Indeed, the last line of our Declaration reads, "For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."

Many of these men, and many of their countrymen, the first generation of American Patriots, would die fighting for American liberty.  A decade later, their liberty having been won at great cost, our Founders further codified their independence and interdependence by instituting yet another historic document, our Constitution.  Please read further ... http://patriotpost.us/alexander/3192

"The nature of the encroachment upon the American Constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching.  Like a cancer; it eats faster and faster every hour.  The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue.  The people grow less steady, spirited and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their independents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity and frugality become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole of society."  John Adams, 1775

God Bless the Brave Men and Women who keep us Free!
