To all Veterans on this day, remember your oath

Today, more than ever, America needs its veterans to remember that their oaths to the Constitution do not expire. (Ken Harbaugh)

Women Veterans

And we won’t be made invisible by this administration or any other…Hegseth be damned. I took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

‘’It has been twenty years since I left the Navy. Thirty since I raised my right hand and swore the oath. Today is Veterans Day, and I will hear “thank you for your service” more times than I can count. I appreciate the sentiment. But our past service is not enough – America needs us to stand up and meet this moment, to remember that our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.” (Ken Harbaugh) To read the rest of his amazing post on being a veteran and patriotism from this Marine Corps Master Sgt see: https://www.meidasplus.com/p/a-different-kind-of-patriotism?utm_medium=email
