I am willing to go in harm’s way …

for my country’s sake. I’m a civilian now but my oath to defend her still stands. I love America. I am willing to take up arms to fight and kill people who try to destroy my country, whether they be Americans or foreigners.

I am armed.

I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense. … I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
