Most people pledge allegiance to the flag or salute it but they do not take an oath after serving. The military understands how powerful an oath is, it creates a bond between you and your nation. An oath is taken as to establish honor and intent.

Where do you stand?

As a National Guardsman you take 2 oaths, the federal and a state oath. I'd have to dig through my archive but I believe ours in RI is to the state constitution based on the authorization of the Governor (and as head of the militia, captain-general) of the state of RI

You're kidding, right?

Although putting "Foreign Military Service - United States Marine Corps" on your linkedin profile was a nice touch.

I am impressed, you found me on Linked-in. Now how about doing some real research about your "country" that you serve and protect. Don't question anything, just believe what they tell you, nothing to see here. Move along!

Yes, I did, in 1959, when I became a Naturalized Citizen.
