Air Force. I have since come to understand what that oath really meant--a commitment to support and defend the single most important document in the history of governments, where the consent of the governed took primacy over the rule of those who governed. A few idiots disparaged the reading as a propaganda move by the new Republican majority. But what I saw, Democrat and Republican alike, was our representatives proudly reading their parts, and perhaps for some of them, the first time they realized just how privileged they are to not only take the oath, but to participate in reaffirming the power of that wonderful document to insure our freedom.

Hear, hear. And (if I remember correctly) our oath contained no expiration date. Which, I guess, is why I started blogging in the first place. I'm too old to march, but I'm still young enough to type.
The oath never expires. Neither does the Constitution. With the internal attacks on our founding document, we have to be ever vigilant. Blogging is our small way of keeping the faith. Thanks for your service and your blog.
