Thanks, Doyler! That's is a great oath. I've often wondered what soldiers have to swear to. I thought, "Our President has an oath he has to swear to, and he is the commander of all the armed forces, so what does the soldier have to swear to?" These questions seem to pop in my head on holidays concerning the military. We had Veteran's Day yesterday. I am grateful for soldiers who serve to protect their country's freedoms and the peace.
