As I write, we are on Day 2 of a new administration. We all feel the need to reflect and redouble our efforts to commit to honor, integrity, humility, and the pursuit of Constitutional freedoms and the responsibilities that come with those commitments. We will fully support our new Commander-In-Chief as we have supported those who came before. At NDTA, we all serve the Nation and support a strong national security posture, and are committed to that end. Some NDTA members are in uniform, others in coveralls, and others in civilian dress. As Americans, we all serve the Constitution. This is evident when those who immigrate to the United States take their oath. Their oath is to the Constitution. As citizens born in the US, we have the same obligation but never had to swear an oath unless we went into the military or politics. We require all who immigrate and become citizens to take that oath. I don't know of any exceptions. Our commitment to the Constitution is a commitment to be upheld by all Americans. And as we sail, fly, rail, truck, and work under the American flag, that holds special legal and social obligations-as it did for prior generations of Americans. And as it shall for future generations. |
