Summer time is normally a time to enjoy the long days with a
fishing pole in hand making an effort to lure in an unsuspecting catfish in for
dinner. July of 1990 was a bit different for a then slick sleeve
Airman Moulton. He and 37 other men began a life-altering
journey. This journey began with an oath. While these are
just words to most civilians, these words are entry in to a family of selfless
individual who promises to defend our way of life. A pledge to treat thousands
of strangers as blood family.
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Over the next several days leading up to now Master Sergeant Moulton’s retirement, I will be posting stories of what I know of his service
to share with him on April 4th and years to come. Please,
share your thoughts and stories of my little brother. Feel free to make
comments on my post or send me your stories which I will put online for all of
our enjoyment.
Thank you,
Norma AKA Big sister. (Even if he is taller than
me)
