We will reunite all that has been separate and throughout the years in the brotherhood of our citizen soldiers. May we all share in the duties and responsibilities of bringing back our sense of security for ourselves and our families and all the people of this nation. We shall respect the rights of others and seek to quell all prejudices and extend the hand of fellowship to each other and may we all stand united against the oppressions and tyranny confronting us with all the spirit, will and determination as our forefathers once did when founding our great nation. For we are one of the last remaining symbols of America’s freedom. The Watchmen Of America
