What began as a way to escape the streets of New York soon became a lifelong mission of purpose and sacrifice. Through every chapter of his life at sea, behind prison walls, and on the front lines of tragedy he learned what it truly means to uphold an oath: not just to a nation, but to honor, courage, and God.A powerful memoir of perseverance and patriotism, The Oath is more than one man's story it is a tribute to everyone who has ever worn a uniform, taken an oath, and stood firm in the face of fear.
