Committee to Support and Defend
The oath has no discharge date.
The mission didn’t end when your service did. The Committee to Support and Defend recruits, trains, and deploys veterans to defend the Constitution — and every member stands in the formation.
Our magazine — Issue No. 1 is here
The Constitutional Defender
The oath doesn’t expire when you hang up the uniform. Fifty-six pages built on that idea.
Constitutional education without the legal jargon, current events read through timeless principles, and veterans still serving with ballots, volunteer hours and leadership. Read the whole issue free in your browser, or take the PDF with you.
Why we exist
We recruit, train and deploy veterans to save our republic, as they continue to honor their oath to support and defend the US Constitution.
We are a strong voice for military members, past and present.
We encourage community service, leadership, and participation in elections.
We educate and assist during elections to safeguard the votes of all military.
We show up. Because the oath has no expiration date.
When I was a Battalion Commander, I did not need people who agreed with me from a distance. I needed people who would stand in formation, shoulder to shoulder, ready to execute the mission. The Committee to Support and Defend operates on that same principle.
— LTC Allen B. West (Ret.), Executive Director

Take action
Sign the petition to secure our elections.
You swore to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Protecting the ballot is part of that oath.
In our 250th year, elections still fail to be secured against fraud and foreign interference. We are delivering this petition — signed by veterans, their families and their friends — to policymakers at the federal and state level. It takes a minute, and it costs nothing but your name.
Election Day · Tuesday, November 3
The oath didn’t expire. Neither did the duty.
Veterans swore to support and defend the Constitution. Yet as LTC Allen West puts it, we are among the most woeful groups in voter participation in this Nation.
Nobody is asking you to stand a post overseas anymore. What your Republic asks now is simpler: show up. So issue yourself an order.
- Confirm your registration today.
- Plan when and where you’ll vote, and what ID your state requires.
- Vote early if your state allows it, so no Election Day surprise can take your vote from you.
- Bring three. Call three fellow veterans and make sure they vote too.
