"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...." If you have said these words as part of your oath of allegiance into one of the branches of the American armed forces, Thank You.

Welcome to our Clark Family in America web page honoring our (deceased) descendants and the spouses of Clark descendants of Samuel & Elizabeth Clark of Ireland then Providence Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania who served the United States in our armed forces. Clark family descendants have honorably and courageously served in the military from the Civil War to the present.

We thank you now and forever for keeping America free. You are our heroes and are an enduring example for all Americans.
