 I never really thought in the very beginning that I was going to receive backlash and it didn't really dawn on me until I made the decision. And I started to think about what kind of backlash this might bring up, not only for myself, but members that I led as a first sergeant, because I've had a lot of people that asked me what they should do. My number one response was you have to search inside for whether this is morally right for you and whether you believe in the reason why you serve is right for you and your family.
