Hello and thank you to all servicemen and women. i salute you all. i am seriously considering joining the armed forces, maybe The United States Navy (not that it matters since all fight for the same great people) however i have a large family (not just immediate) and would need their blessings and support to join as i am joining to fight, protect, serve, and teach for Family, Community, Nation, People. The problem is is that i am worried that my family does not understand why i will join. Some of my family members think i am picking a side and others are not even brave enough to give support at all when i ask, they remain silent. When i have protected others in the past, i have advanced in the face of darkness with conviction and strength, however i am unable to do it without family blessings and alone i will crumble. Please, how can I convince them as to why i want to join. i love my homeland and i am attached to this land. i have fought off temptation and would have no problem sticking to principle and meeting sacrifice with honor. Please let me know what needs to be said and i will say whatever it takes. Thank you for your time.
