Honoring Our Veterans


No words can express the gratitude we feel for those incredible Americans who've given so much to serve this great nation. Today, we honor you.

"We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."--George Orwell






















From Sarah's official
Facebook page:
In most of our cities and towns, you’ll see memorials to brave Americans – some in uniforms of wars from long ago – who defended freedom. If you look down at their inscriptions, you’ll see that they were dedicated by the mothers, fathers, wives and orphans of the veterans who gave all for their country. In distant lands across the globe, you’ll find silent fields of white markers with the names of Americans who never came home, but who showed their dedication to their country by where they died. Today we honor those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as those who served and came home forever changed by the battlefield.

Remember all the veterans who fought and sacrificed for our freedom today, and then please take the time to thank our brave men and women currently serving in uniform. We owe them so much.

- Sarah Palin

I agree I just wish they did not have to do it!
