From Sarah Palin's Facebook
page:
Last night wrapped up a convention that was
very encouraging; so, thank you to all who worked hard to provide needed
inspiration while focusing on the U.S. economy. And for all the great
speeches we heard at the convention this week and tho
se
we’ll hear next week, I sincerely hope we as Americans, despite our
political disagreements, will respectfully remember our brave men and
women in uniform – for they are still in harm’s way so that we can sleep
in peace. Our troops in Afghanistan have suffered terrible casualties
this year. We don’t hear much about this lately. You never hear our
troops complain though, even when it seems like some of us safely back
home enjoying the freedoms they protect too easily forget their
sacrifices. But the moms wearing blue and gold stars remember. The wives
and husbands raising kids alone while their spouse is in a war zone
remember. The kids whose mom and dad can’t be there for birthdays and
school plays and skinned knees and graduations remember. Every American
who loves freedom should remember.
To our U.S. troops over
there, please know that we remember your sacrifice. We support and honor
you, and we pray for your safe and speedy return home where you are
loved and belong.
