Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
said every American should be outraged at the scandal in the Veterans Administration in which at
least 40 veterans reportedly died after being placed on secret waiting lists.
She asked Americans to "be determined to right the wrongs our vets face
today."
"Please remember our active
veterans today as well as those who have fallen," Palin wrote in a
Memorial Day Facebook post. "Every American should feel outrage at any
injustice done to our veterans seeking what was promised them when they
volunteered to defend the homeland. They are owed the health care they have
already paid for. Friends, be determined to right the wrongs our vets face
today."
Palin also asked Americans to
"never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day":
Enjoy this long, glorious spring
weekend, and please never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. We set this
time aside to honor the men and women who for generations have ensured our
safety and our ability to spend a day like this in freedom and peace. They are
more than just names on gravestones in national cemeteries and battlefields.
They were someone’s child, sibling, spouse, parent, and friend. As President
Reagan said, on Memorial Day we remember “those who were loved and who, in
return, loved their countrymen enough to die for them.”
Thank you, God, for instilling the
passion for freedom in these patriots. Thank you for equipping America with
the resources to defend the liberty You have given us.
Palin then wrote that "Lincoln knew our military heroes as 'those who gave the
last full measure of devotion' for our freedom; let’s continue Lincoln’s legacy of respect and always keep
faith with our veterans."
"They, more than any, deserve
our country’s unending respect and gratitude," she said.
Last week, Palin blasted the Obama
administration and Democrats for treating illegal immigrants better than the
country's veterans and said that "any politician siding with this tragic
reality is unfit for office,"
"Compliance with these
un-American acts in this Obama Era deserves the scorn of citizens; we will do
all we can to oust those who follow the Obama/Pelosi/Reid lead on disgusting
treatment of our military and red carpet treatment of their law-breaking chosen
ones," Palin wrote on her Facebook page.
