As a Mother
Sarah Palin spoke to 300,000 people in Washington today.
Now, I've been asked to speak today, not as a politician. No, as something more — something much more. I've been asked to speak as the mother of a soldier, and I am proud of that distinction. You know, say what you want to say about me, but I raised a combat vet, and you can't take that away from me. I'm proud of that distinction, but it is not one that I had imagined because no woman gives birth thinking that she will hand over her child to her country, but that's what mothers have done from ancient days.Her speech ran only 17 minutes.
