Gov. Palin Honors Troops at Denver Rally, Fund-Raiser

Raises $40,000 for survivors of fallen soldiers.

Governor Palin last night honored our troops at a Colorado Christian University rally and fund-raiser, in which $40,000 was raised for survivors of fallen soldiers. In her speech, Gov. Palin thanked Presidents Obama and Bush for the death of Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, the USS Cole Bombing, the Khobar Towers bombing and numerous other atrocities.

"Yesterday was a testament to the military's dedication in relentlessly hunting down an enemy through many years of war, and we thank our President and we thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory," she said. "Those who would kill in the name of religion must be sought...We are still at war with the brutal enemy that hates America and our allies and all that we stand for."

An overflow crowd of 1200 attended the fundraiser for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), according to ABC News.
