Sarah Palin Honors SEALs Aboard USS Iowa
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin honors SEALs aboard the USS Iowa last night at a dinner gala and auction held by the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation.
In a brief interview with Ruben Jay, she said,
“what an honor for Todd and I to be here. This is iconic of course – the history of this chunk of metal and what it represents; the history and the representative that it is of the virtues and characteristics of our military. It’s an honor to be here to help raise money for families of Navy SEALs and do whatever we can to show we appreciate this great country and those who have sacrificed so much for us.”
Jay asked if Sarah Palin would run for President in 2016, and she said, “oh, 2016. What am I going to be doing in 2016? Good question. We’ll see.”
Sarah Palin’s speech was most likely arranged through the Washington Speakers Bureau and there are no videos, live Tweets, or transcripts as this story goes to press. There were several good photos, however, from a variety of sources.
The SEAL-NSW Family Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit that offers charitable assistance to the families of Naval Special Warfare.

I remember in 1966 being o a destroyer out of Brooklyn Naval Yard. While in port, our ship was responsible for the Iowa and the Wisconsin, both part of the mothball fleet. In making my rounds on security watch, I was amazed by all the wheat. The 2 ships were being used as glorified grain storage warehouses.
