Five thousand people came to see Sarah Palin at the College of the Ozarks, known as "Hard Work U" last night. The college got its name from the fact that most students attending the University work their way through college and graduate with virtually no debt.
This morning Sarah posted comments on her visit to her Facebook page:
My parents and I just had a wonderful time at “Hard Work U” – the school motto of College of the Ozarks. It earned that proud nickname because students there work their way through college and graduate with little or no debt. (In other words, a place after my own heart, and the hearts of others who worked their way through college and, like me, maybe took five years to finish because of work schedules!)
At tonight’s patriotic event at the college we heard some amazing personal stories of heroism and sacrifice by our military veterans in attendance, including members of our Greatest Generation, who we honored tonight. It was such an inspiration to hear their stories and affirm the principles that make this country great – faith, hard work, perseverance, patriotism, and public service.
All Americans need to hear from these true, proud patriots. May we never forget their fight for freedom. Their battles make the petty shots and irrelevant “challenges” some of us face today pale in comparison. I thank them for allowing us a healthy perspective and a reminder of what really matters.

Her use of the social media networking site has become a routine way for her to get her message out and is typically picked up by the mainstream media, or as she calls it, the "lamestream" media soon after her postings.
Her wildly successful book tour draws huge crowds at virtually every stop.
