“Texas is a big place filled with amazingly talented, smart people,” Strait said,. “How’d I end up here?” Appearing at the conference’s 52nd meeting in New Braunfels, Strait called the honor “tip top” of his list. “Last year was a tough one for our great state,” Strait said. “I’m so proud to have grown up in the great state of Texas and so proud to be here today to accept this unbelievable honor,” he continued
“We’re still continuing to recover and with the help of the many loyal, kindhearted Texans, we will get these communities back on their feet again. It’s never surprising, but always amazing how in times of need, how generous the American people can be.”
