The King of Country Music was joined by Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel, Dean Dillon, Jamey Johnson and others at the annual benefit concert for Wounded Warriors.
Strait praised his musical guests: “Dean Dillon wrote many of my songs, including one of my most favorites I enjoy performing, ‘The Chair,’ and Jamey Johnson wrote two of the songs on this latest album.”
Strait and Benson packed the stage with wounded warriors in an emotional and patriotic interlude prior to the auction. Cowboys, cowgirls, soldiers, entertainers, and fans removed their hats and placed their hands over their hearts as Benson led the ballroom in a devoted version of “America, the Beautiful.”
“The least we can do is support these brave men and women who fight for us and we are all humbled and grateful for their service,” Strait added.
