But our heritage is quite clear.

And it really is.

And we're very independent.

We're very unique.

And we're very special.

And as you mentioned the other night when I was there, I mean, our brand is second to none.

It really is.

Everyone in the world knows Texas.

There's nowhere you can go on the Earth planet that they haven't seen, like you said, Western movies and things like that.

Hollywood made Texas famous.

But let me tell you, the Alamo is real.

San Jacinto is real.

Those are battles.

And then, you know, I like pointing out to people real quick that that wasn't they weren't necessarily military battles at the Alamo and everyone was slaughtered.

We all know what Bowie and Crockett.

We know that this were battles fought by civilians, civilians that took up arms against tyrants and they were slaughtered.

But that's very unique.

That's what the main thing that makes these battles that Texas was an independent country.

We declared independence and we had our own currency.

We had our own president for over a decade before we voted to join the union.
