AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 25 -- Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, issued the text of the following speech:
Thank you, Roy (Grona, Quartermaster/State Adjutant). It is a real honor to be here in the presence of true patriots. Before I came in here, I had a chance to meet with your scholarship award winners. Believe me, I enjoyed a round of firm handshakes and direct eye contact from that group. I am encouraged when I meet young people like this. They represent yet another generation of Americans . . .
