“He’s been a hero and a friend,” American Texas Country singer Wade Bowen reflected on his sentiments for Troy Aikman. “And I had posters of this guy on my wall as a kid, so why not shoot for the stars and see if he’d do it? He’s a big country music fan and didn’t even hesitate. He said he’d love to be a part of it,” Bowen also disclosed. Bowen received the special honor for his new song ‘Friday Night’ featuring Troy Aikman. Seemingly, no one is as proud as the former NFL legendary QB. Thrilled at this moment, Aikman expressed his exhilaration on social media.

Taking to his official IG handle, Aikman, who spent 12 seasons with the Cowboys, congratulated the ‘Flyin‘ singer. At this moment, a former NFL QB sent a 3-word message for Bowen. “Congratulations, my man,” he mentioned in his post caption.

Impressively, Wade Bowen has been steadily growing his country music fan base from his home state of Texas for over 20 years. He has released several studio albums and charted numerous country singles on the radio, which have undoubtedly helped him build a devoted following. This success even earned him the title of Male Vocalist of the Year. And for his accomplishments, the former NFL legendary QB seems grateful.

“Last night at the @texasregionalradioreport awards was amazing. Your endless support means the world. God bless. Cheers!” he shared in his IG story caption. He also took the moment to thank the people of Texas for their support.

What makes Bowen’s song Friday Night even more special? The Texas influence right from the start. In this single, Bowen pays heartfelt tribute to the significance of Friday night high school football across America. The Nothin’ But Texas singer even brought in his NFL friend Aikman to play the role of a football announcer at the beginning of the track.

Bowen previously mentioned that he wrote a short script, and Aikman nailed it. Now, Aikman has returned the favor, giving Bowen a big round of applause for his achievement. However, that happened just after the Cowboys legend paid tribute to Jerry Jones’s daughter, Charlotte Jones.

Troy Aikman’s tribute to the Cowboys legacy

Jones’s daughter officially founded the Medal of Honor Museum on March 25. Moreover, Jones raised an impressive $70 million to build a tribute for the 3,507 American heroes who dedicated their lives in service to the country. Perhaps, at this momentous occasion, Charlotte expressed her pride as their vision became a reality. She also shared her gratitude for being part of this incredible ribbon-cutting celebration.

“Your stories will now come to life for generations of visitors, inspiring them to act with courage in their own communities,” she remarked.

Indeed, Aikman, unable to hide his emotions at this moment, shared a one-word message: “Amazing,” adding a red heart emoji and an American flag in his IG post caption.

It’s truly remarkable. The museum’s goal is to honor the stories of ordinary citizens who achieved extraordinary feats in service to their nation.
