We are excited to see this rock star get the chance to be a part of such an important event. Kid Rock has always been a huge supporter of our veterans, even releasing a song specific to honor our military, “Let’s Ride.”
Kid Rock penned this tune as a soundtrack for the serving military men and woman as they undertake their dangerous daily routines.
“I wanted it to be an anthem, something for the guys to get pumped up to when they’ve got to go out and do these horrendous jobs,” Rock told MTV News.
