The rock star, known for his patriotism and unapologetic support for President Donald Trump, delivered his remarks from the Pentagon behind a lectern bearing a DOW seal, with an American flag displayed in the background.
“Hey everyone, this is Kid Rock,” the video begins. “And this Memorial Day, we are remembering the sacrifice and service of so many who are not with us today. It’s a special day, and we are thinking of them. Once again, I wanted to say thank you, God bless all of you, for your sacrifice, for your service, keep on Kid Rockin’ in the free world. God bless you all.”
Kid Rock, whose legal name is Robert Richie, has become one of the most recognizable celebrity allies of the president, appearing at campaign rallies and conservative events, and performing at high-profile GOP gatherings such as the 2024 Republican National Convention.
The Michigan-born rocker has cultivated an image of blue-collar America, support for the troops, and defiant nationalism that has made him especially popular with conservatives and Republicans.
Kid Rock’s Pentagon video is the latest of entertainers taking part in Memorial Day tributes honoring fallen service members. Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Tim McGraw, and Lee Greenwood have also linked to patriotic themes and support for the military, while actor Gary Sinise has become closely associated with advocacy for military veterans.
Memorial Day, observed annually on the last Monday in May, is dedicated to commemorating U.S. military personnel who died while serving the country.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
