Musician Kid Rock took a ride in an Apache helicopter on Monday, War Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed on X.

“Joined my friend @KidRock — and some of our great @USArmy Apache pilots — for a ride this morning. (More to come on that!)” Hegseth noted in the Monday post. “Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops. The War Department is wasting no time celebrating America’s 250th — home of the free because of the brave.”

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell noted in a statement, “Today, Army helicopters operated in the National Capital Region in support of a Freedom 250th community relations event.”

“As a part of that event, Robert ‘Kid Rock’ Ritchie participated in multiple troop touches with service members and filmed videos for Memorial Day, America’s 250th birthday, and for his Freedom 250 tour,” Parnell wrote.
