Nothing shows respect for the military like having a washed up rocker deliver the address.

    MAGA musician Kid Rock has delivered the Department of Defense’s Memorial Day speech.
The rocker has become embroiled in a bizarre bromance with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after they sparked fury with a pair of stunts using AH-64 Apache Helicopters.
