A newly single Kid Rock was also busy giving back this year. The "Cowboy" rocker met up with U.S. troops stationed in Kuwait and Iraq to spread a little good cheer and show his appreciation for the sacrifices they have made to fight for their country.
"This year for Christmas I wanted to make sure somebody was thanking our troops for their service, no matter what our views are on the current situation in Iraq," Rock said in a statement.
According to his Website blog, Rock traveled Sunday to three different camps in Iraq, where he sang and signed autographs for 16 hours, "old school style through s---y speakers and no mic stand," and had "one of the most thrilling rides of [his] life in a Blackhawk…with some real 'rock n roll cowboy pilots'!!"
"I am very proud and happy to be here with some of the finest men and women in the world on Christmas eve [sic]," he wrote.
"These troops bust their asses here and that's the real story, long hours, 140 degree summers and freezing nights this time of year, walking around with 60 or 70 pounds of gear, bathrooms and showers are worse than any ghetto I've ever stayed in… No matter what you think of this war, you have to support and respect our troops. I know all of us do, but maybe try and show a little more if you can."
