A wounded war veteran and his wife received an emotional surprise when entering a model home and discovering not only their friends and family inside, but musician Kid Rock as well.

Standing before Sgt Davin Dumar and his wife Dana, the musician greeted the couple as they entered what will be a mirror image of the home he plans to help build for them.

You know, he’s OK that Kid Rock, I don’t know too much about him, but I think his heart is in the right place.

Wish more people would do this for our wounded and disabled veterans.

I liked Kid Rock before most of my peers knew who he was. I was channel surfing late one night and came across this crazy guy with a midget in the band doing a combination of rock and rap. When I found out he was conservative, all the better. And Jerry Lee likes him!

Kid Rock - Rock n Roll Jesus/Only God Knows Why/Born Free - Live @ Orlando Calling 2011 (6:00 - 7:30 on this video shows he is a conservative. He can have a great influence on the younger crowd!)

Pointing to fellow conservative rocker Kid Rock, fiddler-guitarist Charlie Daniels and actor Gary Sinise, Nugent said that conservative celebrities are far more likely to go public with their political views now than in the past — though there have been consequences for him in doing so.

I’ve liked him for years. It’s been fun watching him go from hard core rap to southern rock over the years..

Dave Mason is also a conservative and I heard him say in a concert last November that the vets are coming home to a disaster here with no jobs. He has a charity to help the vets get jobs when they return home.

I don't know much about Kid Rock. I guess name only is familiar, however, the effort he has made is very generous.

Operation Finally home is a non profit, http://babasupport.org/

Watching some of the vids on this site will make your heart ....well, let's just say....Proud of the soldiers and their families.

Kid Rock is not the only famous one helping there. There are lots of them.

God Bless our Soldiers and their families. Past and present.

I've been involved in several of these types of benefits for vets. It is very rewarding. The charity of people in our neck of the woods here in Texas is a wonderful thing to see.

John Mayer deserves recognition for his support of the troops, too. His support is prominent on his website.

Yeah, he’s one of the true good guys. Has had it all.....rock/rap star, Pamela Anderson as his ho...countless groupies....touring the world, etc., etc....

Yet...he settled down near his hometown, hangs out with his homeboys; barbecues, etc. Raises the kids. A truly patriotic American. He has been supporting the troops since before it was cool (like few others...Gary Sinise, God bless ‘im, comes to mind).

He has real talent, and he uses his income to help others who are deserving.

I’d buy the sumbitch a drink any time, anywhere. :)

The Obamas meet with the troops: US media gushes.

Famous Conservatives meet with the troops: the story is reported Across the Pond.

I don’t know his politics and he’s not Led Zeppelin, but that was damn nice of him.
