Country music star who backed Trump to get military honor


 

Donald Trump has gotten plenty of love from country music stars, but few have supported the president as steadfastly as John Rich has.

And now the Trump-loving singer — one of half of the popular duo Big & Rich — is set to receive a prestigious military honor.

Rich will receive the Bob Hope Award as part of the 2025 Medal of Honor Celebration which take place Sept. 30 through Oct. 4 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, according to Parade.

“As a country music artist, songwriter and entrepreneur, John Rich has long been a vocal supporter of the military,” a press release on the event read per Parade. “Through his Redneck Riviera brand and charitable work, he promotes patriotism and supports veteran-focused causes across the country. To date, he has raised nearly $2 million to support veterans’ causes, including VFW’s Return the Favor campaign and Folds of Honor.”

Parade said the Bob Hope Award is given annually to a person who “through their life’s work in the entertainment industry has distinguished themselves by outstanding service to a positive portrayal of the United States Military in literature or film.”
