You are a true man!! This brought tears to my eyes and so moved my heart and soul. My son who is almost 18, although somewhat immature, has since the age of 3 or so thanked any man or woman he saw in military fatigues for their service. I always stress the importance of the sacrifice these men & women make to keep us FREE in the United States. I whole heartedly believe that it is these men & women who deserve the best of the best for their sacrifice, the best healthcare, the best jobs. Much friendship & LOVE to you.

God Bless that soldier and his wife. I can't imagine what they have gone through. Thanks Bob for having such a giving spirit and being so wonderful to our soldiers. I love your music but I also love your heart, I have been a fan for years and things like this make me so proud to be a fan. God Bless America and best wishes to that family in their new home.

Oh how full of joy my heart is :) They moved into their home this month? Oh, truly a month of love! I agree with all these loving, positive comments! :) Thank you, Kid Rock, for being so involved in such an exquisitely wonderful, hugely patriotic, awe-inspiring endeavor with Pulte Homes and Operation Welcome Home. Your kind, generous, and gracious actions make our world brighter with how you lead us in noble, humble efforts...how you inspire us to do more for our soldiers...our neighbors...our communities...and our country. May God bless the Dumar's in their new home. :) May God bless you and yours, Mr. Ritchie, keeping each safe, happy, healthy, and feelin' the love :)

Wondered if you had a little something to do with the tearing down of vacant run down properties in Detroit. Pulte homes was mentioned in the news....wouldn't be surprised if you had a part in that as well. Your heart is a big one, bobby. Thank you for all you do.
