Happy
Memorial Day! It’s that time of the year when we celebrate the wonderful
courage and bravery of fallen U.S. soldiers, remembering those who’ve lost
their lives while serving their country.
People
all around the country make sure to celebrate on this day, while many others
celebrate soldiers year round. Many artists have gone to U.S. Armed Forces
stations throughout the world to put on concerts for the soldiers stationed
there, too, helping brighten the mood, give some hope and take minds off of
troubles for a few hours. Check out some of these awesome artists who have
performed for soldiers!
Paramore
They know how to put on a good show, and their Armed Forces concert was
no exception! They rocked it out of the park.
Watch
Paramore sing “For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic” in Kuwait below…
Kid Rock
He’s got the soul, the voice and the energy to rock the stage for the
music-withdrawn soldiers!
Watch Kid
Rock sing “All Summer Long” in Iraq below…
Kellie
Pickler
This girl brought her sweet and country vibe to the soldiers stationed in
Iraq. Her bubbly self helped to lift their spirits, no doubt.

Kellie sing “Red High” in Iraq with a random member of the US Air Force below…
Kris Allen
He
doesn’t need a lot of lights or smoke or stage effects because his voice is
perfect enough.
Watch Kris sing “Come Together” by The Beatles in Germany below…
Katy Perry
ft. Nicki Minaj
These two divas pulled out all the stops with their performance! There
were tons of effects, awesome outfits and some backup dancers. Plus, it was
nice to hear Nicki actually sing!
Watch them
sing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” in Kuwait below…
