Dale Earnhardt Jr and Kid Rock team up with the Army National Guard for the new Music Video Warrior. Free to download and view starting August 21st. Since I am in the California Army National Guard I heard about this being filmed and I know a Soldier who took part in it. He had to borrow my Kevlar Helmet. Though I was not in it I thought I would post this link to this video company so everyone can check it out.
