The suspension of the aircrew from two U.S. Army Apache helicopters that flew near singer Kid Rock's home has been lifted, announced Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. A U.S. official relayed earlier that the crew was suspended after the incident raised eyebrows.

On social media, Hegseth expressed gratitude towards Kid Rock, stating, 'Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots.' This statement came after a video surfaced showing two Army helicopters flying near Rock's Nashville property, where he saluted the aircraft.

Meanwhile, military helicopters were reported near protesters in Nashville advocating against President Trump's policies, including aggressive deportation strategies. An Army review is underway to ensure compliance with flight regulations, although no further details on potential violations have been disclosed yet.
