Country Music Star Offers Free Concert To UNC Heroes Who Protected Flag

John Rich is ready to help throw an awesome party for some brave UNC students.

A group of UNC students have captivated the nation after standing tall against a pro-Hamas mob to protect a fallen American flag.

A GoFundMe to help the young men throw an epic party has raised nearly $400,000 as of publication. That's a lot of cash for a single party, and they might not even need to pay for a music act.

Enter the "Big & Rich" founder.

John Rich offers free concert to viral UNC students.

John Rich tweeted Wednesday night that he's willing to perform for the students for free as a reward for their actions.

The country music star followed up later Wednesday that he's been in contact with the students, and it looks like there's a real shot it's going to happen!

This moment has truly captured America in the best way possible. It's uniting people across the internet, and it's a great reminder of what America is at its best.

A pro-Hamas mob took down the American flag at UNC in order to replace it with a Palestinian flag. It was a disgusting and disgraceful action.

How did the bros respond? By holding and protecting the flag to make sure further desecration couldn't happen.

Now, money is pouring in for an epic party and John Rich is offering to perform for free. I've seen "Big & Rich" in concert many times. It's always a hell of a show and a great time. It's also the perfect kind of music for an event of this nature.

Smash play on the video below, and let's hope it happens. Make sure to hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
