UNC students at John Rich concert left 'teary-eyed': 'Couldn't believe we actually followed through'
Fox News
John Rich of Big and Rich shares his thoughts on Flagstock, the concert he hosted for Chapel Hill students on Monday as a thank-you for students who defended the American flag.
"The event was a huge success! As of now, we're beyond 700k views, and people all around America are commenting on social media as to how much they loved Flagstock," Rich said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, referencing a live-stream of the event online. "The artists all brought their A-game, and it was a show fit for a stadium!" "I am very proud to be a Tar Heel." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.

Rich put on the concert, which turned into something of a music festival, in honor of a group of students and fraternity members who stopped the American flag from hitting the ground when anti-Israel agitators attempted to replace it with the Palestinian flag during spring semester unrest.
