AceShowbiz – Country star Clint Black has publicly thanked the family of Navy Seal Kyle Milliken for allowing him to use the hero in the video accompanying his new song, “America (Still In Love With You)”.
The patriotic promo, released on Friday, June 19, 2020, was created in quarantine, but features images and video clips Clint has been collecting and clearing for over a year, according to Taste of Country.
Black was given permission to use Milliken’s image after a Navy Seal commander sent the country singer photos of the soldier, who was killed in combat in Somalia in 2017.

“I’m so humbled to have him appearing in that video and to be able to turn this into something greater than a song coming out,” Black says. “Kyle was very, very popular. One hell of a great American… He was quite the servant to our great country and he paid the ultimate price for that, as did his family.”
Black has also created a T-shirt for sale via his website, which will benefit the Kyle Milliken Foundation, launched by the soldier’s widow, Erin.
