Although we should thank the armed forces everyday for protecting our freedom and liberties, May is National Military Appreciation month. These celebrities have showed their appreciation and support by performing for the troops.

Mariah Carey

While working on her eighth album in 1998, Mariah Carey decided to cover a song that was first recorded by Brenda K. Starr ten years earlier. Carey enlisted the help of Brett Ratner to direct the music video, which was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s 1953 visit to the U.S. troops in Korea. In the video, Carey emulated Monroe’s hair and make-up while doing her own performance in front of airmen and soldiers at the Edwards Air Force Base in California.
