I’m a female Army vet injured in he Middle East when a vehicle I was in rolled over. My dad was a Marine. My brother was too until he was murdered in a terrorist attack at 24. I’m trying to type this through tears. Toby supported our military in ways not seen since Bob Hope. He was an icon. And he will be missed.

God bless you Bev, I am sorry for your brother. We in the Justice system try to right those wrongs. I think of the Bruce Springsteen story where the day after 911 he was driving in Manhattan and a man yelled at him to write a song to unite the country. I think Toby beat him to it. By a long mark.

When this song came out, my dad was in Iraq. The first time that I heard it a man walked up to my door wearing a military uniform and I thought something bad happened to my dad but the man just came and said he wanted to pray with us, and then this song came on the radio. This is my first time in years I can listen to this song my dad is fine thank you for your reaction your videos warm my heart

@johndalessandro6433 2 місяці тому

Erich, please tell your Dad from an 'ol submariner vet THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME!! I'm so glad he came back safe!! Tell him because of what he and the ones he served with did, my grandchildren slept peacefully, and FREE!! That is a debt I cannot re pay. And I take it very seriously. I am humbled by our military, forget the weaponry, the warriors are what keep us free. ❤

@pneeb419 2 місяці тому

I can't believe he just showed up in uniform!! Yeah, it's nice that he wanted to pray with you, but to just show up with no prior warning is inconsiderate! Especially since your dad was deployed!! Of course, your first thought is going to be that he's there to deliver bad news. When I was over there, a fellow "soldier" (we were AF working for the Army) was injured when a mortar round exploded near our living area. It was just a minor injury (took some shrapnel in his leg). He healed and went back to work. But the base chaplain went to his mother's house in his class As and she freaked out, expecting the worst. Inconsiderate!! I'm glad your dad is back home safe. Not necessarily healthy cause what is experienced can weigh heavily on your soul.

I am 71 years old and a veteran of the US Army during the Vietnam era. This song sums it up, there is nothing more prideful than knowing you have a duty, if need be, to protect everyone in the nation, not just your own family, but families across the US, and that protection could very well come at the expense of your own life. Salute every person you see who is in uniform serving our nation.

It’s ridiculous how we have people catching balls for a living making 30 million dollars a year but outside these stadiums where these guys are making millions for nothing there are homeless vets who fought and served and let us sleep peacefully knowing the brave men and women are fighting for us. The military, our military is the best and only the bravest serve. Thanks to all of our military and first responders you guys and girls are the reason we have what we have. Back the blue.

My grandfather fought in World War II. He never spoke about what eh went through, but I do know he saved the lives of several men who later tracked him down so they could thank him for what he did over there for them. As for America being the greatest country on earth...I respectfully disagree. It isn't the greatest, but it absolutely has the potential to be. More fighting FOR each other and less fighting AGAINST each other would go a long way to realizing that potential.

Thank you so much for your support. I served six years and deployed twice, once to Afghanistan and once to Iraq. I got out at the end of my contract because I wanted to start a family with my wife and actually be there for them. Which I have. One thing people forget these days is that the military is not beholden to the government. The government has fooled themselves into thinking we are at their beck and call. But we aren't. We are beholden to the constitution. And the day the government finally pushes their power too far, it is going to be hell for them. P.S. They are really pushing the limits right now.

How would you consider what's already been done as *not* pushing too far? What *would* constitute the government pushing too far, especially considering what's already been done??

@galerios1 28 днів тому

How do I answer this... They have already pushed way past the limit but we are living in a weak minded world... It is high time for a revolution... but the military consists of 20% of the population in America and they are the biggest allies of the people. Part of the reason veterans are so likely to become homeless is because the government purposely discards them. Did you know that every veteran is put on a government watch list as a possible home grown terrorist? Every veteran is being monitored by the CIA, NSA, FBI. Because we saw how shit works inside that bubble. The federal government is afraid of us because of the oath we took. To defend the constitution from all threats foreign or domestic.Our government is an obvious domestic threat at this point but nobody wants to stand up because they are scared.

Johnny taliban tried to shut down the concert by firing rockets at the camp, and after a brief intermission Toby started playing again. I truly will never forget that concert and how much fun and pride he brought to all of us deployed. RIP Toby Keith.

THIS American knows the UK, Canada & ANZACS are our friends & allies. Australia & NZ are critical friends & allies to the US (they're also bad a**). US Army 2nd Corp attacked the St. Quinten Canal alongside Australians in 1918 on the Western Front of WW1. Americans & ANZACS fought alongside each other at Monte Casino during the Italian Campaign of WW2. Americans served w/Australians in Iraq & Afghanistan. There are other examples. There's a lot of BS politics going on now. As an American Veteran, I know better.

I was a soldier, I came home from Vietnam in 1969, and people I thought were my friends turned their backs on me, so I am glad that these new "patriotic" songs remind people of what the men and women of the armed forces are sacrificing when they go into a combat zone. If you really want to show your support, a friend of Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, is very busy soliciting funds for the wounded warrior program. If you support the troops pitch in for the ones who have paid the heaviest price in service and are still alive.

I was in the Oklahoma Army National Guard and deployed in 2004 to Afghanistan. Toby didn’t just sing songs about the military. He took his ass overseas, to small combat outposts, across dangerous roads, to see “his boys.” He believed in walking the walk. I didn’t meet him, on that tour, because I covered the aid station for the rest of the crew who did meet him. Several of those guys spent weeks learning to play his songs on guitar just so they could have a jam session with Toby, which they got. It kept their minds on something positive for, at least, a month of the summer fighting season. In 2013, despite his diagnosis, he showed up to help victims of the Moore, OK Tornado. I was the NCOIC of a square mile of the tornados path. He found us, and asked us where he was most needed. It was absolutely inspiring that he knew his clout could help the worst of the victims recover faster, and he used it. His house was damaged by that storm and his attention was on the community. Whatever anyone could say about him, I have the fondest of memories and wish him peace.

How can one not not revear our military and what a gift they are to our lives in the freedoms granted that come only throught their sacrifices.

A friend of mine, who was a teacher and a reservist, Sang that song to his high school students when he was called up for duty in Iraq. All applauded, He then told them he was going to War. All wept. Thank God Chaney returned whole.

Great video, A true patriot he will be missed. I love his ballds as well as the fun stuff. Whiskey Girl, Crash Here Tonight and I Love This Bar are three of my favorites.

Toby has touched every true Americans heart. I grew up with his music as weee lil bap. Only a true cowboy will understand, we're a dyin breed He did more than the government could ever do for veterans

Tom McDonald is fantastic. He doesnt get airtime on the radio because he raps the truth and he speaks facts about what people want to say but are too afraid to and this modern world cant live with that sadly. I respect him for that, despite what people say or think you SHOULD be able to actually say what you think without some woke person shouting at you for it

I am proud to be an American, I am grateful for all servicemen and women, Great Grandparents, grandparents, uncles, cousins, all served. Love the military! I thank them everytime I see one! Tom Mcdonald tells it like it is, whether you agree with him or not! Lovely channel, keep up the work and may God Bless You all the days of your life!

I'm a veteran, and one of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with, Is when people come up to me, and thank me for my service. It took me a long time to realize, just what they were thanking me for. I just looked at that time in my life, as a success I survived, with my sanity in tact. The fact that he wrote this song as a tribute to us Vet's, and to our families is a gift. Let's not forget, the latter part of his career, he made it a point, to spend time with, and perform for our troops overseas, should tell us everything we need to know about the man. RIP MR. Toby Kieth

As a vet myself, I felt it was the best way I could give back to my country for everything it's given me. After being in over 50 countries and 4 different conflicts, I've seen how well we have it here and will never take it for granted and I teach my kids to be grateful as well.

It's sad to loose Toby at such a young age. Many great songs. I think my favorite one is probably should have been a cowboy. Also very much a Tom macdonald fan he says what to many don't have the ball to say. If Toby was still here I think a Tom MacDonald and Toby Kieth collaboration would have been epic. Thank your husband for all his hard work and time away from his family to keep us all safe. So many take our freedoms for granted. I understand I have many friends and family that have or are fighting for our freedoms. I have one friend who is so deep in cover he can pretty much just call his parents to say he is ok. Never where he is or what he is doing. That's crazy

As a Marine Veteran, I saw him with the USO in Afghanistan. I then saw him 5 times here back at home. His music got so many of us through tough days and times. He was a true Patriot and great American. He will never be forgotten by this Devil Dog.

The List by Toby Keith is a good one. He wrote after 9/11. I have listened to Toby Keith since 1993 when I was in high school. Thank you to all that served in the military.

Lilly Jane This is the first time I have seen this video or heard this song. But it speaks to people like me who swore our duty for our Country. Your reaction is pure joy and respect. Thanks from and old Marine in Montana. Keep up your dedication to the emotions and spirit of what the songwriters were expressing and the pure talent in the way certain artists are able to express the songs. Like a lot of younger people doing reactions state. No technological enhanced frills. You cover so many great areas of music but I'll give you a couple of examples of what I mean when I say when younger reactors (not old guys like me at 69.) The reaction that I saw to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by you was pure respect to the crew and their families. I thank you for the tribute. Your reaction and emotion showed what you felt for the men and their families.

Great reaction ma'am. Much love to you and your old man. I never watch this without getting something in my eye causing a tear or 2. Meet my wife when we're stationed together in the Army. Best thing uncle Sam ever gave me. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

Tom is awesome, he is reaching out to the people in a way that very few can these days. He is speaking truth with ever bar and reaching a wide audience that is yearning for the truth to be spoken out loud. Tom is doing that.
