Freedom comes with a price. So many don't realize this, some don't care. No matter, we are fighting every single day for freedom around the world!! Thank you to the men and women who literally sacrifice every single day for peace and freedom worldwide!!!!
Toby Keith was an amazing singer/song writer. His songs brings out our patriotism and pride in all Americans and other soldiers around the world! ❤Miss you Toby!!!❤❤❤
I honestly don't think that military wives get enough credit. My father was in the army for 28 years and my mother moved us all over the world to follow him. Whenever he was stationed away from us, she managed to keep the family together. God Bless army wives.
Toby was a great and patriotic country artist. I was lucky enough to see him in concert when he came to Bagram Afghanistan back in 2009. He will be missed.
Love your reactions! This is such a powerful song. Too many want all the freedoms but don’t respect the sacrifices that bought those freedoms for them. Cheers to our British allies!❤️🇺🇸
We are a Military family. My Grandfather served in WWI, my Father served in WWII, my Brothers and Cousins served in Vietnam and Panama, my Nephews in Desert Storm, and now my Son is serving on a ship somewhere in the Middle East. We have been BLESSED to have all our soldiers return home safely, and we pray daily for my Son's safe return. Our soldiers mean the world to us, and I will always show them the utmost respect and Thank them for all they do.
That awesome Brothers, we became a military family starting with my father. brothers and me. It went from the youngest bro to the oldest bro to join the military not including our dad. I join the army last cause I had other jobs at the time. No matter how hard the military was at times, it was the best time of my life, every time I think of the friends I made made from BCT to active duty I cry cause they were my family and Army songs also make me cry no matter how hard life can be as far as I can see I was proud to be a soldier and part of my Army family.
Best song Toby ever did. Bless every military man or women. My grandson is in the Navy deployed in Spain. I miss him but so proud of him. Thank you all for your service.❤
I am a 25 year veteran of the Air Force and I've been to many wars. Thank you for your honest reaction. This is a powerful song...too real...too many times. Welcome!!
God Bless you son, May the rest of your life be filled with as much peace and joy as possible. I say this because I come from an extreme military family. My mama was the third youngest out of 11 boys and girls. Most of them was in various branches of the service one way or the other. My daddy was in the Coast guard, my brother who was 20 years older than me was in the Marine corps, and excuse my language but all my cousins a shitload of them we're in all different branches of the service. At 70 years old I don't know if I would call this younger generations of cousins ( great or great-grand cousins ? ) . Ha ha 😆😉. About 95% of the cousins in my generation were all boys, needless to say I was very much a tomboy and I didn't have any idea how to act like a girly girl. I am DAMN PROUD to be from a military family. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 NOBODY even with me being 70 years old today. They better never say nothing against the military around me. Cuz I sure as hell WILL defend my military families right to defend this country. I've seen it from both sides of the fence. From the husbands or wives of military personnel to the husbands and wives that had to stay behind to look after the family while their spouse went overseas. And I'm not ashamed to say I am a hell of a PROUD AMERICAN. Believe me Sir, I am proud and honored to have had you as an American soldier. May God Bless you , send a much love to you and yours may ya'll stay safe and healthy. Once again God bless you.
In the military we are all brothers from different mothers!! We come from the family's that fight in all the wars, it's a family tradition to protect our freedoms when the wolf is at the door.
God, I need a man like this - just a hard-working, ready to fight if necessary, just doing what's right. So many immasculated men who don't know how to be a real man today. It's sad.
Thank you, Mikey, from an American. Well done. My hat is off to the long-standing relationship between the USA and Britain. It was the Brits that stood alone in 1940 until the other allies joined them. The nazis were rampaging across Europe with countries falling like dominoes (France in 6 weeks), until Hitler put his focus on Britain. The courageous Brits stopped Hitler in his tracks, which allowed time for the allies to come together. Americans, British, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis, S. Africans, Russians (who today have a leader who is a war criminal and emulates his hero Hitler), and others saved the world. May the bond between America and Britain always remain strong and lasting.
hi!I know exactly how the wife felt when her husband was called to deploy,My husband was deployed on Desert storm and desert shield while we were married.I was proud of him but the lonliness and being scared is something you never forget.TY for listenig to these patriotc songs that mean so much to us.God bless and thank you for the sign of the cross,looking forwar to more videos,,TY
As the daughter of a marine who fought in Vietnam and came home to being spit on and called a baby killer please support our military no matter if you agree with where there fighting. They are serving where they are told
Amen honey, I had quite a few cousins that served over in NAM. I guess just because I was a girl some of the people that I went to school with thought that they could say anything they wanted to around me. WRONG !!!!! Even though a girl being brought up around the military I knew how in the heck to fight and I got detention a hell of a lot of times for fighting. NOBODY DARED after 4 or 5 times ever saying anything against the military around me cuz they knew I'd whooped some ass. That was a shameful time that Americans treated their soldiers. Thank God I haven't really seen that kind of extreme crap since then. Your father was a wonderful man and a great man of Honor. May God bless ya'll and keep you safe and healthy.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
As a United States Marine Corps veteran, I know that I get that same fired up feeling from this song, and many others too, that extoll the patriotism of Americans. I am proud of my past service, and I am grateful for the service of so many others. Semper Fidelis.
This Devil Dog mom thanks you for your service. My Marine was meritoriously chosen to attend the ceremony at Iwo Jima. Then came back from two years on Oki to Miramar, married to a damn seal!! 10 years & 3 kids later & still "complains" about it. 🤣
@@meanmax9663 she was stationed at Camp Kinser. But by far, being part of the ceremony at Iwo Jima is her most prized time. Being the only active duty female, blue eyed, blonde & beautiful, the survivors spent all there time around her. The stories they told her, made her cry at night, but she does not take that honor lightly.
I am so proud watching your reaction for our American soldiers. Always remember because of our two countries fighting side by side during World War 2, we all live in freedom. God Bless you my friend 🙏
My great grandpa and grandpa were marines, I have my great grandpa's WWII letters to my grandma. And my grandpa's Korean pictures and boot camp papers. I love them and am so proud. My grandpa has always been the man I most admired in my life.
🛐🇺🇲❤️❤️❤️✝️ Amen to that a lot of people end up forgetting that are soldiers men and women are leaving behind families. Families that have to continue paying the bills raising kids but also as they lay in the bed at night praying and crying both for their loved one to come home alive. Always sending out love and prayers to those that are left behind at home.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Got to hear Courtesy of the Red white and Blue an Angry American by Toby Keith and also Lee Greenwood God Bless the USA I tear up every time. I am a female Navy veteran with 29 yrs retired.....LOVED MY MILITARY LIFE as it's a family of people who have your back.....Thank you for your respect for us. ❤❤
My son in law is in his 8th year in the Air Force and I am so proud of him. It’s truly a sacrifice made by him and my daughter and their children. I so appreciate people like Toby supporting them through music and many other things as well 😊❤🇺🇸
God bless all the soldiers, and to the families who sacrifice such long periods without them while deployed, Amen. I love this song and of course Toby Keith. I have had so many family members who have served as an American soldier in the apst and brothers in the present. Thank YOU all.
Great reaction. Incredible song. I really love your heart. Thank you all out there that are and have served. You deserve the greatest honor from all of us. And their families.
Next year I will be 80, I volunteer with our police and love our country. My heart swells when I see and hear patriotic songs. I know exactly how you feel. I have always voted and my kids vote too. We are proud Republicans. I am a widow, and my husband served in the Air Force and son in the Navy. It makes me proud and happy that you want to come to our country. It will be better because of you and your family. Welcome home.
Toby Keith is American icon!! Love this song and it always brings me to tears as I have many veterans in my family. I also have a nephew in the Marines now.
I think u have the heart of an American. ❤ I think its actually pretty cool that are british with the heart of an American. It shows how important America is to the world. I don't think I'm working this right, so I just say thank u.
Thank you. Yes we may be arrogant at times. I don't think there is another country, or men that will go willing to keep our way of life alive. Yes the UK is awesome. We love your men as well. We will work as one against the wrongs in the world.
I'm an army veteran. My father was army and my grandfathers were in the Marines and navy. This song holds a special place for me. Thank you sir showing your honesty reaction to this song. It means a lot to all of us
I have a good friend that is a Navy Seal…I asked him one time how it was that we became such good friends…I, who’ve never served and him, who’s the epitome of the warrior? He said, simple, by being an American worth fighting for…What an awesome response! I try everyday to live up to that challenge! I think it’s up to each of us, as individuals, to decide exactly what the “challenge” is…BUT…it is IMPORTANT that we remember that without my friend and the thousands like him, we would never have the opportunity to take that challenge !
My daughter is married to a SEAL. He was never going to get married until his late 30's or 40's. Too many beautiful women around the world. Until he met a 5'6", 110 lb, blue eyed, long blonde hair woman in a bar in Naha, Okinawa. He was drunk & being a jerk, he ended up on his back, with the stiletto of her heel in his carotid artery in his neck. He knew three things at that moment, he had met his match, he was going to marry her and she was a Marine. She wanted nothing to do with him. He finally wore her down & they've been married for over 10 years & have three kids.
@@sportsmom165 lol…great story. My friend is on wife #3…the first two were before he was 30. His 3rd wife he met at 35…married her, has kids and nearly 30 years of marriage under his belt! Many a time has he told me that he wished he had met her first…but will admit to being 35 “might” have had something to do with it😂
@@timcaldwell5241 she was 20 & he was 22 when they met. They married when she was 21 & he was 23. He wasn't letting her slip away. Although, she still swears he drugged her. A month or so back he says you must love me because we'll have been married 10 years now and she said no, I just found out process servers refuse to go to war zones. I could write a book on the crap they give each other & it will have people rolling. She was stationed at Miramar and he came stateside. He never told her when he was coming home. Even though he was at Coranado, he obviously stayed with his wife & son. He just walked in the house & heard the garage door opener. He thought he'd be funny, hide in a closet & scare her. She opened the door & punched him in the face twice, with a toddler holding on to her leg, until she realized it was him. He showed up to Coranado the next day with a broken nose & two blacks eyes. One of his buddies says to him, "I don't know what you did but you obviously forgot that your wife is a Marine." 🤣
Dang... Chills.. Love Toby.... he does the songs that make me proud to be an American My parents raised me with pride for my country and Toby's songs just make it mpre evident to me.. I'm proud to be an American
I come from honorable men and women. My dad, brothers, husband and daughter were all brave soldiers. This one made me cry with so much pride for all the sacrifices they have made for us...
My great uncle was killed in a fighter plane in WW2. They shot the plane down and a bullet flew straight through him from the bottom up. My great grandparents received a Purple Heart in his honor and my grandmother has all his and my great grandfathers war medals. The sacrifice these men and women make is incredible and they do not get enough support or assistance when they get back home. There are thousands of veterans living on the street with nowhere to go. I wish there was more we did as a country to make sure that never happens.
Oh thank you so much Mikey. For playing one of the BIG DOG's Patriotic songs. Honey I was watching your eyes while this was being played. I could tell how the song got to you. As far as I'm concerned son you're already American. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 . Thank you for playing this and hopefully some others that Toby did. And welcome home our new American son. May God Bless y'all. Sending much love to you and yours stay safe and healthy.
I have 2 great nephews who are currently serving. One is a loadmaster fot the A 10 Warthog. The other is an interrogator for the Army and speaks 7 different Arabic languages. I am so proud of them both, and I worry about them ftoo.
Not to seem like an Ahole but A10's don't have Loadmasters you probably mean A weapons loader. I served 20 years as a Weapons loader on numerous different Acft
God bless all our military and our veterans who served before them ! You are America’s rarest patriots! Honored and proud to salute all of you heroes and bless and pray for your wonderful families! Thank you all !
You are awesome Mike...we need you in America...🇺🇲 Let's 🙏 pray for Toby Keiths fight with cancer, God bless him 🙏 My son is in the Air Force 2yrs now and was deployed in January to Guam and is protecting the border in Poland...so proud of him and sick to my stomach constantly... God bless all these men and women who sacrifice for our freedom, past and present... and God bless all those who died for us to have a life 🙏🙏🙏
Darryl Worley’s 22 is worth the listen especially if wanting a US military type song, it’s about the 22 soldiers who take their lives every day due to PTSD
Toby Keith is a son of Oklahoma USA. As a 5th generation Oklahoman, I'm proud of him and the other Oklahoman's who make incredible country music. Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Vince Gill, and so many other great country artists from Oklahoma have contributed their best to the genre. There are so many songs from these artists that will blow you away! If you ever want recommendations, let me know and I'll make you a list.
You would enjoy Lee Greenwood & Home Free's version of "God Bless the USA". It's very powerful. The three minute plus version is a favorite. My dad served almost thirty years in the Air Force, my brother served. My father-in-law served in the Navy in WWII. My husband served in the Marines. One of our best friends served in Vietnam and came home a changed man. Our families are very proud to serve our precious country. They protect our freedom, our liberty and do so willingly. Our military personnel, regardless of which branch, should always be shown our utmost honor and respect. Unless you serve, or someone you love serves, you will never be able to fully understand the sacrifices our men and women make to keep us safe. God bless each and every person serving!
You're British... I have so much respect for your country. Truly.... the worst war in my country was the Civil War from 1861-1865...WWI and WWII were in your backyard.....The British stood up.. an America had your back. took their licks and SURVIVED.. Nothing but respect.. I''m proud to say all my ancestry is the British Isles..Yes I was born and raised in the USA.. proud of my country.. but my ancestry is English, Irish and Scottish.. yay .. I'm a Mutt.. lol
My wife is a 911 dispatcher and is training to become a police officer. It scares me the thought of something happening to her in the line of duty. My father served in Vietnam. My grandfather and uncle served in WWII. You can go into any room in my house and you will see military support, the American flag, and patriotic stuff in general. I love my country and I believe there is still hope to turn this train wreck around.
Sending prayers that your wife will be able to do what she wants by serving your community as well as gets to come home to you after each shift. My husband has a dangerous job and has had a couple injuries and I wish he didn’t have to do it but he’s exceptional at what he does.
Members of my family have served in every conflict from the American Revolutionary War to present. When my husband would be deployed, my children would go to the front door every night waiting on their daddy to come home. Even after I would explain to them that daddy was helping others to be safe and he would be back, they still waited on him every night. They would get so excited when I dressed them in red, white and blue and gave them little American flags to wave, and drove to the military base, they knew then, that daddy was really coming home. Thank you for this song! Loved your reaction, too!❤
Whoever designed the video set down to the very last detail did it 100 % exactly how it was done in the Air Force, my ex-husband and my soulmate US Army (we were married for almost 15 years) and he died unexpectedly on Valentines Day in 2021 at the age of only 53! I went to wake him up so we could go out for Valentine’s Day and he passed away in his sleep. I miss him so very much! 😢😢 Being a military spouse was the absolute greatest honor I have ever had the privilege of experiencing! I really enjoy all your patriotic videos! If you haven’t reacted to Darryl Worley “ Have you Forgotten “ is their anyway you could mention my husband s name and react to it in his memory!? And if you can find this one by Dusty Drake, it’s called. “One Last Time “ my husband name is Sgt 1st Class Roger Allen Sanderson and he adored and loved serving his country! He served 24 years and got to only enjoy 10 years of retirement! I’m so very proud of him, he also earned his Associate, his Bachelor’s degree and his Master’s degree, his professors said he should have went for his PH.D but all the people physical stuff he did, the Army put him in the disabled list and he was broken-hearted about so bad. He was not able to use any of the education he worked so hard for. He earned so many accolades and awards because he worked so very hard! God bless America 🇺🇸 ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸 and thanks so much from South Carolina
My brother went to nam when he was 18 A marine grunt. He was there for 13 months. It was just what they went through when they were there it was how they were treated when they came home. He was one of many who were spit on. But he loved this country until the day he died.
To y never stops making us think, he's a complete county singer, I think what you see is what you get with him, appreciate the work you put into the video and commentary you do it right
I was one of those kids looking through the fence watching dad go and come home. I remember him getting spit on coming home from Vietnam. I was in 4th grade and they were calling him a baby killer. Toby's songs really hit home for me. Love that guy. Dad was 30 years in the army and died last year at 92.
I am a Navy brat, Dad was in WWII on the USS WASP when it sank he was in the Crows nest. He was also in the Korean Conflict and my younger brother was in the Navy and fought in Vietnam. I have so much respect for the military ❤ Be careful what you wish for, you will get flooded with country music requests requests 😊❤
This song epitomizes what it means to be an American soldier. "When liberty's in jeopardy".......that is when our men and women are called! It has been nearly 200 years since we have been threatened on our own soil. Our guys go wherever freedom is being threatened, and it is not here! This adds so much more respect and honor we need to show! They fight for others in other lands! The sacrifice they make is beyond grace!
I was in the U.S. Army for 6 years. 50th Signal Battalion, Fort Bragg, NC. Two deployments, Afghanistan in 2009 and Iraq in 2011. This song gets me every god damn time.
Just saw Toby accept a country music award last night...after his cancer .. he looks like a shadow of himself right now but I know he's gonna beat this and come back.. True country legend...Blake Shelton showed up to give props to Toby
Thank you so much, Mikey, for your review of this video. It describes how it was for me in the US military, for 20 years. When deployed, we worked our asses off from the time we had breakfast until we went to sleep. We were so into the mission and our responsibilities that we forgot what time it was. Sometimes it was harsh, but morale was always high. I've been living outside of the USA since I retired some 20 years ago. I've been surprised by how many people, from other countries, love the USA. The USA has, from its beginning, been an experiment in democracy. And after some 200 years, as we bumbled or way through it, the USA came from 13 quarrelling British colonies to become the world's number one superpower. I am grateful to have been a part of it. And I am especially grateful that you bloody Brits are, and will always be, our closest allies. It probably goes without saying, but know that if anyone ever messes with your country, besides your immense commonwealth, your American cousins, and soldiers like me will also, and always, back you up in every way.
I'm the proud mom of a Marine. Who spent two years at Okinawa and while there, was meritoriously chosen to attend the ceremony at Iwo Jima. Then spent 2 1/2 years at Miramar. Also, married a Navy SEAL. It's not just men. My other daughter is a rappeller on a Forest Service helitack crew aka wildland firefighter. She rappels down a rope, from a helicopter, into a forest fire. That's when she's not flying the heli.
I appreciated your reaction to this very, very much. I hope that you DO become an American and bring your family here. We need more people like you. Thanks so much. I just subscribed.
Subscribed two songs ago. Thanks. This old soldier knows Toby is a patriot. Will chec to see if you have done “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue”. Another great one to make us proud
Love this song Darlin' and love your reaction to it. Y'all oughta give a listen to If You're Reading This by Tim McGraw. The sacrifice our men and women have given to this country really hits home. This one right here will hit ya in the feels. God bless you and God bless this great nation.
I just wanted to say thank you for the patriotic music and videos. It warms my heart. My uncle Carl Dodd, who is awarded the congressional medal of honor for his time in Korea. He saved quite a few of his fellow officers. My nephew is in the army. my grandson is in the Marines and too many cousins to mention in one area of the military or another, and believe it or not all of your patriotic songs and videos go straight to my heart I would like to know when you’re coming to America if you don’t mind
