Toby Keith - American Soldier (Veteran Reaction) 

My husband served 32 yrs in the military, I lost him Feb 17th 2023.....when they folded that flag and handed it to me I was so proud....thank you for your service sir.

Thank you for your service my son served for 17 years in the army till he was injured my son served right after 911 he had to wait till he turned 18 he was a combat engineer Toby played a special part in my sons career his dad died while he he was in basic training and when things got rough in Iraq Toby talked to him like a dad would talk to a son I don’t think I’d have my son if it weren’t for Toby

I just saw a comment that brought me to tears... Service members that have got to Heaven b4 Toby are standing in line to shake his hand.. because Toby stood for them/you.. thank you for your service... I'm appreciative and have total respect

Toby was a true patriot to our servicemen and women and the country as a whole. He had a beautiful voice for soulful songs and could bring it with the fun songs. I have no tolerance for anyone who doesn't give respect and gratitude to our service members past and present. My friend never be ashamed to show your emotions. It just means that you are human and that your reactions are genuine. 😊

Thank you for your service. God bless you all. Toby made those USO trips 11 years in a row. One time they came under fire when he was performing and they had to drag him off the stage. He loved and honored our military. I love Courtesy of the Red White and Blue.

I've been out of The Marines almost 20 years...if they call me, I will answer The Call...."Once a Marine, ALWAYS a Marine!

As a vet myself( 5th generation)RIP to our Brother🫡🇺🇸❤

I left the Air Force in 1996, I'm 51 now, and I would go back today. I'll protect my Brothers, my Sisters and MY Country... Period.

thank you for your service any and all veterans out there

As a disabled vet thank you for your service brother.

Always, God bless you and thank you for protecting us! ❤

Aussie combat vet R.I.P Big Dawg we’ll never see your kind again. l served in a rapid reaction regiment with 24/7 standby & 4hrs to be wheels up,never knew when that call would come 🇦🇺🇺🇸

First, Thank you for your service ❤ Toby Keith's passing was especially difficult for me and my family. One of the last pictures I have of my brother Sam before he was killed in action in Afghanistan was standing with Toby Keith at a concert event with the troops. Rest in Peace Toby and my brother Sam will be happy to see you again on the other side ✝️❤️

Thank you Sir for your service for our country!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Dude--I love you. I was in the National Guard and never got called up, but my daddy was in WWII and was stationed in France, and one of my mentors when I was younger served in Vietnam (Airborne Ranger, Green Beret). I cannot thank you enough for your service, your sacrifice, and your patriotism. God bless you. Edit to add: Cheers, my guy. I was 63B. 🙂

My Grandpa left the army in May '45 as a MSgt. I saw him on 9/11/01 and he was asking for his rifle so we could go to war.

Thank you for your service. My dad was a veteran, my husband is a veteran, and there are many in my extended family who are also vets. You hit the nail on the head when you said it wasn't about our government. It's about us, the people. Without willing men and women like you, I don't know where we would be. Loved this. TFS.

Have you watched Courtesy Of The Red White & Blue video? Being you are a vet I think you would completely relate and love it. Toby Keith wrote it after 911 and for his Dad who was also a Veteran. Thank you for your service ❤️🤍💙 Toby Keith was a great man and very patriot❗️ Its sad he is no longer with us.

Thank you and all soldiers, police, firemen. I was a 911 dispatcher and I saw a lot. Bless all of you. RIP Toby.

Navy vet here, 72-79, thank you for your service

I did my 20 years and what we always said was "we do more by 9 o'clock than most people do all day" . thanks for serving SALUTE!

Proud wife of a 20 year Army veteran. Thank You and all VETERANS for their service and sacrifice to this country

Hola from Arizona! ARMY Wife, ARMY Mom here! Thank you for your service!! God bless you and the USA

Rip legend

RIP, Toby !! He's a legend, same as our beloved military. FJB

Its not about the fact that we hate whats infront of us but we love what is behind us

Thank you for putting your life on the line for our country. My dad served 21 years, my son was injured while he served luckily he just messed up his wrist and his knee, so many family's have a history of service and I am very proud to have so many members of my family that served

Thank you SO much for your service! I’m 29 and seeing how people my age take the military for granted makes me sick. We would be nothing without people like you. Never forget how much you matter to us

My father was a tank killér in France in WWII in 45. I can never tell you how much your sacrifice was appreciated. Thank you.

My grandfather signed up for WW2 when he was 16 years old. He lied about his age of course but he served on the Pacific side of the war. And I am so proud as his granddaughter let me tell you. I was lucky that he came back alive. Only thing that saved him was that he got injured from an explosive that went off in there camp somewhere. so they sent him back. There will never come a day or I don't think about you for what they do. Or take for granted the freedom that they have provided us. Thank you to all the service men and women out there. And God bless those who could not make it home and may your soul rest in peace. Also I have to thank the families that endured has their loved one went off to war.

He will always be with us! He huge catalog of music and his amazing spirit touch so many. I wish more people had the same view that you do about protecting our freedom. I admire your values

Thank you for your service!!! I'm a Navy Seabee mom, and I believe the same!!! Our military and teachers should be paid way more and should be treated so much better!!! Again, thank you for your service and your sacrifice!!!!❤🇺🇲🎇

Thank you Sir for your service! As for me & all my family we will NEVER spit on our service men nor will we stand by & watch ANYONE spit on y'all or our Flag! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

Thanks so much for your past service and your willingness to go again. You have my sincere gratitude and admiration.

One Veteran to another...... "Welcome Home Brother"..... I have a tendency to explain my Time in Service as "Best Time I Ever had Being Miserable".......

My grandfather served in 3 wars, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. There are two things he taught me that I will never forget. First, respect the flag. Second, respect the uniform.

God Bless you, and thank you for your service! You are loved and appreciated! ❤️💙🇺🇸🙏🏻

Him telling the citizens "I'm out here on the front line, so sleep in peace tonight ". So many will never truly understand the sacrifices made for our freedoms, our peace... but so many do. Thank you for your service, and thank you to Toby, the true American patriot!

Thank You For Your Service To Our Country

God Bless You! Everyone had a role. I had a cousin who served in Viet Nam. He came home wounded and mentally affected. I will never forget when my mother came out, I was just home from basketball practice, and said “John Michael was wounded, he is coming home”. He worked for the USPS and died the same year as my father. Dad was 86, John Michael was 57. I see it like yesterday.

Thank you for your service. Glad you're back home safe and sound. I honor you sir! Respect!

And, when you see a veteran, go up and say thank you. You know by the cap they are wearing. Trust me, it is a win-win. And again, thank you.

Thank you to all Veterans. Including several of my own family members.

I feel the same way about protecting this country, I am a disabled veteran who served in the 80s, I took an oath to protect and defend the country when I joined, I never took one that removed that responsibility

Tobys music inspired millions, Especially those of us he came down range to visit in Afghanistan. He helped us put our reality to the back of our minds even if only for an hour or so. Rest in Peace Toby.

Thanks for your service, much appreciated. My dad that passed away a couple years ago from Alzheimer's at 72 was a Vietnam veteran

Proud daughter, niece and granddaughter of some brave service men. Y'all have nothing but my thanks and prayers for anything your still going through from your service. God bless y'all and thank you.

Thanks brother. I'm a 91Z Retired now after 40 years of service. Like you I come back no questions asked.

Thank you for your service sir. You all are the best to me hands down.

Thank you for your service sir!! My grandpa Rodriguez served in Marines in the Korean War!! So this song hits home for me because he’s 90 right now and still kicking. He loves telling me stories of his days in the military and his training exercises off of Iwo Jima! God Bless America, God Bless our soldiers, and God Bless Toby Keith 🇺🇸🫡❤️💯🐐

First of all, Thank you for your service. This song still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. My grandfather served in the Navy and my brother in-law served in the 82nd airborne for 40 years before retiring. Freedom isn't free and someone pays the price for our freedom and those people, like yourself, are true heroes. The disrespect shown towards our military now days sickens me to my core and makes me so angry. So, thank you again and God bless you.

I absolutely care that our men and women in our military are willing to sacrifice it all for us. There's no words to express that enough. Thank you for your service. Thank your lucky stars that you served in this generation. My brother served in Viet Nam. (He was a Huey Mechanic). When HE stepped off the plane when he came home there were people waiting for the soldiers to disembark...they shouted horrible things at them, threw rotten fruit at them. They got treated like shit. There are assholes today that treat our soldiers like crap, but nothing like they treated my brother.

Thank you for your service! There is nothing wrong with getting emotional!

Thank you for your service. My Fiancé is a Gunny Sgt in the Marine Corp and this song always brings a tear to my eye. I am beyond honored to be a Military spouse soon.

You are a hero

I’ve been out for almost 14 years it never goes away once a soldier always a soldier were a different breed we will always place the needs of others above our own

4 AM wakeup, 6 AM PT formation, 9 AM work formation. "Area beautification/motor pool cleanup" in 110 degree heat, (Fort Bragg baby!) deployments, leaving my family... I'm glad I'm out, but I'm damn proud I served. Thank you for your service. And if all hell breaks loose, I'll be with you out there brother.

Thank you for your service! My grandfather was an Old Breed Marine fought in World War II he passed away on August 30th, 1990. Every day while working at Walmart you come through my line with a veteran hat or something showing you are a veteran one of the first words out of my mouth are "Thank You For Your Service" If the Veteran was a Marine I say "Semper Fi" You come through my line in your uniform it's the same thing "Thank You For Your Service" you come through the UScan where I'm working you're going to see me approach with a thank you. If you aren't wearing something that shows you are a Veteran and during our conversation I find out that you are one I say "Thank You For Your Service" If it's not obvious which branch you were in I do ask Sometimes even with the Vietnam Vets I also add "Welcome Home" A younger generation Veteran told me that I should say that to the Vietnam Vets

Thank you for your service. I enlisted in 1968, and did a tour in Vietnam 69-70. We came home to protests. In this video it was the look on his wife's face that got to me the most. Keep doing a great job. If push came to shove I would be honored to stand beside you. Thank you again.

First off I want to say thank you for your service. My family has been in the Army and navy. I support our military no matter what I think of the government

Thank you for your service.

Thanks for your service, soldiers are so under appreciated and I’ll never comprehend why

Thank you for your service. It is not lost on most of us even though the minority may speak louder. We love and appreciate you guys and gals.

Thank you for your service. Free USA!🇺🇲 God bless America, God bless military

Thanks for your service

RIP Toby! Your music lives on! Thank you to all who have served. Also thanks to all the families who sacrificed and the real women who stood by their men! Nothing more shameful than those tramps who left their men during war! They are a disgrace to the nation! Patriot from generations of fighters back to WW1-Present. Brother, if it comes to our soil, this 56 year old gma will stand and deliver as will my family!!

First, thank you for your service! I have a lot of family members who served. He says"im out here on the front line,so sleep in peace tonight" meaning he has our back.. He is fighting for us, so we have no worries. I lkve this song, and i love Toby Keith.

Military today get way more respect than they did from Vietnam they got treated horrible when they came home

❤ Thank you for your service. My dad served from 1978-2006.❤

Thank you for your service, and I'm sorry for all the soldiers who get disrespected from fellow citizens. But just know that you guys are loved by many for your bravery and sacrifice. ❤❤❤❤

I think you may appreciate Toby's song that he wrote not long after his (military) father passed away, as well as the 9/11 attack on our country. "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue". A little more uplifting, yet gets the message across. Apparently, he started out singing this just for the troops during his tour performances (of which he did many). But, some higher up commander suggested he record it for everyone to hear. SO glad he did.

In Toby's video where the Dad enters the plane and looks back at his family - his son saluted him. That reminded me of watching John John (John Kennedy Jr for the youngins') saluting his father's casket. That made me cry.

im in uk and this song sill gives me goosebump. red white and blue does the same. love n miss you alway toby rip xxx

Much love & EXTREME respect & gratitude for you all! The bravest of the brave! ♥️🇺🇸🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your service sir!!❤😢❤

Thank you, Sir, for your service! I have the utmost respect for our military and am so thankful for all you, and your family, sacrificed for me. My grandfather earned a Purple Heart in WWII, father went to Viet Nam, brother went to Desert Storm. Long line of military service in my family, back to the Revolutionary War. I can't express my gratitude enough for all the ones that fought when I couldn't.

Me to 😢Mey husband have been a soldier. Now I am a widow 😔🫡🇺🇲 stay Safe 🙏 God bless you 🙏

First and foremost thank you for ur service 🙏 I hope ppl heard you say that soldiers don't fight for the government, they fight for the people . Even if they don't appreciate you

Thank you for your service, as well as all other service members!!!❤

Thank you for your service! I have several family that are veterans and currently serving. The sacrifice is mind blowing!

Thank you for your Service. I went in in 1976. I didn't see any combat so I don't really say I am a Veteran.

Y'all put your lives on the line for us and should be paid more than any other job in this country!

I have seen this video thousands of time but this is the first time I noticed tat the soldier on the bus is missing his right arm. The left handed salute means so much more now.

Thank you for your service I'm from a military family I love and respect all military I have lost people in my family fighting for it and even ptsd that's why I'm working on my psychology masters degree to help vets

16-22 here and I didn’t care about pay. My brothers and my family matter more than anyone else. Amen to you brother. You gained a sub

What he said!!!! I've been out almost 40 years. But I'd still go, if called up.

Thank you for your service brother! Same mud, same blood ...

I'm Air Force Proud, and all our branches❤

I tear up every dang time. My dad was a civilian shoulder in the fire department but the trauma, the death, the PTSD is very similar. He did a lot wrong (untreated ptsd doesn't work well with small children) but my dad is a damn good man. I've attended dozens of soldier funerals including some visited by the West Borough Baptist Church as my father was a member of the color guard. I've known how to fold a flag as long as I've known how to fold a shirt.

Thank you for your service/sacrifice

Thanks for your service.l appreciate you

Thank you for you and your family and the sacrifices made for the rest of us!!!! Love your reactions.

Made in America by Toby Keith is a great one as well.

I'm in Fayetteville NC and my neighbor is 82nd airborne at Ft Bragg/Liberty. When he's gone for days at a time, I worry about him, he's only 23 and I'm a 58 yr old grandma

Love your reaction, and your honest words. From an old Vietnan Era AF Vet. I hope things are better for your generation of service men, as far the ugly treatment from our countrymen.

My sister went to a concert back in the lead singer for the band stated "I don't give a f**k if you support this war but you better damn well support our troops". My family has a lot of military servies, my maternal grandfather was in the Army-Air Force he was a Pararescue, My Mother, her sister, and one of my uncles were military. My Father was military, his father was military. My brother was military and those are just the ones I know of, my sister wanted to be military but just like me she will not qualify. Mine being that I will always NEED to be on a mood stabilizer which is normally used for depression (not why I'm onit) and my sisters was for other reasons.

Thank you for your service and all others. RIP Toby still can't believe he's gone.

❤🇺🇸 thank you to all service members yourself included because I know Freedom doesn't come free and you provide that blanket of Freedom every night 🇺🇸❤

I think it’s so important for people to separate their feelings of disagreement with war and certain conflicts from the individuals who serve. There’s stuff our country went to war over or did during wartime that I think is awful, but I still love and respect those who serve. We should blame the government or the specific politicians, not our men and women who serve! Thank you for your service brother!

Thank you for your service sir.
