Toby wrote what all of us were feeling after 9/11. My daughter & I saw him several times, & every time he'd do that song, the crowd went wild. Unfortunately, no one will be able to see him perform live again. Sadly, he passed away Monday February 5, 2024 from stomach Cancer that he'd been battling for a few yrs.😭 A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the men & women who are serving our country now, & to our Veterans for all you are doing & have done for us.❤️
I'm watching this reaction February 10, 2024. It's heartbreaking that Toby Keith lost his battle with cancer on February 5th. He is a true American hero. It was always an honor to him to be able to go entertain our troops. I believe they said he made like 13 trips overseas. RIP.
Toby not only talked the talk, he walked the walk. He went 11, 11 times, name me one celab that came close to that. You can't. Hollywood celebrities are pussies.
Vets are always saying, "I'm no Hero, I was just doing my job." Sorry, I love the humility and respect for the Fallen, but damnit y'all are Heroes! I couldn't be more grateful for you guys. Nor, could I respect you guys any more, than I already do.
Most say that because they made it home. Truthfully they are all hero’s they just don’t see it that way. I was born and raised in the AF married Army. My parents and husband just see it as a service to their country. I’ve seen my husband lose soldiers. Physically he’s safe. Sometimes mentally not so. We also made amazing friends over the years. I could go one but 🤷🏼♀️😂 I’ll ramble then cry lol.
@@sil1598 I watched an interview of a D-Day Veteran, named Frank Devita. He said, "I'm no Hero, I'm just a Survivor. The Heroes are the ones that didn't come home." The Survivor's Guilt must be absolutely devastating to Veterans. Like you say and I agree %100, they are all Heroes! Thank you for your and your family's service to this country! Regardless of what is going on atm in this country, there are FAR more grateful citizens, than not.
Couldn't agree more. I love their humility and humbleness but, there comes a point where it's like, "STAND UP A TAKE A BOW!" LIKE THE SONG SAYS, YOU WERE FIGHTING, GOING THROUGH THINGS WELL NEVER KNOW, SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE WHEN WE LAY DOWN OUR HEADS! But, as heroic as they are, and proud, they always be humble about it and that makes them even more.... STRONG, CARING, AND BRAVE PEOPLE! MUCH APPRECIATED 💯🇺🇸🙏 Hope that last sentence made sense, like it did in my head!
My dad served in Vietnam, wouldn't talk much about his time over there, BUT he did talk about Johnny Cash coming over and he shook his hand, meant A LOT to him!
Yeah my grandpa served in Vietnam too he has never told me anything about the war but my parents have told me a little bit and they go through a lot 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My brother served in Vietnam, 2 tours, almost 3. The man who Was my brother when he went did not come back as my big brother. He came back with a “ tick” in his right shoulder, he curse at everybody but our dad.The only person Jim would talk about Vietnam with was our dad. I was very firmly told by my father, to never ask Jim about Vietnam ( I was smart enough to know not to). He started “drinking” as my sweet mother called it. But that wasn’t all he did…. Or use….. Jim is going now, cancer of the colon. H e never went to a doctor…. He died 9-10-2019, was cremated, I have no idea where is ashes are. His girlfriend got everything…I don’t care, I just miss him, I miss my big brother.
My daddy was in WW2. After he died we found hundreds of photos and medals. The greatest generation never talked about it. My daddy was in the Philippines.
He donated most of the proceeds from this song to the injured veterans….wounded warriors..He gives a lot back to the veterans…He is a really great famous person but isn’t that guy who thinks he above everyone very humble….He gives back and remembers where he came from.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..Much Respect for Toby Keith
First time I met Toby Keith was when I was recuperating in Germany after being shot down over Iraq. This vet truly appreciates all that come over and support us when they don’t have to thank you my brother’s for your service. 3 wars, over 300 combat missions USNVP
Love this song even though my eyes start t water. I am also a Navy veteran. Thanks to all my brothers and sisters who served and are serving this country.
Veterans are special because what they do is not only heroic, it is giving their all for the love of their country. They love the USA and their families more than themselves, so much so they will sacrifice their lives for America. That's one of the reasons they stay in our hearts forever. And we can't even pay them back for their sacrifices, we don't have anything to give that's worthy of what they do for us. We love you and pray God blesses all of you. Thank you. And thank you, Stan. You make us proud to be American.❤❤❤ 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I had three sons in service. They all feel uncomfortable when people come up and thank them for their service. And I tell them they need to receive people's gratitude because people need to be grateful. A nation that is ungrateful is a dark and ugly place. They'll respond back that they were just doing a job. And I tell them they signed their name on a check that never got cashed but they signed. They put their lives on the line. The fact that they didn't die or suffer it doesn't count. They stepped up and got up on the front line and signed the check. Thank you for your service sir
I hate it when people Thank Me for My Service. I just say Thank You. I went in the Navy 2 years after the final pullout from Nam when alot of citizens still hated the military. I was in foe 12 years and the closest to danger was 1978 Israel and 1980-81 sailing off the coast of Iran and we left when Reagan took office and the hostages were freed. We thought about what if we were attacked but we just had a job to do. They talk of survivors guilt but it also affects Vets wondering why we were never in combat and we got to come home.
@@Ronald-k6s I see this as one way a veteran can look at his or her service. But, that's not how most Americans look at it. Regardless of what duty a vet is assigned to, what the timing of their service was, it is the fact that they are away from home, usually for long periods of time, missing their families, holidays, children growing, ready to follow orders whatever they are, whatever the outcome. It is not what their service entails, it's just that we are here at home with our loved ones living our normal, safe lives and our servicemen and women are not. That's one reason why we want to say thank you. Another reason is we are proud of you for voluntarily being in the service of our country in whatever capacity, being ready for whatever may occur and to do what is necessary in your job, and that we are so happy you are back home and we love you all.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏
You mentioned Bob Hope. My grandfather saw him in WW2 on Guadalcanal, my Uncle saw him in Korea, I saw him when I was at DaNang Vietnam, and my daughter saw him in Japan a few years before he couldn’t tour anymore. A great man who we all loved.
Thank you for your service Stan! You are so right, I get so emotional when Veterans are recognized. My husband was 22 yrs Navy and I am honored to have been associated.
Being a Veteran is a brotherhood I feel so honored to be a member of! Hey Stan, don't take no crap. My grandpa was a squid in WWII, and this ole sod stomper is damned proud of his service!
Rest in peace Toby Keith. To me, this wasn’t just a response after 9/11, it was Toby’s tribute to all men and women that have served. From the far past, to the recent present, and the future yet seen.
Toby Keith, Craig Morgan, The Zack Brown Brand, Trace Adkins, and a few others are very patriotic and have been overseas to perform for the soldiers and such. Truly amazing.
My dad is in his 70s...he was in Vietnam... He still talks about Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller coming to his camp. He drove the portable bridges and ration trucks. The ppl that come to entertain the troops make more of a difference than most of them realize.
Back in 2005, my husband was deployed for the first of three times to Iraq between the years of 2005 and 2010 (he was honorably discharged in 2011). And this song, it made me damn proud to be a combat soldier's wife. While he did, thank God, return to us in one piece, physically, the same cannot be said for his mental state. He's spent years since that FIRST deployment trying to be okay. The second and third deployments, each a bit over one year, weren't as traumatic as the first, but weren't a piece of cake by any means... but that first one, in 2005, changed my husband. I am SO grateful for ALL of you out there who served. My father did, during Vietnam, my grandfather (maternal side) fought at the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, so all the men I love have served, all in the US Army, Field Artillery. Not sure how that happened, but I'm grateful beyond words for all the men and women who stood beside each of them. THANK YOU for your service.
My daddy was in North Africa in WWII. My best friend was an airborne ranger in Vietnam. They talked about things together they never told anyone else. One battle my father was in 7,000 allied forces went into a pass only 3,000 came out alive. God bless our soldiers
The Big Mexican Troll actually he wasn’t even gonna publicly release this song outside of the military but some officers convinced him to post him after performing at those military bases
I’m a native Okie and the scoop on Toby Keith is he is the real deal. Story about his dad is true. I have listen to the song 100 times and it still gives me goosebumps. I am so glad you guys got to hear it, and Stan bless you for your service to our country.
My father-in-law served 3 1/2 yrs in Europe during WWII, my dad served in Korea, oldest brother in Vietnam, older brother 22 yrs Army, grandsons in Army and Navy during the last 10 yrs - EVERY one are heroes.
I'm a huge Toby Keith fan. I served in the United States Navy like Stan. I served during the Iraq War and I was proud to serve my country. God bless all military service members retired and active. Thank you for your service to our beautiful country.
I just came on here. Been watching a lot Toby videos. He's battling stomach cancer but is doing ok. I live about 30 miles from him and was acquainted with his father ( in the video). Loved your heartfelt reaction. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Toby Keith is a Military son. And he has been on the front line many times although he’s never been in listed he has been on the front line entertaining our troops throughout his career.
The song was written in late 2001, and was inspired by Keith's father's death in March 2001, as well as the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States later that year. It was released in May 2002 as the lead single from the album, Unleashed.
Toby is the only one still dedicated to go overseas every year. Toby is the new Bob Hope... others might come a little but Toby is always there, and totally a regular guy.
Thank you for your service. My husband was in the Navy during the Vietnam War serving on an aircraft carrier. He now gets people thanking him for his service that didn't happen for over 30 years. We need to always thank our service men and women and their families for their sacrifice for our country.
For those that thanked me for my service, I appreciate it BUT, please start simply sayin “Never Forget” for me that says more. I volunteered and was trained to do what I did. I’m no hero, I volunteered, I was trained to do what I did/do.........the Real hero’s are those everyday people who go above and beyond, flight 91, teacher who died in a school shooting to protect her students, etc etc. I would like to think that the thing I sacrificed for has not been forgotten. I’d like to think that people would remember that the American Experiment is about making the INDIVIDUAL king. That’s worth sacrificing. ALL individuals, not this group or that group etc. Lose the heard mentality, I’m a republican/Democrat etc, this religion that religion........it’s simply about the individual.........any group by definition is not about the individual, the trick is to remain an individual and work together to solve individual needs. One should Come Before The Many, it’s the only way to stay free. Each INDIVIDUAL respecting the other as an individual and treating them accordingly. OK, done with my morning rant.
US Navy here as well. Vietnam Vet. It warms my old heart to see the way the Vets are respected now, but a little sad because we of our era were not greeted so warmly. But hey, it is what it is. Glad things have changed.
Toby kicks butt! From what I know, it seems like most of the entertainers who go and entertain the troops are country music stars. They just seem to have bigger hearts and be more patriotic. If you haven't already, please react to Trace Adkins song Arlington oh, it is beautiful and very moving..
his place in Norman, OK. has a huge American flag out front of his place and it's beautiful, makes me misty eyed evertime I drive that way. what you see with Toby Keith, is what you get. one of the great guys. proud he's from Oklahoma.
I have so much respect for you and all that have served this Country. You are all willing to sacrifice so much, including your lives for others and I am forever grateful for that. Thank you for your service and to all the other vets who may read this. You are all true Red, White and Blue American Heroes. With my hands over my heart and prayers every night to those have and are currently serving, may God bless you all and keep you safe. Amen.
Don’t know if you know this but this song was written right after 9/11. That’s where the whole (The Angry American) comes from and the meaning behind it
PAPA BEAR did I say that? No I said he didn’t make the song for receiving money. He didn’t release the song for the longest time and only played it for our troops overseas. He only released it because the troops kept telling him to share it with everyone
This is my first time sitting in with you fellas, thank you for allowing me to do that, I enjoyed the time I spent with you so I subscribed and left a like for you while I was here. Thank you for your service!
We only play this song on the 4th of July my brother won’t let us play it any other day. I love our country and I’m so thankful for the men and women that keep us safe and keep us free. My grandpa severed in Vietnam
Got to see his concert right after September 11th when this song was big... he brought EVERY veteran up on stage to hang with him when he sang this one!! LOVED IT!
Thank you for your service. Thank you so much. Just to let you know, Jesus loves you and he died for you and its by his grace that anyone makes it out alright.
I was on the USS Kittyhawk 99-04 I did not get to see Toby Keith but The Rock came to the ship and Collective soul did come over to Bahrain. It was nice to know we were not forgotten.
Toby wrote what all of us were feeling after 9/11. My daughter & I saw him several times, & every time he'd do that song, the crowd went wild.

Amen God bless his family and all our veterans active duty n all first responders ❤❤❤
Toby Keith was an unabashed patriot. His other wonderful song honoring those who serve is called "American Soldier."
AMEN!

So sad to lose someone so good. Thank goodness we have these videos to watch and share with others.❤

A great song by a great country singer and a great American. .....RIP Toby Keith😢♥️🇺🇸
Toby wrote this song right after 9/11. This was also the first song I learned all the words to, I was like 3 or 4
Same here, I remember being 5 or 6 and just getting my first CD player. My mom had the album and I listened to it and this song specifically non-stop
ALL the words? 😳 oh my... 😂
Pretty sure when this came out, he had said it only took him 30 minutes to write. 9/11 definitely had emotion flowing out from everyone.
Merrica babyyy!!!
Same here. I was 8 and one of the first song I even remember knowing the name of.
He donated most of the proceeds from this song to the injured veterans….wounded warriors..He gives a lot back to the veterans…He is a really great famous person but isn’t that guy who thinks he above everyone very humble….He gives back and remembers where he came from.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..Much Respect for Toby Keith
Sad fact: Over 9000 Americans were LEFT BEHIND in Afghanistan while MANY THOUSANDS of Afghans were brought to America and dispersed all over America
I miss Toby so much
We do too.

Don't sleep on the legend Robin Williams, He went over multiple times.

Veterans are the real patriots of the United States 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 You deserve ALL the respect 🙏 👏 🙌
My dad is in his 70s...he was in Vietnam... He still talks about Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller coming to his camp. He drove the portable bridges and ration trucks. The ppl that come to entertain the troops make more of a difference than most of them realize.
This amazing song is sitting at 76 million view as of July 4 2024. Still needs to be in the billions
Stan, you really touched my heart. Thank you sir, for your sacrifice and service. It means the world to me. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
By the way, that last line gets me every time. "Of MY red, white, and blue!"
God bless you, Toby. RIP.

RIP to my favorite country music musician
So much sacrifice for leaders who are so unworthy. It's heartbreaking.
Toby has performed before a lot of military both overseas and here in America.
Yeah he used 911 to make money. Then retired because he made so much. Get woke.
The Big Mexican Troll actually he wasn’t even gonna publicly release this song outside of the military but some officers convinced him to post him after performing at those military bases
@@thebigmexicantroll6581 no he still performs and he is a proud American and was pissed about 911
I saw him in Iraq, amazing concert.
@@thebigmexicantroll6581 stop being a douche.
1. Enjoy your reactions Gentlemen.
2. Stan: Thank You for your Service Sir.
Thank you Sir, for your service!❤
Thank you gentleman for your service. God bless the United States of America
Please do "American Soldier" by Toby Keith.
Great song!
love you toby RIP 2/5/2024 know you are with god
The charge that he gives each person there when there was so much going on after 9/11 chokes me up every single time. Great choice!

I am so glad you guys got to hear it, and Stan bless you for your service to our country.
I'm an Okie too
Real men cry in the face of bravery & honor. Thank you for being a man. We have too many boys in this country now-a-days.
My father-in-law served 3 1/2 yrs in Europe during WWII, my dad served in Korea, oldest brother in Vietnam, older brother 22 yrs Army, grandsons in Army and Navy during the last 10 yrs - EVERY one are heroes.
Toby Keith is a badass and he genuinely cares for our troops
never had the pleasure of seeing him in concert but one day I will
Every REAL America respects serving members and veterans…. PERIOD!
NAH
I'm a huge Toby Keith fan. I served in the United States Navy like Stan. I served during the Iraq War and I was proud to serve my country. God bless all military service members retired and active. Thank you for your service to our beautiful country.
Navy vet here, 1964 to 1970! Thanks for serving !
To the guy in the Steelers Hat,thank you for your service
Goosebumps. Every single time.
I just came on here. Been watching a lot Toby videos. He's battling stomach cancer but is doing ok. I live about 30 miles from him and was acquainted with his father ( in the video). Loved your heartfelt reaction. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Big miss on the fact that this was shortly in the wake of the 911 attack. Tremendous motivator for those of us serving and folks at home.
Thank you for your service. My husband was in the Navy during the Vietnam War serving on an aircraft carrier. He now gets people thanking him for his service that didn't happen for over 30 years. We need to always thank our service men and women and their families for their sacrifice for our country.
9/11 tribute and for his father who passed away. Proud American and thank you for your service. I can lay down at peace at night because of you.
9-11-19 watching thinking of those who sacrifice. Retired 21yrs
Jeff Thank you for your sacrifice. Welcome home sir...🇺🇸❤️
Jeff 23 years here...thank you for your courage and all those who have served. Salute
Thank you for your service! You are a true hero!
Thank you for the kind words. Pleasure
For those that thanked me for my service, I appreciate it BUT, please start simply sayin “Never Forget” for me that says more. I volunteered and was trained to do what I did. I’m no hero, I volunteered, I was trained to do what I did/do.........the Real hero’s are those everyday people who go above and beyond, flight 91, teacher who died in a school shooting to protect her students, etc etc. I would like to think that the thing I sacrificed for has not been forgotten. I’d like to think that people would remember that the American Experiment is about making the INDIVIDUAL king. That’s worth sacrificing. ALL individuals, not this group or that group etc. Lose the heard mentality, I’m a republican/Democrat etc, this religion that religion........it’s simply about the individual.........any group by definition is not about the individual, the trick is to remain an individual and work together to solve individual needs. One should Come Before The Many, it’s the only way to stay free. Each INDIVIDUAL respecting the other as an individual and treating them accordingly. OK, done with my morning rant.
S - thank you for your service Brother.....utmost respect for all who have served and currently serve! 💞💞💞💞💞
Read the honorary plaque, that was him riding in the tank, Toby Keith: Tank Commander
Stan, thank you very much for your service. I salute you and your bravery.
US Navy here as well. Vietnam Vet. It warms my old heart to see the way the Vets are respected now, but a little sad because we of our era were not greeted so warmly. But hey, it is what it is. Glad things have changed.
Thank you for your service. Without you we wouldn’t exist as the most powerful country on the planet!!
TOBY PASSED AWAY on February 2024 STOMACH CANCER 😢😢😢...BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER.
Thank you for your service sir! 🙏
Toby Keith is a hero. He honors our military when others won't. God Bless America.
This always makes me cry😭...my deceased dad USMC veteran of Vietnam 3 tours. Support our vets,always ....
Thank you for your service Stan! Lee Greenwood had a Song " God Bless the USA"
Toby kicks butt! From what I know, it seems like most of the entertainers who go and entertain the troops are country music stars. They just seem to have bigger hearts and be more patriotic. If you haven't already, please react to Trace Adkins song Arlington oh, it is beautiful and very moving..
My dad would always say I don’t stand up because I wasn’t active. I always thought that was the most admirable thing that someone could do!
Thank you, sir, for your service. And next to your uniform hat, you're wearing the next best, go Steelers!
his place in Norman, OK. has a huge American flag out front of his place and it's beautiful, makes me misty eyed evertime I drive that way. what you see with Toby Keith, is what you get. one of the great guys. proud he's from Oklahoma.
I have so much respect for you and all that have served this Country. You are all willing to sacrifice so much, including your lives for others and I am forever grateful for that. Thank you for your service and to all the other vets who may read this. You are all true Red, White and Blue American Heroes. With my hands over my heart and prayers every night to those have and are currently serving, may God bless you all and keep you safe. Amen.
Don’t know if you know this but this song was written right after 9/11. That’s where the whole (The Angry American) comes from and the meaning behind it
Yeap, Toby used that tragedy to make money
PAPA BEAR you must not know him very well. He wasn’t doing it for any money whatsoever
@@emilyblack3927 He did not make money with the song? are you sure? LOL
PAPA BEAR did I say that? No I said he didn’t make the song for receiving money. He didn’t release the song for the longest time and only played it for our troops overseas. He only released it because the troops kept telling him to share it with everyone
@@emilyblack3927 Of course he did......LOL
Loved to see you review Allen Jacksons "Where were you when the World stopped turning "?
This is my first time sitting in with you fellas, thank you for allowing me to do that, I enjoyed the time I spent with you so I subscribed and left a like for you while I was here.
Thank you for your service!
Thank You And God Bless You Stan, For Your Service.
Thank you S for your service and B thank you for your father's service I appreciate all vet and the men and women who are serving
Amazing song….. goosebumps every time!
This one hit me hard. Rest in peace, Toby
We only play this song on the 4th of July my brother won’t let us play it any other day. I love our country and I’m so thankful for the men and women that keep us safe and keep us free. My grandpa severed in Vietnam
Pray for Toby Keith as he battles cancer.

Got to see his concert right after September 11th when this song was big... he brought EVERY veteran up on stage to hang with him when he sang this one!! LOVED IT!
Thank you for your service. Thank you so much. Just to let you know, Jesus loves you and he died for you and its by his grace that anyone makes it out alright.
Thank you to all the veterans who served & are serving in the arm services.
Listen to Have you forgotten by Daryl Worley
Toby Keith does wonderful music in regards to our military!
Thank you for your service Stan!!! ❤️🇱🇷
My first Christmas away from home was in 1966 at Fort Polk, Louisiana and Louie Armstrong performed. Made me feel that someone cared.
I was on the USS Kittyhawk 99-04 I did not get to see Toby Keith but The Rock came to the ship and Collective soul did come over to Bahrain. It was nice to know we were not forgotten.
