You're right bro. Senators and Representatives get free health care and a pension for life. Who gave more for us? Veterans or Congress? Thank you for your service dude.
Our soldiers have earned it. Their children should get free college. Soldiers that serve and served should get things given to them. Not those in office.
Toby's father really did lose his eye while in the service. Toby wrote this song after the world Trade Centers were hit on 9/11/2001, but only performed the song for the troops while visiting them. Some of the soldiers pushed him to record and release the song to the general public. He still performs for and supports our military. Great Reaction.
He performed 140 times for troops overseas and never asked for press or published anything to get credit for it. He did it because he truly loves to give back to our military. He gives veterans or active duty a free burger and beer at the restaurants he owns. He is an incredible supporter or our military and just an amazing artist all around. Great reaction!
Damn! Definitely a patriot- I love our country but even I’m not sure if I’d go that far; then again, the more I think about it the more I like the idea!
I fully concur!!! But why pay more taxes... we should just quit paying politicians after they leave office, and instead give that money to care for veterans!!! No other job continues to pay you, for life, after you leave a job... why should politicians be the exemption?...
@Christian V Why? Why should Americans have to risk their lives fighting nonsense wars just to get something every other developed country gives as a basic human right? God you people are selfish.
I remember when that war started, troops got taken hostage. When they finally got freed, they said they drove their captures crazy singing this song!!! Lol
😂😂 I’m a veteran and was in the Marines when 9/11 happened and was active duty when this song came out! I can validate this accusation as being true 😂😂😂😂
I've seen Toby Keith in concert five times and every concert he ends his show with this song with veterans on stage with him. He always lets the veteran shout out the Boot in your ass line. The last thing Toby tells his audience is "Don't ever apologize for being patriotic, Fuck 'em." I love that guy. USN, two tours.
Every time I start thinking the younger generation is lost I stumble across someone like you who reminds me all is not lost. Thank you for serving so we can all enjoy our freedom
@@same_ole_lemonz4195 I wish our country was still as united as it was after 9/11. I’m only 24 and my generation is full of snowflakes but there’s some good ones out there.
@@silence3314 9/11 was one of the reasons we began to pay more attention to _threats from within_ but we seem to have forgotten that what with us all just letting our freedoms be literally taken away one by one, like the right to refuse "medical treatment" and the right to bear arms, I can only pray that we can fight back, because this wasn't a sucker punch rather its come in like a poison dart and as a general population we're almost too tired to rip that dart out before it kills us and fight back against the threats from within.
That was before I was born, however when I learned of this I cried. I knew a man who lost his leg in Vietnam. He told me that when his plane landed in America the one of the men who was carrying his stretcher said " Welcome home soldier. We have to take out the back because the mob in the front will kill you." I'm tearing up even as I write this. That was unforgivable.
I have an uncle who served in Vietnam and did 3 tours because he'd rather be over there being treated better than he was over here. He was an inspiration to me and my cousins who all served.
the reason for that was the Media. Same as today. They find the one story that makes the US look bad and they repeat it over and over. Thank God most of us learned our lesson from the way the Vietnam veterans were treated and refused to treat all service members with that broad stroke.
Had a friend (we called him uncle) across the street and he served in Vietnam, he was a helicopter gunner and survived 2 helicopter crashes. Man was a badass and he never spoke about it, my grandpa (his best friend) was the one who told me the stories. I don't know how he was treated when he came home, but we live in Jacksonville (military friendly city) and I hope he got the respect he deserved. Even though he ain't blood, he is family.
As a retired “military wife”, I thank you for speaking the realities of life for the military veteran, and please continue to do so. Rally your viewers to get Washington to do the right thing, for those who pledged their all so the rest of us can wake up free every morning.
Met my husband when I was 13 and he was 16. I went with him to the Recruiting office when he joined and took him to the airport when he left for basic. We got married a year after I graduated high school. He did, or we did, 21 years active Army. He retired in 2002 and we will be celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary in July 2021. We had the pleasure of seeing Toby Keith and Trace Atkins live so these songs are extra special to us! Much love to all of our fellow brothers, sisters and military families out there. Hoorah!!!
Shouldn't have to "storm" a public building, should they? When I was a kid we played on the steps of the Capitol in Albany, went in and took photos of the staircase while the politicians talked and shook hands. They are elected representatives, not gods. @@HiddenCharmhome
Our Veterans should be taken care of, first and foremost. They have earned it. I come from a family of military men and women. I’m proud to be American and I thank you for your service, Sir. God bless! ❤😊🇺🇸
Drafted individuals should have health benefits paid by Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Taxpayer. For those that voluntarily enlist, expecting further benefits beyond those which were agreed upon during enlistment would be unreasonable. Those that would expect such are those that believe in socialism, whether you like it or not.
Hey Billy just so u know toby has a rule for all his shows any veterans or active duty members get in free if they r in uniform and he pulls them onstage to thank them for their service
Michael Jarrett My husband was a total stickler about his uniform. He ribs active duty for not wearing their cover outdoors to this day. That’s the only reason I know these things 😀
I've been to 3 concerts that he has given and in every one he pulls up military personnel (in or out of uniform), especially veterans, from the pit areas in front of the stage
I was there in 2004 in Taji when he came, after a year of war, seeing him refueled my team for the 2nd year. He will always be truly a hero in my mind. My boys were so happy when we got off of convoy duty for the night and see him. watching this video brings back old memories... sad and happy. thanks for sharing.
I'm a generational veteran. Two years after my dad got out I went and served (20 y/o) and left my 10 month old behind. Between basic and AIT, it was almost a year before my son and I were back together. This song gave me a feeling of pride and purpose (2006-2010). We need this kind of pride back in our country.
This song makes me cry everytime. I never served but I have a respect for my country and the men and women who protect and serve us to allow us the freedoms we enjoy. Thank you thank you!
I met Toby 2 1/2 years ago when we were on a motorcycle toy run here in Oklahoma. He is the most humble and honorable guy you will ever meet. i spoke with him and when he found out my daughter is serving in the Navy, he told me to tell her Thank you.
As the daughter of a pair of Army vets, the niece of a Navy vet and the younger sister of a former Marine, I thank you for your own service and for doing this song!
He told many tv hosts where to put it when they asked him to preform this song on the 4 of July but take the Boot in the A$$ line out as it was not proper for the show. That line is very symbolic for Americans.
He wrote this right after 9/11, America has a unique quirk, we might fight amoungst our self, but the moment someone attacks us we unite faster than you can say Uncle Sam, Its been said by other countries, that we unite fast when there is a shout from without, I am reminded of an Irish saying I learned growing up, A family of Irish birth Will argue and fight But let a shout come from without And see them all Unite
WizardPandora Exactly. This was written addressing the terrorist attacks that ‘sucker punched us’. Yep we can argue and fight amongst ourselves, but no one else better bother anyone here. It’s a family thing. I heard a guy call in in the radio, after 911. He was from the Dixie south. He said “those the terrorist hit might be damn Yankees to us, but they are our Yankees and we won’t tolerate anyone hurtin’ them. Someone’s about to get their ass kicked by us.” And by golly, he was exactly right. Like Toby said, “Don’t rattle this dogs cage”. We are not called the United States for nothing.
You would think that the world would have learned that particular lesson after 12/7/1941. And for the most part, they did. Unfortunately, there’s always going to be some assholes who forget that lesson and have to be taught it the hard way.
That wasn't just 1 performance hes done more shows in war zones than anyone ever has never asked for a dime he was recognized by the uso for his contributions to the military.. while on base in a forward zone the base came under attack he said pass me a gun...
As the wife of a disabled vietnam veteran, I agree with you about health care for vets. My husband was in 2 of the highest sprayed areas in Vietnam. The was exposed to agent orange by our own government, and it's a fight all the time to get help in some areas. Thank you for your service Sweetie. Remember to keep copies of your VA records, sometimes they lose you. I've been dealing with them for 40 years, they have lost my husband 3 times so far.
My daughter was Navy and is tiny. Every piece of clothing and shoes had to be specially made for her and it cost her a small fortune. Thank you for your service sir.
I had my duffel bag with my dog tags, pt gear, greens all of it. Sealed in a small closet in my pops house. Walled in. Someday I assume someone will find em..kinda cool.
Wow! I didn't know that some of the vets had to pay for dental/vision/etc. My hubby (now deceased) was a 100% service connected disabled Marine and he didn't have to pay for any of the care at the VA hospital near where we lived. All vets should have the same benefits in my opinion. Thank you, Billy, for your service. We appreciate it!!
Rest In Peace to the battle that paved the way for me to serve. You are correct when you are 100% service connected it is paid for. But anything under 100 you have to pay which is wild. That should have been changed YEARS ago! But anyways thank you for watching
This came out right after 9/11 (which happens to be my bday). I was blessed to see him preform this live on his first tour after writing this ... Ive been to sooooo many concerts and have never in my life felt such huge vibe and total togetherness happening in that stadium. Moment I will never forget. Especially on my birthday.
Thank you for your service. My dad was a Korean War veteran of the Army, injured while pulling one of the men in his platoon back to the foxhole. He had shrapnel from a mortar go through his arms and legs and the blast rupturing an eardrum. He was airlifted to a MASH unit and then spent a month in a hospital in Osaka.. Most of his medical was received at the VA and they supplied his hearing aids because it was service connected but he had to pay his own dental too. I heard an interview with Toby Keith saying he never intended to record this song, it was just something he played at the USO shows. After a big shoe in Iraq, he met Donald Rumsfield and Rumsfield told him he should definitely record it and that was when he started to consider it.
@The Greatest Of All Time not quite sure what your asking but I think you want to know what the USO is. They're an organization that puts on shows for the troops around the world. They go wherever they are to entertain and show our live and support for their sacrifices.
Sanni Epstein Yes it should. Other Americans don’t risk their life overseas unlike our military. They’re definitely in a separate category from civilians.
Thank you for your service and welcome home.. I may be late on it but I was not in existance during Vietnam... The Vietnam vets got treated so poorly coming home but I appreciate everything y'all did thanks again and welcome home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
First and mostly Thank you for your service. Second, the veterans deserve the absolute best of everything at no cost!! They have already paid the price! God Bless!!
Thank u for you're service!! I completely 100% agree! My little bro is in the military and I just can't believe how our military is treated not only while they are serving but after is an embarrassment 😕 😔 we really need c to do soo much more!!!
When we were finishing up basic training, this song had just come out and our Drill Sergeant asked if anyone knew a song while we were cleaning weapons. I stood up and sang this. Had the whole company going off! It was a great moment!
I saw Toby live in September. When he sang this song he called all the veterans in the crowds onto the stage to sing with him. They even helped a man get up with his wheelchair.
Billy, Thank you for your honest reactions to songs honoring those of us that chose to put other peoples lives and freedoms ahead of our own and thank you for your service to this the greatest country in the world. (former) SSgt Charles Cochran, 1313th Engineers IARNG 1969-1981 (Yeah, Basic / AIT @ Ft Leonard Wood 1970)
Thank you for your working through whatever you did while working for our nation. Amen one nation of every colour and religious or nonreligious people.
I agree 100%, veterans should never foot the bill for medical/ dental/ mental health. Thank you veterans for your service. Happy Memorial Day, remember those that never came home. ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Toby is one of my favorite country artists and i love this song . My grandpa served in Korea and my cousin Christian is in the national guard . I'm so glad I found ur channel 😁
When my late husband returned from Vietnam he burned all his uniforms not because he didn’t love this country but he was so upset about the friends he lost. Two years later when he got called up for reserves we had to go out and buy all new uniforms. Thank you for your service and all those that serve and served
Thanks for the Veteran tribute. My husband is a Veteran of The Vietnam War, USAF. I enjoyed your reaction to this version , would you consider reacting to this same song titled "USAF Tribute"?
Thank you for your service! Military service personnel should be first in line for medical/housing etc. FIRST! As Toby said " so we can sleep in peace when we lay down our head " Sincere heartfelt THANKS!
Happy memorial Day Billy thank you for your service to this country and thank you to eney other veteran watching and my condolences to all that have lost a fammy member or friend to war
Rest easy Toby Keith. Not a big country fan but grew up hearing his music and watching his videos, he really is a legend. 30 year career is something to be genuinely impressed with.
Billy I have so many vets in my family and I believe the government should cover all medical expenses and should pay back for any physical or mental damages endured though military services. Thank you from all of my heart all you beautiful men who have given your lives to protect the lives of the citizens of the United States of America!
Thank you for your service my dude! I salute your sacrifice! Your damn right you shouldn't have to pay for any medical and there's a lot more this country should do for you guys! My mom served she was one of first women to join in Oh and she fights for all benefits... Not cool man! God Bless you and thank you again my dude!!
Thank you for your service! My Grandfather proudly served in the Navy back in WWII. He loved his fellow Seabees and attended reunions every year until he passed away in '91. Miss you, Granddaddy! Thank you to all who serve! Shout outs, from Tennessee
We should 100% take care of our veterans. It sickens me that we, as a country, often fail them. They deserve our undying respect. Thank you for your service.
Yes its bs how veterans get treated. My son has nothing as far as benefits from the military. Shame on the government for not taking better care of the veterans
First of all, thank you for serving. Second, I agree that soldiers offer everything of themselves, up to & including their LIVES, and when they’re done serving they should be taken care of!
Michael mabrey that’s a song that I heard on AM radio in Fresno CA before it was even released and bawled my eyes out and still do every time I hear it
BILLY, I AM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL, BUT I HAVE BECOME ADDICTED. I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, YOU ARE SINCERE ABOUT YOUR REACTIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, AND GOD BLESS !!!!!!!
You're right bro. Senators and Representatives get free health care and a pension for life. Who gave more for us? Veterans or Congress? Thank you for your service dude.
It’s so crazy!! Appreciate you watching bro
They shouldn't. No one should.

Everyone should have free health care it shouldn't be a monetized issue.

Saw him in Naples Italy when I was stationed there. Great concert!
"Some of the soldiers" was mostly the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
He served himself as well
Saw him in Iraq and the crowd roared the country when he played this.

I remember when I first heard this song after 9/11. Really fired me up...still does.

Toby Keith's father actually served in the Military. Toby originally wrote this song as a tribute to his dad.
Dillon James Locke actually it was in response to 9/11.
I believe American soldier was written for his dad.
That is incorrect my friend, this song is for 9/11
Thank you, for playing this song!!! It is a great tribute to all who have served
Thank you for your service. My dad was a Korean War veteran of the Army, injured while pulling one of the men in his platoon back to the foxhole. He had shrapnel from a mortar go through his arms and legs and the blast rupturing an eardrum. He was airlifted to a MASH unit and then spent a month in a hospital in Osaka.. Most of his medical was received at the VA and they supplied his hearing aids because it was service connected but he had to pay his own dental too.
I heard an interview with Toby Keith saying he never intended to record this song, it was just something he played at the USO shows. After a big shoe in Iraq, he met Donald Rumsfield and Rumsfield told him he should definitely record it and that was when he started to consider it.
All veteran medical costs should be provided for life and these medical opportunities should be of the highest quality.
Toby Keith does tons of USO tours
Kid rock as well. Some good men.
Kane brown has started going around performing for troops as well.
@The Greatest Of All Time not quite sure what your asking but I think you want to know what the USO is. They're an organization that puts on shows for the troops around the world. They go wherever they are to entertain and show our live and support for their sacrifices.
Robin Williams did 6 or 7 USO tours as well. :(
❤️💙🇺🇸💙❤️
In Loving Memory to All Fallen Soldiers. We honor you today for the sacrifice you made for your country. Never Forgotten!
❤️💙🇺🇸💙❤️
AGREED! Veterans should be paid more, have every benefit available and be treated SO much better!! Thank you for keeping us safe!
You are so right. Veterans and seniors should never have to worry about healthcare!
I agree ,,, we need to take care of our veterans there is no price for your service, thank you
Amen! I believe the same! God Bless You! Thank you for your service! And keep up the great reaction video's! ! 💕🇺🇸💕
From one vet to another, THANK YOU for your service.
I agree billy veterans should never have to worry about nuthin or pay for anything
Toby Keith has always been supportive of our fighting men and women. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Veterans should not have to want for anything once they get out of the service. Everything should be covered 100 percent.
With all respect, neither military service nor political office should place you in a separate class from other Americans.
Sanni Epstein Yes it should. Other Americans don’t risk their life overseas unlike our military. They’re definitely in a separate category from civilians.
thank you for your service i served from 73-77
Thank you for your service and welcome home.. I may be late on it but I was not in existance during Vietnam... The Vietnam vets got treated so poorly coming home but I appreciate everything y'all did thanks again and welcome home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service sir!
Thank you for your service, I appreciate all veterans and people currently serving
First and mostly Thank you for your service. Second, the veterans deserve the absolute best of everything at no cost!! They have already paid the price! God Bless!!
That’s a great song, every time I hear it brings a tear to my eye, and pride to my heart!💥✨🇺🇸🇺🇸✨💥
Thank you for your service Billy ❤️🙏😇
This song still gives me chills. I remember when Toby first came out with this song, it lit a fire and pisses Dan Rather right off....lol
Thank u for you're service!! I completely 100% agree! My little bro is in the military and I just can't believe how our military is treated not only while they are serving but after is an embarrassment 😕 😔 we really need c to do soo much more!!!
I did see him Toby in Iraq when I was there was great to see someone from our country to see us overseas. Felt like home
I still have that same shirt and my son was Army and got me new ones! 😆 ❤️
I remember the first tjme I heard this song. I was so proud. WE NEED AN ANTHEM LIKE THAT NOW. 🎄🎁🎅 😝
When we were finishing up basic training, this song had just come out and our Drill Sergeant asked if anyone knew a song while we were cleaning weapons. I stood up and sang this. Had the whole company going off! It was a great moment!
Our military should be taken care of in every way especially when they come back from serving .
You are absolutely right. A veteran should pay for nothing. They risked there lives for us. What a shame.
Thank you sir for your service. I just started watching your reactions. Today. You got my subscription excelnt song.
I saw Toby live in September. When he sang this song he called all the veterans in the crowds onto the stage to sing with him. They even helped a man get up with his wheelchair.
Billy, Thank you for your honest reactions to songs honoring those of us that chose to put other peoples lives and freedoms ahead of our own and thank you for your service to this the greatest country in the world. (former) SSgt Charles Cochran, 1313th Engineers IARNG 1969-1981 (Yeah, Basic / AIT @ Ft Leonard Wood 1970)
Thank you for your service Billy ! Rip to ou fallen brothers and sisters!
I agree veterans shouldn't have to worry about anything they put there lives on the line for us. Thank you for your service sir.
Thank you Sir for your service. I absolutely agree with you 100% that we need to take 100% care of our vets!!!
Thank you for your working through whatever you did while working for our nation. Amen one nation of every colour and religious or nonreligious people.
I agree 100%, veterans should never foot the bill for medical/ dental/ mental health.
Thank you veterans for your service. Happy Memorial Day, remember those that never came home. ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Especially the mental health
Especially mental health
Toby is one of my favorite country artists and i love this song . My grandpa served in Korea and my cousin Christian is in the national guard . I'm so glad I found ur channel 😁
When my late husband returned from Vietnam he burned all his uniforms not because he didn’t love this country but he was so upset about the friends he lost. Two years later when he got called up for reserves we had to go out and buy all new uniforms. Thank you for your service and all those that serve and served
You don't buy uniforms they assign you new gear when you come up from reserves
Air Force vet here and I agree with you!!!
Thanks for the Veteran tribute. My husband is a Veteran of The Vietnam War, USAF. I enjoyed your reaction to this version , would you consider reacting to this same song titled "USAF Tribute"?
TOBY KEITH WROTE THIS SONG FOR HIS DADDY !
HONEY YOU HIT THE NAIL ON ITS HEAD !
FREE FOR ALL MEDICAL
actually he wrote this song as a way to vent his feelings after 9/11
his songs made in America and american soldier were wrote for/about his dad
Thank you for your service! Military service personnel should be first in line for medical/housing etc. FIRST! As Toby said " so we can sleep in peace when we lay down our head " Sincere heartfelt THANKS!
Happy memorial Day Billy thank you for your service to this country and thank you to eney other veteran watching and my condolences to all that have lost a fammy member or friend to war
william binns every time I hear someone say happy Memorial Day I take it as “I’m glad you didn’t die in combat”
Rest easy Toby Keith. Not a big country fan but grew up hearing his music and watching his videos, he really is a legend. 30 year career is something to be genuinely impressed with.
Thank you for your service. I just found your channel and I am enjoying your content.
Love this song
Billy I have so many vets in my family and I believe the government should cover all medical expenses and should pay back for any physical or mental damages endured though military services. Thank you from all of my heart all you beautiful men who have given your lives to protect the lives of the citizens of the United States of America!
Thank you for your service my dude! I salute your sacrifice! Your damn right you shouldn't have to pay for any medical and there's a lot more this country should do for you guys! My mom served she was one of first women to join in Oh and she fights for all benefits... Not cool man! God Bless you and thank you again my dude!!
Thank you for your service! My Grandfather proudly served in the Navy back in WWII. He loved his fellow Seabees and attended reunions every year until he passed away in '91. Miss you, Granddaddy! Thank you to all who serve! Shout outs, from Tennessee
We should 100% take care of our veterans. It sickens me that we, as a country, often fail them. They deserve our undying respect. Thank you for your service.
This song and Alan Jackson's "Where Were You" are perfect bookends for our feelings after 9/11.
Yes its bs how veterans get treated. My son has nothing as far as benefits from the military. Shame on the government for not taking better care of the veterans
Oh shit. This is today lmao. Ive been watching your vids all day 😂 happy memorial day brotha. Thank you for your service
It's awesome how respectful Toby Keith is when it comes to America and to those who served in it. God bless those who served for our country.
Thank you for your service. This makes me think of my father who served and my brother or somebody my brother was served
First of all, thank you for serving. Second, I agree that soldiers offer everything of themselves, up to & including their LIVES, and when they’re done serving they should be taken care of!
You should react to 8th of November by Big and Rich good song to react to today.
I saw Big and Rich in concert a few years ago and they played 8th of November and I teared up
Toby Keith performs over seas on bases all the time
Great song!! New cell so watching all the videos that I already watched lol Thanks Billy
Just found your channel, really enjoyed some of your videos man. Thank you for your service, Sir. God bless and keep up the good videos.

React to Have You Forgotten by Darryl Worley. From an old Army nut buster, thank you for your service.
Michael mabrey that’s a song that I heard on AM radio in Fresno CA before it was even released and bawled my eyes out and still do every time I hear it
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
To all those who have lost a family member in the service
