im only 15 and my brother left to join training for this, and i missed him so much, i always thought i hated him because we fought so much, but when he left it was like i was the one dead! i was depressed for days.
My son is a soldier and so is his wife. Is so hard to watch your loved ones go off to war and to worry for their safety day and night. Thank God for all who answer the call and do their duty so that we can be free.
My son was deployed to Iraq and Toby "hung out" with my son and other Marines while he there. My son is not a country music fan, but he appreciated Toby coming by and spending time.
FOR THOSE THAT SERVED IN THE PAST, THOSE THAT ARE SERVING IN THE PRESENT AND THOSE THAT WILL SERVE IN THE FUTURE.........THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. TOBY KEITH, THANK YOU FOR TOUCHING THE HEARTS OF SO MANY. YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST AND GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i say this all the time i want to thank every one that has served or is serving now and for all you leftys that dont like the war get over it and iam 13 and i know about this stuff
I can't wait for my American Soldier to be home soon! I love him and miss him and I am so proud to be his wife. Thank you all for your support! It means a lot to us!
All I want to say is thank you to all those soldiers who are in the army, marines, navy, and to their families. Thank you for making it a better place for me and my child, from the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best and God Bless!!!!
i give huge amounts of respect to all of our soldieers fighting for us but one thing that i noticed no one respects our police officers who are really just fighting for peace in our homeland and trying to make it safe for us while we are here.
I am a poilce officer for the Chicago P.D and people just hate my fellow officers and me. I find it sad that without police officers, this country would be a disaster. It would be hell on earth without us. I want to thank you for respecting us and realizing our importance in society.
@bearsfan213 Hey police officers are just as important as any soldier serving in the military.... just remember that when u hear people say Shit about u guys.. dont listen to them, they dont know the sacrifice and the hard work it is to be a police officer...
@mrmandude1 Thank you for realizing that. A lot of people say we are cold-hearted and intentionally try to ruin people's lives by placing them under arrest. That is completely not true at all. What we try to do is make the citizens' lives better by arresting the people who deserve to be arrested (drug dealers, burglars, gang members that commit crimes, etc). We don't place people under arrest because we want to. They got themselves in the handcuffs.
This is an amazing song. I leave for Parris Island in 4 months to become a Marine myself. SEMPER FI!! I know my grandfather used to get pissed when people asked him if he was still a Marine. WE ARE MARINES!! God Bless America and our troops.
Country covers patriotism best. On Memorial Day-Toby Keith's American Soldier. So thankful for all the brave men and women who have stood and fallen for the freddoms of our country as well of those of others. Thank you!
hello everyone im a us marine currently deployed on my 3rd tour in iraq and its songs like this that make me proud of what me and all the others do on a everyday basis i cry eveytime i see this video or hear this song thank you to all that supports us and doing what we do!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE TROOPS OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY!!!!!! DADDY LOVES YOU BRITTNEY AND ILL SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope you have a safe rest of your tour bro, thx for doing what you do....i was in the army but i never went to combat.....i got out in 2000...the 82nd screwed my back up, so that wheni got out...i wouldnt have made it trhrough meps again...not an excuse its the truth...anyway, i have alot of love & respect for all the active military....anyway, again..hope you make it home safe
Every now and then a veteran gets to see or hear something that reminds us of the people we do (or did) the job for. Like the song says, it's not for the money or the glory. I have a special love for every servicemember past and present, and my heart and thanks go out to their families. I am old army. Thank God for celebrities like Toby Keith coming forward to replace the stench of Jane Fonda. To those who would disagree, you have that right, because of a veteran.
this is a great song! and i wish the best of luck to all of the men and women who are fighting for our freedom. espically you bill will!!!!!!!!!! lol ;) we miss you!
hey bro. if you do decide to join the marines, God bless you and thank you. Im a Navy Veteran. i was in operation Iraqi Freedom and Iraqi Enduring Freedom. Freedom dont come free. Always remember that once a Marine, Always a Marine. Hoo Rah!!!!!
this song makes me cry because some of my cousins are in war and some of them have died GOD BLESS USA AND ALL THE SOLDIERS OUT THERE SERVING ARE COUNTRY
@irukasensie I thank you and your family for your sacrifice and for their service. I am the mother of a soldier who has served two tours of duty in Iraq. I know the sacrifice and heartache of sending your loved one off to war. God bless you.
I dont personally like the war but I have so much respect for the men and women who are out there, it cant be easy. Toby Keith is also another amazing guy, his music is always full of feeling.
something that many people don't understand about Toby Keith is that he doensn't and never has supported the Iraq war. Just because he's so patriotic doesn't make him pro war. Whats wrong with supporting the troops that are fighting for us? Nothing, and that is what he is doing.
Its men like Toby Keith that make me feel the extreme pride I feel being an american, and to serve in the military knowing people like him truley apreciate what we do.
ONE OF THE GREATEST expressions of patriotism & the call to duty... A beautifully, moving tribute to all who serve our country! GOD BLESS AMERICA & GOD BLESS TOBY KEITH!
Thanks to all our soldiers for the sacrifices that they make. We are 100% behind you regardless of what you hear. Toby Keith is the true spirit of what it means to be an American. this song makes me cry every time i hear it. Thanks for posting this!
This song wasn't written about 9-11...It was to written to make civilians aware of what our soldiers have to do everyday...whether they are deployed or not...
This guy deserves a music video, the best music video ever. Like... Thousands of patriotic fans, all in ranks, with cute little uniforms. And flags! Nice, big flags, with eagles. Wouldn't that be cool!
he's got an awesome vid to this song...it's not extravagant and over the top, because that's not what our soldiers want. They just want to do their jobs. It's a simple, moving vid to go with a simple, moving song.
thank you to every single soldier that may read this. I truly mean it from my heart. You are all my heroes, and theres none better to have. Thank you guys and girls so damn much.
I haven't heard this song for sooo long, a few years... I lost the CD I had burned it on when I was a little younger and I haven't listened to it since. It's so good to hear it again!!
To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord...Guard the gates of heaven, Rest in Peace brothers you have fought a good fight, Infantry, Queen of the Battle....R.I.P Cpl. Johnson, Thanks for my life
"I think Toby is right under the cut-off age for joining the armed forces. I think he should get over there and show his support by fighting next to the soldiers on the front line. I'll help him pack."
Because us soilders don't need entertainment and people to preform for us.
my wife and I cry when we hear this song at a concert. Our son is in Iraq, proudly serving our country. I fly a flag for him 24/7 till his safe return.
We did the same for our son. That Marine Corps flag got a little raggedy but there was no way we would take it down til his boots were back on American soil. Prayers up for your son and all our Warriors.
I think Toby is right under the cut-off age for joining the armed forces. I think he should get over there and show his support by fighting next to the soldiers on the front line. I'll help him pack.
If you can't say something nice, you shouldn't say anything at all. You do NOT know Toby! He is the one entertainer who has been and continues to support our troops here & overseas...he travels to Iraq, etc. on his own money (others do not). He has awards from the military and recognizes military personnel at all concerts. (By the way, he turned 45 in July!) If you don't like something, change the channel!
you are the most despicable person i have ever seen comment on here. You'll help him pack will you?!!? You pathetic, disgusting creature! You have no right to say ANYTHING like that! next time keep comments like that to yourself!
@danboiseboy you have a problem with all the support he gives the troops. sure toby should go, but i hope your standing infront of him whens hes shot at
im only 15 and my brother left to join training for this, and i missed him so much, i always thought i hated him because we fought so much, but when he left it was like i was the one dead! i was depressed for days.
