      I’ve been re-watching reactions to Toby’s songs for the last couple of hours and I’m crying too. This one, and Cryin’ for Me, and Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue, always get me bawling my eyes out. I’m getting ready to listen to Don’t Let the Old Man In for the first time so I’m keeping my tissues near by. I’m a new subscriber… I appreciated your sincere heartfelt reaction 💕

    As an old divorced fourth generation disabled vet with TBI and PTSD, was homeless about 3 years, existing under a VA program for homeless vets where i spend most of the time alone fighting the battle within. I'm not saying this for pity or anything in that nature. I remember what my dad ( a WW2 wounded vet ) told me before I went in. He said, no matter what happens when you are in, you will need to accept the outcome of those actions as your steps and your outcome. Don't expect the government to be there for you. Look at the no help your two brothers got ( nam vets ). You do this not for the government, president or party. You volunteer "give" all you have for the time you serve for the constitution and the people. You don't put strings on gifts, so don't look for others to bear the responsibility of your actions. He was right. It was my choice, my steps , my actions and my outcome. It is what it is. Salute to my brother and sister veterans. May you be finding peace with the battle within.

    I am the 3rd generation of 4 who served. My Grandfather lost his lung to mustard gas in WWI. My dallld worked on Mustangs and PBYs during WWII. I was lucky, I served during the Cold War and never saw combat in the USAF. When I got out I worked for Navy Intel for 25ish years. My most impressed action I saw was my oldest joining the army after hearing all mine and my Dad's service stories. So he was the 4th generation.

    My paternal grandfather lied about his age to enlist early for WW1. He made it through the war, but had been badly gassed at the Somme and did not live to see any of his grandkids. His example led me to to her majesties naval reserve (which was sadly cut short by getting RIFed) and to this day, I do not feel properly dressed on November 11th without a red poppy in my lapel.
    It is very clear you honor your grandfather as much as I honor mine.

As long as someone can say their name, they never die. It takes time, but it will come when the stories and antics bring laughs and chuckles instead of tears. I'm giving you a big bear hug and hope your tears of joy start taking over.

    This song speaks to me so much. My father served 22 years in the Navy. Growing up I saw not only the sacrifices he made but that the rest of my family made. The missed holidays, birthdays, and other family events. He was still in when I myself joined the Army Reserves. The ship he was stationed on was doing overhauls when I got the call up to be deployed as part of Desert Shield in November 1990. I wasn't able to see him before I shipped off for Saudi Arabia. I left in the morning and his ship returned home that afternoon. It wasn't until my unit returned home in May 1991 that I was finally able to see him. Sadly my father passed away in 2009. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of him.

    I really enjoyed your reactions to your Toby Keith video, an American Soldier. I served in the Us Army as a Chaplain. I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, but the rank was secondary to the ministry I was privileged to provide for our women and men in uniform. It was never easy being deployed and missing my wife, son and daughter. This video captures those emotions very well. God bless you for the deep appreciation you show. I see the messages on your screen and how you proudly share your family connection to those who serve. I know your Pap is proud of you. Blessings.

I served in Vietnam in 1967-68 with B company 2nd of the fifth, First Air Cavalry Division air mobile. I was an infantry soldier that saw way too much action. Our Company was ambushed and we lost half of our men near Dong Ha just South of the DMZ. It was on May 12th 1968, which was unfortunately Mother’s Day. What a horrible day to lose so many soldiers. So sad for the mothers of these Honorable Soldiers. Rest in Peace my Brothers!

    Thank you for your grandfathers service ❤
    My great-grandfather and his brother both served military duty during WW2
    My great-grandfather was a fighter pilot in different air raid squadrons in the RAF both as a pilot and an engine mechanic.
    His brother/my great-granduncle was a ship captain in the Cunard liners and was drafted in to transport injured, dead and new soldiers back home and out to the frontlines.
    His ship was torpedoed on the 7th trip to the front lines but luckily he managed to get everyone and himself off the ship before it went down.
    After the war my great-grandfather and his brother were highly disdinguised/decorated by king george/the father of The late Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
    I never knew my great-grandfather or his brother because they both passed away some years before i was born
    My grandmother when she was alive (god rest her soul🕯❤🕊) told me many heroic storys about them and to me they will always be my heroes and rolemodels.
    Even thou i never knew or met them i still feel tears of love for them😢❤

    Thank you so much for reacting to this as we suggested It wasn't that I or we wanted to see you cry again, but I knew it would hit you harder than Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue because it's more personal on a family level. I was deployed 8 months before this song was released in November of 2003 and when my 10 year old son ran up and held on to me while i was standing in Formation about to Fall Out to board the bus. I almost lost it. The shots of the soldier looking back at his family. I have a picture my dad took of me doing the same thing right before getting on the bus. It could have been the last glance we ever had of eachother, but thank God i made it home. I had an old skeleton key that I found somethere a few months before leaving, that I just got the idea of giving it to my son the night before i left and i had a talk alone with him and, I told him to keep that old key and, each day hold it in his prayer hands and say a little prayer that Daddy will come home safe and I told him that I will. It was the most emotional feeling I ever had with him as we both welled up at the same time and just hugged eachother, both crying. He promised that he will. and I told him to believe it when he prays and God will take care of me and I will be back. After I came home 14 months later. I ask him the next day if he still had the key, and did he say his prayers for me. He said, "I did Daddy, but I lost the key but still said the prayers, but forgot to some nights because I fell asleep before I got to.". I told him well what praying he did worked because I came home like I promised. My dad went to war in his early twenties in Korea 11 years before I was born. So, I didn't get to see him leave for war. My son did get to see his dad leave because I was in my early forties at the time but had already served 23 years in service during two earlier war time operations.

    I miss my Grandfather too liberty belle. My Grandfather served in the navy and Cuban Missile Crisis and the Cold War and he was an E3 Sargent on different destroyers manning the big guns. Also he was a Coal miner too.

    It's a tough life but one of true American PRIDE (not talking "rainbows" here.). My husband joined the US Navy 2 years after we were married. It's a tough life--moving every 3-4 years, 6-7 month deployments plus 2 week--a month "workups" in between. My husband didn't see his first born (son) until he was almost 5 months old. I was alone, 3,000 miles away from family when he was born. Back then we had to depend on the mail to hear from them--no phone calls, no "Skyping". He learned of the birth of our first child by telegram. Spent many, many hours at the dock watching until his ship was out of sight, or his plane not even a dot anymore if his ship was in Norfolk. And yes, bills we couldn't pay. He retired after 20 years, and unfortunately he passed away suddenly 2 years ago (he was only 69 and healthy). But he was a PROUD Sailor, and I was proud to be his wife. Bless you for your reaction. If you haven't lived it you don't understand....

    Best reaction ever. I was I guy that went places I never went to do things I never did, because you are worth it.
    Tobi was a great patriot, went out of his way for the troop and vets. A real class act.
    God bless you. Peace.

    Such a beautifully done song with the taps at the end! Man I am not doing good with his death. He was such a good guy and loved his family, God and country. So many great songs. RIP Toby and God bless your family

    R.I.P. Toby Keith Covel, i've been a fan since before I started school. I grew up listening to and loving your music and I still can't believe you're gone. R.I.P. to all the brave men and women that laid down their lives (voluntarily or not) for my freedom and the freedom of every American.

    2nd Toby Keith reaction of yours I've watched (& commented on) today. U must hv bn really close to your Grand Dad. I was close w/my Grandfather also. He didn't serve in WW2. He had a draft deferment cuz he made the Lenses for the Norton Bomb sights that went in the B17s (& maybe some other Bombers). He didn't hv a HS diploma but became an adjunct professor at a local college teaching people how to fabricate the lenses. Everyone had a job to do. What matters is we're both lucky enough to hv had awesome grandfathers. :)
