Toby was known for saying at the end of his concerts “Never be afraid to show your patriotism “; I’m a proud Veteran who served active duty in the USMC from 93-97
Thank you and your family for all of you who served and sacrificed. May God Bless and keep you always! Love & Light. Let us not forget the sacrifices of the families and loved ones of our Veterans. They deserved to be acknowledged for their service and sacrifice as well.
Our Veterans are heros. They are not grown men chasing a pigskin on a field. Each of them deserve the kind of pay that football players are making. Thank them all for their service and sacrifices as well as their families. Bless each and with all respect they each deserve. Love and Light to each and every one of them that served.
Thank you for your respect toward our servicemen and women. Give Toby's song, Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue song a listen. It will also give you chills and pride in our servicemen and women.
Never feel ashamed to be proud of your country's military. Never feel ashamed of not serving yourself; it's enough that vets have a place in your heart. It was an honor to serve for you.
@@larryshair Aussie combat vet l served in a rapid reaction regiment 24/7 standby 4hrs to be wheels up,multiple spin ups a few shots fired my way but l’m NO hero & l’ll NEVER say l am,just being silly enough to run towards the gunfire doesn’t make me anything special 🇦🇺🇺🇸
@@atlanticantiquesltd7372 Aussie combat vet Please don’t thank me l’m not worth anyone’s time or attention l’m nothing special just a broken veteran 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Your reaction grabbed my heart. I LOVE Toby Keith. His story telling is second to none. Do your self a favor and peek down this rabbit hole. You wont be disappointed. Start with The Angry American ( written as a tribute to Sept 11th and originally only to be performed for the troops over in Baghdad)... Then Follow up with a few SILLY songs.... How Do You Like Me Now... As Good As I Once Was.... Trailerhood..... and of course the ultimate party song Red Solo Cup (where he said, "this is the stupidest song that Ive ever heard. Lets do it" )
Toby Keith has many song you might like, and they all Won't make you cry, some will make you laugh!! He will be well missed!! Please, listen to his music!!😢❤😢❤
Navy vet here - it's been said well in these comments already, but i'll echo the others. Totally no shame in not serving; i was never a cop, fireman, or ER doc and there's no shame in that either. It is so very gratifying so see someone who didn't serve show so much appreciation; that means a ton to us. Would love to see you react to Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (the Angry American) also by Toby. I'm subscribing so that i don't miss it if you do. Thanks for this reaction - it really does mean a lot.
Ive been the boy at the fence and the soldier on the other side. Thank you for the support and gratitude. Thank you for being an American worth fighting for!
My daughter who is 26 is a Staff Sergeant in the Army. I can’t explain the pride I have in her. She joined when she was 18, I was heartbroken but I couldn’t be more proud of her. She’s amazing young lady. I just look at her in awe at the woman she has become.
Thank you so much for doing this reaction video. Toby has quite a few songs like this that always get me in the heart. Never be ashamed for not serving…you have served in a different way ☺️. Thank you to all of the men and women (and their families) for your sacrifice for this great country.
Toby was such a GREAT patriot! He was a treasure! Now, look at these young men & women coming up. They have been softened and dumbed down. This country is in BIG trouble in about 5-10 more years. We're already in trouble now! 🥺🇺🇸 This was a beautifully touching reaction! Much love 🙏🏼❣️
Don't worry about your tears. I have watched this many times and still have tears. I've been the wife and our boys on that side of the fence more often than I can count. My hubby was in our military for over 36 years and we've been together 48 years now, and to this day, I can't say bye when leaving or someone is leaving, as I've said it too often in the past with fear that he might not come home safe. RIP Toby. From Canada.
I loved Toby Keith !!! Took me I do not how months before I could watch a video of him with crying and with this one it still gets me too !! This is another banger, ( Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American) (Official Music Video)
Watching this four months later. I have seen this video a hundred times and I am crying with you. Always brings tears to my eyes. RIP to patriot Toby Keith
I get that way too when I hear this song and I've heard it a hundred times! My husband served 35 years. I've been the woman at the fence more than one time. Thank GOD he always returned home to me and now 47 years of marriage he's still beside me every night!!!
Thanks for not hiding your tears and if it makes you feel any better.....I cried too. I'm 72 and an Army veteran with a son who retired from the Army after 21 years of service. God bless our departed soldiers and their families.
My husband served 26 years in the military and died of cancer just a few months before he could get his retirement benefits. Fortunately, it was his goal to live long enough so I have his benefits for life. I miss him so much.
You do battle everyday. Your weapon is your channel, your music, your kind words and wisdom. You're in God's Army......the greatest and strongest of all. patti
This song is so beautiful, even more meaningful when your family member is one that didn't come home. I have a love/hate relationship with this song. I appreciate your commentsabout our military!.
Toby Keith and his official video, Courtesy of the Red White and Blue (The Angry American) is another great one. Toby was a great patriot and strong supporter of our military. Rest easy Toby.
Wow, I was so touched by your reaction I watched this several times. I come from a family of Vets. I joined the Navy at 17, was a Navy Corpsman, my brother was career Navy (desert storm/desert shield), my father career Army (WWII) and many uncles in the service. I currently have 2 grandsons serving, 1 Army and 1 Air Force. Thank you for showing your tears it really touched my heart. Thank you for talking about the families who hold everything together while their loved one is away serving our country, they are hero's too. I am grateful I got to see this.
I used to scoff at Country music and then I was transferred to Oklahoma City and was 'full on' emersed in it. (This was about the time when country music became a lot cooler.) I grew to love it once I realized it was less about a "dancing beat" and more about someone telling you a story. It could be humorous, melancholy, inspirational, or emotional, but it felt like you were glimpsing at a true piece of their life, one to which I could often relate. I've since moved back east and have taken a lot of ribbing over my love for the genre. But I used to tell folks that it's one of the few types of music that I could play in the car when driving my niece and nephews, where I didn't have to worry about what type of 'age inappropriate' words or scenarios were going to pop out of some singers mouth. (And, I can understand all the words, too... LOL!)
Don't be ashamed for not serving, there is no shame in that. Not everyone is called to served, you were called to do other things and things I'm sure you are proud of today! Those that do not serve, can serve by supporting those that do and being there for them when they get back. I had a sticker on the back of my truck that said "If you do not want to stand behind our troops, then please....feel free to stand in front of them" WE can do our part by supporting them, and thanking them. My Brother served in the Army and he said the best payment, was just hearing a thank you from someone, not that he expected it, but was nice to hear.
Such a beautiful reaction. It is a very emotional song. It's okay that you didn't serve. Just honoring our flag and loving our country is very important. And prayers. Courtesy of the Red White and Blue is a fantastic song also.
Don’t be ashamed of country music. A great song is a great song no matter what genre it is. There is country that is amazing. The stories , and talent is great. Dolly, Kenny Rodgers, Garth brooks , Reba macentire , Tobey Keith, randy Travis, there are great great songs and stories. Many samples for rand b and pop music come from great country music songs. Also I grew up in va beach. A military town and my dad was on a submarine and would be gone for 6 months at a time. And every time he would come home from a big tour like that it was such a great day. But my mom was a single mom every time he deployed so the strength of a soldier and his family and all the sacrifices and things they give up for their country is amazing to me.
I feel you. Im 66 yr old female, and I too feel like I let my country down and myself. I shoukd have joined, it was right after Viet Nam. Wasnt thing to do. I regret that. My husband served 4 yrs USArmy. I am so proud of him.
Courtesy of the Red White and Blue is a must. Toby Keith was a true patriot. He’s done more shows for the troops overseas than anyone I believe. I know he went over 11 times. His father was veteran and he wanted to serve but couldn’t due to an injury. Courtesy of the Red White and Blue was inspired by the 911 attacks and Toby’s father passing away. When Toby died a lot of military bases flew their flags at half staff because he meant so much to our service men and women. I highly recommend you check out this song as well!! It has a more uplifting vibe to it. It rallied our nation together in a very dark time.
Toby was a great performer cared for our troops so much, Let's remember and honor Toby Keith, who received the Spirit of the USO Award for his passionate support of our military. Toby performed for our deployed men and women serving overseas on 18 USO tours performing for over 250,000 service members. also you should hear his song "red white and blue" he wrote after the 911 attacks. thanks for what you do Larry
It was almost like watching myself as I used to be that kid standing at the fence crying, not understanding that my dad wasn't choosing that day to leave, the military chose it for them. As an adult with sons who have served and a grandson presently serving, my words can never say thank you loud enough or PROUD enough for all who do choose the path of the military and service to this GREAT nation to feel. I am only sorry that I never got to tell my dad. There is no such thing as a HAPPY Memorial Day, just a thank you Memorial Day to America 🇺🇸 ❤and Americans who sacrifice for us. 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 🇺🇸 ❤
This is a very powerful song! Toby Keith’s father served & he grew up with a heartfelt appreciation for those that serve. Sadly that is a value that has been lost over time & is not a concept that our younger generations understand. Thank you for this reaction
I feel you brother, my biggest regret in life was not joing the military. I was in high school during 9/11 and watched alot of my classmates enlist. I feel like I owe it to my country to serve, but like you said i was young and stupid.
I understand the feelings that you had, after 9-11 i tried all 4 branches. But because of my history none would accept me. Still a Patriot, bring the fight here and i will do whatever is needed
Awesome reaction, don't ever apologize for get emotional when it comes yo our military! You shoukd do a reaction to Toby's song The Angry American, its awesome.
RIP my favorite cowboy💜 Please check out his catalog of tunes! Official videos r the best! He’s got a fantastic sense of humor! This one in particular makes everyone feel something and I love that. Thank God for our military!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Other great story songs r Reba Makentire “Fancy” and Hardy “Wait In The Truck.” There’s tons out there!

There’s no shame in recognizing that the military path may not have been right for you, but loving and respecting those who were born to serve that way is how we honor those who do what many can not. I never served directly, but as a daughter of the military who got to travel and live at many of the bases, I love and respect everything my family did for me and our country through the generations. But I knew the life was not for me. Also, you talked about the families…you should check out Come Home Soon by SheDaisy. It’s beautiful.
@larryshair I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this reaction since you seemed to dislike country so much. But, I enjoyed it because you gave it a chance and realized you liked it. You know country is really good (it just depends on if you’re listening to the right artist). Toby is a Legend. He passed away in February 2024 after battling stomach cancer. He has some serious & some hilarious songs. “Good as I Once Was” is hilarious. He’s missed deeply. Chris Stapleton is another one you should react to. He labeled country but he’s soul,R&B, and Outlaw Country all in one amazing voice. Like Toby, Chris writes his own songs. “2021 CMA Awards “Cold” performance is amazing. He won Grammys,CMA’s,etc., for it.
I hear what he is saying, how many Christmases i missed with my family, and grandparents i cant get back, as a nurse. Im Canadian but it doesnt matter where we r from life has a path for us. U r here for a reason Larryshair. xoxo
This is an iconic song like Lee Greenwoods tribute to America that will last us all a lifetime. True patriotism. Makes America stand up and notice. I’m right there with you Chris… not a country music fan. Especially whiney, twangy women of country. Fingernails on chalkboard to me. Has to suck it up for the opening act last July for Jesse’s concert.
Beautiful reaction! I know you say country isn't your thing, but another suggestion for Memorial Day is Arlington by Trace Adkins. As well as his other song, Til' The Last Shots Fired. Both songs bring out many emotions as it should when mentioning a topic such as this. To those men and women who laid their life down on the line for our freedom, may they rest in eternal peace🙏💝
Don't regret not serving. We can't go back & relive our lives. However, we can do something positive for our community, which is a service to your country, as well. Be a good citizen & a kind neighbor. Look at Toby. He did not serve technically however, this song & his song that he wrote after 9/11 area gift to all Americans. You must find the official video for 'Courtesy of the red, white & blue, the angry American'. You will see how he served his country. You will love it, I promise. And for the record, Toby also has some of the most hilarious songs/videos you have ever seen. Example, 'As good as I once was'. Definitely need the video always with Toby.
Ok... DAD... Please don't beat yourself for as you said... immature decision. You maybe didn't serve to your country back then but you're serving the whole world now through your channel. I said it once already... it's not a "reaction channel"... you're giving people all over the world hope and support they need. Your wisdom and story-times about your past saved MANY people. You literally saved a life of a messed up dude from the other side of the globe without even carrying a rifle. I'll never stop thanking you for that. You're my HERO and I'm sure I'm not the only one here in this community who's still breathing thanks to you. I know couple guys who went to Polish army lately but I assure you... none of them is even half as brave as you are. Thank you for your service DAD! 🫡❤️
And I'm sorry for calling you "Dad" in public again... but I want everyone to know how important you are to me. I wouldn't be here without your support. I LOVE YOU so freaking much! Thank you! ❤️🤗
@@that_averagetyp I’m feeling really sad at the moment, tbh. It’s been a rough week with my parents, (stuff I’m not comfortable putting here for everyone to see) and I’m so tired. BUT tomorrow is a new day!!!🎉 I’m actually debating going to the drs cos I can’t seem to stop crying atm and I’m driving myself bonkers😖 I’ll think about it anyway. More importantly How’re YOU doing? Are you happy to be out of the rehabilitation place? 😊🤗
You are missing out on a lot of GREAT country music my friend. Give it a chance. You can’t go wrong with Toby Keith, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley…. Damn the list goes on.
Hi Cutie War is so dumb. This is 2024. We just had a global pandemi killing millions. We should be able to disagree without starting a war. We should respekt eacvother more. I hate wars. But I love your reaction 😊 I love how country makes people feel. This was a good one. Stay safe my friend 🩵
I would really want to watch you react to some Juice WRLD. I got some of my favorite pics that i can recommend you. Wishing Well, Fighting Demons, Rightous and Face 2 Face
lol, yea, technical difficulties. I noticed tow of my recording devices were both recording out of phase. I can't start it over or it wouldn't be a reaction, so oh well lol!
With your reaction and your response to some of the comments It seems like you do like country but are depriving yourself because of the emotional reactions.Good country is storytelling of lifes events Its known as being 3 chords and the truth.Allowing yourself to partake in the emotions that a song invokes is a tribute to the artist and songwriter too
@@larryshair step into the light.If you did a separate series, additional playlist,and put the work in I bet you'd have your 100k plaque before you know it
Don't be ashamed or embarrassed for being emotional over this song, it's just a natural reaction!!❤❤
I lost my husband in Iraq on his 3rd tour he was a boots to the ground never quit marine , he told our son before each deployment im counting on you my man I’ll fight over there and you fight over here . Our son is a marine now . Rest in peace my marine your son has got this now .. semper fi ❤
I'm so very sorry. You broke me on this comment. I can't imagine the road you have had to be on. Blessings to you and your son my friend. Semper Fi

Don't apologize. As a Navy wife I appreciate seeing people show so much gratitude for what our loved ones did.
I cry every time I see this video!! Love Toby Keith Rest in peace Toby 😢

My 2 sons served, husband, father, grandfather, multiple uncles, aunts and cousins. And a bunch of in laws served. I am one proud American.
Thank you for your family’s service. God bless you all

Don't ever feel shame, we fought so you and others can enjoy a normal life without having to sweat that non-sense.
I remember the phone ringing for Dad to be sent somewhere. It brought terror to my heart as a young child.
If you want to feel good, throw on some Old time rock and roll. If you want to get kicked right in the feels, listen to a true patriot country singer.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions with us. I’m proud to say my mother wore army boots during WWII.
Love that and thank you!
Don't be ashamed it's not for everyone
Dear friend.....you serve us every single day. Love you so much❤
💯% true! 😊
Very well said Patti🥰 I hope you are ok sending love to you x
Thanks so much Patti. It just feels different it all.
This is a very powerful song! Toby Keith’s father served & he grew up with a heartfelt appreciation for those that serve. Sadly that is a value that has been lost over time & is not a concept that our younger generations understand. Thank you for this reaction
When I was deployed the hardest thing to do was kiss my family goodbye and listen to my neice bawling and begging me not to leave her.
She was my little angel.
I absolutely love you. Thank you so much for making that sacrifice. Blessings brother.
I feel you brother, my biggest regret in life was not joing the military. I was in high school during 9/11 and watched alot of my classmates enlist. I feel like I owe it to my country to serve, but like you said i was young and stupid.
I understand the feelings that you had, after 9-11 i tried all 4 branches. But because of my history none would accept me. Still a Patriot, bring the fight here and i will do whatever is needed
Thankyou for such a beautiful reaction❤️
Wonderful, authentic reaction! ❤
Thanks so much Amanda!
Exactly turn clock back and im.with you. As a female I was thinking AF-medical. If WWIII happens they may need us old folks
Best reaction to this song I've seen
Thanks so much for your kindness!
Awesome reaction, don't ever apologize for get emotional when it comes yo our military! You shoukd do a reaction to Toby's song The Angry American, its awesome.
RIP my favorite cowboy💜 Please check out his catalog of tunes! Official videos r the best! He’s got a fantastic sense of humor! This one in particular makes everyone feel something and I love that. Thank God for our military!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Other great story songs r Reba Makentire “Fancy” and Hardy “Wait In The Truck.” There’s tons out there!
I don't even know what to say. God Bless those who have served and rest in peace Toby Keith.
Don’t be ashamed of country music. A great song is a great song no matter what genre it is. There is country that is amazing. The stories , and talent is great. Dolly, Kenny Rodgers, Garth brooks , Reba macentire , Tobey Keith, randy Travis, there are great great songs and stories. Many samples for rand b and pop music come from great country music songs.
There’s no shame in recognizing that the military path may not have been right for you, but loving and respecting those who were born to serve that way is how we honor those who do what many can not. I never served directly, but as a daughter of the military who got to travel and live at many of the bases, I love and respect everything my family did for me and our country through the generations. But I knew the life was not for me.
Also, you talked about the families…you should check out Come Home Soon by SheDaisy. It’s beautiful.
@larryshair I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this reaction since you seemed to dislike country so much. But, I enjoyed it because you gave it a chance and realized you liked it. You know country is really good (it just depends on if you’re listening to the right artist). Toby is a Legend. He passed away in February 2024 after battling stomach cancer. He has some serious & some hilarious songs. “Good as I Once Was” is hilarious. He’s missed deeply. Chris Stapleton is another one you should react to. He labeled country but he’s soul,R&B, and Outlaw Country all in one amazing voice. Like Toby, Chris writes his own songs. “2021 CMA Awards “Cold” performance is amazing. He won Grammys,CMA’s,etc., for it.
Thanks so much for this!
I hear what he is saying, how many Christmases i missed with my family, and grandparents i cant get back, as a nurse. Im Canadian but it doesnt matter where we r from life has a path for us. U r here for a reason Larryshair. xoxo
Thanks so much!
This is an iconic song like Lee Greenwoods tribute to America that will last us all a lifetime. True patriotism. Makes America stand up and notice.
I’m right there with you Chris… not a country music fan. Especially whiney, twangy women of country. Fingernails on chalkboard to me. Has to suck it up for the opening act last July for Jesse’s concert.
Courtesy of the Red White and Blue is a must also should listen to Tim McGraw If You're Reading This. Makes me cry every time
I suggest ---- Trace Adkins, "Till the Last Shot's Fired" - or - Tim McGraw's, "If You're Reading This" OO-Rah & Semper Fi!
Need to go back to Sydney Christmas :-) my way :-)
You should also check out Toby’s courtesy of the red white and blue
Beautiful reaction! I know you say country isn't your thing, but another suggestion for Memorial Day is Arlington by Trace Adkins. As well as his other song, Til' The Last Shots Fired. Both songs bring out many emotions as it should when mentioning a topic such as this. To those men and women who laid their life down on the line for our freedom, may they rest in eternal peace🙏💝
Don't regret not serving. We can't go back & relive our lives. However, we can do something positive for our community, which is a service to your country, as well. Be a good citizen & a kind neighbor. Look at Toby. He did not serve technically however, this song & his song that he wrote after 9/11 area gift to all Americans. You must find the official video for 'Courtesy of the red, white & blue, the angry American'. You will see how he served his country. You will love it, I promise. And for the record, Toby also has some of the most hilarious songs/videos you have ever seen. Example, 'As good as I once was'. Definitely need the video always with Toby.
Thank you Cathy!

I really hope you react to "En livstid i krig", the live version. Probably the only song makes me tear up everytine
There's no shame in not serving, just be sure to respect those who have (which you obviously do).
You should do there goes my life by Kenny chesney!
A good song if you want to feel emotions is -" how do i say goodbye"
Listen to The Angry American Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!!!
If you're reading this by tim mcgraw is a good song as well. Citizen soldier by 3 doors down is not country, but i think it's a powerful song.
Ok... DAD...
Please don't beat yourself for as you said... immature decision. You maybe didn't serve to your country back then but you're serving the whole world now through your channel. I said it once already... it's not a "reaction channel"... you're giving people all over the world hope and support they need. Your wisdom and story-times about your past saved MANY people. You literally saved a life of a messed up dude from the other side of the globe without even carrying a rifle. I'll never stop thanking you for that. You're my HERO and I'm sure I'm not the only one here in this community who's still breathing thanks to you.
I know couple guys who went to Polish army lately but I assure you... none of them is even half as brave as you are. Thank you for your service DAD! 🫡❤️
And I'm sorry for calling you "Dad" in public again... but I want everyone to know how important you are to me. I wouldn't be here without your support. I LOVE YOU so freaking much! Thank you! ❤️🤗

@@Sandy_justme how are you doing my friend? 🤗🤗
@@that_averagetyp I’m feeling really sad at the moment, tbh. It’s been a rough week with my parents, (stuff I’m not comfortable putting here for everyone to see) and I’m so tired. BUT tomorrow is a new day!!!🎉
I’m actually debating going to the drs cos I can’t seem to stop crying atm and I’m driving myself bonkers😖 I’ll think about it anyway.
More importantly How’re YOU doing? Are you happy to be out of the rehabilitation place? 😊🤗
@@Sandy_justmeprayers.....❤❤❤
You are missing out on a lot of GREAT country music my friend. Give it a chance. You can’t go wrong with Toby Keith, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley…. Damn the list goes on.
You should react to 8 mile song its straight fire 🔥 and he basically describes the 8 mile movie +really underrated song
Time for another reaction: Sydnie Christmas blows Judges away singing 'My Way' | Semi-Finals | BGT 2024
Suggestion for you
Elastic Heart by Sia
I'd love to see your insights about this
I was a military wife for 21 years
Thanks so much for his service!
Hi Cutie
War is so dumb. This is 2024. We just had a global pandemi killing millions. We should be able to disagree without starting a war. We should respekt eacvother more. I hate wars.
But I love your reaction 😊
I love how country makes people feel. This was a good one.
Stay safe my friend 🩵
👋🤗
❤️
Serving isn’t for everyone you do your part by supporting us that do or did serve
Chris, Em dropped the new song/video...."Houdini". Get on it. Sooooo funny.
I would really want to watch you react to some Juice WRLD. I got some of my favorite pics that i can recommend you. Wishing Well, Fighting Demons, Rightous and Face 2 Face

Hey bud! 👋
Am I tripping or your mic broke? 🤔 You sound like a freaking RoboCop 🤭
Yes he did sound like a robot in this one 😊
Ohh, just saw the description... nevermind the RoboCop effects, lol
lol, yea, technical difficulties. I noticed tow of my recording devices were both recording out of phase. I can't start it over or it wouldn't be a reaction, so oh well lol!
With your reaction and your response to some of the comments It seems like you do like country but are depriving yourself because of the emotional reactions.Good country is storytelling of lifes events Its known as being 3 chords and the truth.Allowing yourself to partake in the emotions that a song invokes is a tribute to the artist and songwriter too
I'm a closet CMA fan lol
@@larryshair step into the light.If you did a separate series, additional playlist,and put the work in I bet you'd have your 100k plaque before you know it
Very fishy 🤔
