      Tilly, as an American I can tell you that we have no more stalwart allies then the Brits and your cousins the Scots, the Irish, the Canadians, and the Aussies. We see you as family across the pond, and your struggles our are struggles. Your joys are our joys as family. If anyone even so much as lays a hand on your beautiful country and people it will be our honor to defend you and to put our hands to the plow to lay them low.

    Fun Fact: Toby Kieth was originally not going to record the song and just sing it at live events for military personnel. However, the troops liked it so much that the highest ranking officer of the Marines told him he should record the song, even that it was his duty as an American citizen to do so. He told him if Kieth wanted to contribute to the War in Afghanistan (remember this wasn't long after 9/11), recording this song was how he could do it.
    Just kind of adds another layer to the song, really.

I was in the Marines during that time, Unafraid and ready, because "they" didn't matter who just f#cked up. Let us show you who you just picked a fight with. That's how we felt. But after 20 years of weakness and my own government and culture beating down patriotism, masculinity, self pride, and pushing this division and woke narrative.... and seeing with my own eyes our strong powerful military caving to it. I am almost lost for words. The flag does fly at my home. Right above our front door shortly before the welcome mat. Just beyond that you will find Patriots who grew up in the real America.

    Toby wrote what all of us Americans were feeling after 9/11. In a way, it kinda became a new anthem for many of us. My daughter & I saw him several times, & every time he'd do this song, the roof would nearly get blown off by the fans cheering, screaming, & clapping. It would get wild! A few yrs ago, Toby let everyone know that he was battling stomach Cancer. He was getting many treatments for it & it looked like he was gonna beat it. Sadly, he passed away Monday February 5, 2024 at the age of 62. If you see a more recent video of him singing this song, he's not singing it with the energy that he normally would bc of the Cancer. Also, if you haven't already done so, you should really watch the official video bc it shows him performing this song for the troops & his interactions with them, & their reactions to the song. It's really touching.

    My husband is a retired Green Beret who spent the last 5 years of his 26 year career as a Special Forces Battalion Medic in Iraq. Toby Keith was, and still is, a mainstay on his playlist. We had the pleasure of meeting him at a concert and he was such a great guy! He really loves our military. My dad was Air Force in Korea. My mother-in-law joined the Army when women didn’t really do that (lol..she’s a badass!) and my father-in-law was career Army. I couldn’t serve due to blindness in one eye, but I love me some military!! Thanks for spreading such positive energy for the USA.

    I’ve heard the song a million times but I’ve never seen this video, wow it gives me chills!! It’s crazy to me that there’s a whole generation that wasn’t even alive when 9/11 happened, just like there are generations that weren’t live during the holocaust. Our son has never known a world in which we weren’t at war post 9/11. I was just 13 miles from the Air Force base it was rumored the President was being flown to, my mom called me and wanted me to make the 2 hour drive home just in case the base was a target. I was in college and had just moved a couple weeks prior.

    That plane is called an 'angel flight', bringing home our fallen. They do that angel out of respect. It's really a beautiful sight to see. If you haven't seen his video with 'American Soldier', you have to watch that one. It always gives me chills and when the little boy salutes his father going on the plane, off to war, that is really touching. It's very well done.

And I remember at school every morning after the bell rang for the school day to begin, the teacher and us kids would stand up and put our right hand over our hearts and in unison would say these words. ( I Pledge Allegiance to The Flag of The United States of America And To The Republic For Which It Stands One Nation Under God Indivisible With Liberty And Justice For All.) Looking back now, I see how Truly Amazing That Was and Is. One Very Blessed American Girl ❤️🇺🇲 Star's and Stripes Forever. In God We Trust!
