That was my dad. He was a WWII and a Korean War veteran. He could have served in Vietnam but he retired the day before his unit got shipped out. He served for 22 faithful years until retiring in 1966. He was the reason why I went into the Army myself. He died while I was in the military and I devoted the rest of my military career to his memory. I love you and miss you, dad. I hoped I made you proud.

My 91 yr old husband is always thankful when anyone thanks him for his service. He was in Korea from Dec 1950 to Jan 1952...He said he had never been so cold. He is from a cold state, too. Thank you Toby Keith

I was 17 years old when we flew in the jungle South Vietnam and turn 18 on the Fall of Saigon 4/30/75 and 42 years later a service officer Vets helping Veterans for the American Legion post 403 Oktaha, Okla. AMERICAN PROUD.

One of the best tributes that I have ever seen. Toby Keith was a true patriot. Fly High Toby

[relapzz]

Rest in paradise Toby, you were truly an American patriot. Such a devastating loss for America and American music

I am a vet and when I go to the VA hospital I occasionally get to meet heros like this man. I am humbled by how humble they are. I called one a member of the greatest generation that saved the world at that time, he replied "no we just did what we had to", just like a hero would say. And not knowing his full story I do know this Manilla was a meat grinder, Korea was as well my dad was there and he never said one word about what he went through other than he had his left knee shattered, and in Vietnam the most dangerous job was being on a helicopter crew. So this hero has seen some serious shite, and survived. God Bless Him and America.

Thank you for your service sir God bless you

Being a vet myself I love his patriotism...

People have seemed to have forgotten about our old people. It’s sad, because they are lonely as hell, most are widows, and have nothing to do. Say hi, spark up a conversation, make a friend. They have a lot more to talk about than most of folks today

[williamkeck]

Anyone that's a true patriot, especially a vet should tear up at this. I'm a Viet Nam vet. I cried watching this. When I think about how the younger generations have little love of country, I wonder how much longer AMERICA will exist. But a true patriot will bleed RED, WHITE and BLUE, AND FIGHT FOR AMERICA TO THE DEATH OF ONE OR THE OTHER. AMERICAS OR MINE. GOD BLESS AMERICA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have plenty of friends and family in the Armed Forces, and my best friend is a Navy SEAL. It is their sacrifices that let all of us do what we do daily. Everyone needs to take a second to thank a soldier.

[darrellwall]

This is why i am PROUD to be an American!

Had to watch this again after Toby Keith's passing. Very moving video.
The messages Toby Keith gave us through his music and philanthropy live on. It's a sad time, especially for those in the military whom Toby supported, but to paraphrase General Patton, "We should rejoice that people such as this have lived among us." We must continue to pay tribute to Toby at the very least, by never apologizing for being a patriot, and voting.
May God bless Toby's family and friends, and may his memory be a blessing.
