Toby did write it after 9/11 & it was originally JUST for the troops. One of the commanders told him he had to record it & that ALL Americans needed to hear it. So, Toby eventually did release it for the rest of it. 'American soldier' is great too. More mellow than this one.

Toby performed at 15 USO tours all over the world. He even flew into war zones to perform for them. He would then fly to areas where soldiers were that couldn't make it to the show to meet them. He would stay for hours just to meet them, sign autographs and take pictures with them. We lost a great patriot and a great man. He will be missed.

I've bn watching Toby Keith reactions for a cpl wks (u must be doing same). I replied to u earlier on another & u replied back (appreciated wht u said back). Other part of my Iraq story is my wife & I (just celebrated 21st anniversary) were married only 5 days b4 I went. She stayed strong & supported me while I was gone. I'll always love & respect her for it. Sometimes I feel "the Troops" get all the "Thank Yous" but I keep in mind w/o good family back home, the Troops wldn't be able to do what they do. I agree w/u, seeing young people being positive on KZbin gives me hope also. Not all kids today are "bad" (I hv amazing 18yr old daughter who puts flags on graves w/me on Nov. 11th & I ensure she respects some of the brave ladies who went b4 her). Did my best to "raise her right." Most of the American People are good no matter how they try to divide us.

This is his absolute song that made him a national treasure, with American soldier! Love love love this song and this man’s service to the troops behind enemy lines it wasn’t easy and he did it well he was and always will be loved for his service! They made him an honorary tank commander, he risked his life many times to sing for the troops he even sang “ the taliban song which is a spoof behind enemy lines lol he was hated by the enemy… a good thing! It is a military anthem for the troops. Need to listen to American soldier

Toby always had jokes... Except when he talked about the military. Give that man any other subject, jokes. But if the military was involved... tears. And for good reason. That man appreciated his country, his rights, and the soldiers who died defending those rights. And as an American and a Veteran I will always love Toby. I hope there is a heaven so I can finally shake his hand. Thank you to all my fellow patriots and service members who read this comment. And a special thank you to Toby. Because if it hadn't been for his support and the support of other service members and supporters, I probably would have given up years ago.

Another great 9/11 tribute is “Where were you when the world stopped turning?” by Alan Jackson. These two songs together represent the spectrum of emotions that Americans felt right after the tragedy. Toby sang about the angry American here and Alan represented the grief that we all felt. I highly recommend checking it out.

I'm from Nebraska. I lived in Houston 12 years. All my exes live in Tx, yeah, yeah. (all one) I absolutely LOVED the TX attitude? They say what they mean, and mean what they say. I'm whitey-tighty. There was not any rascism back in the 80's. Most of my friends were blacks and hispanics. NO BIG DEAL? It's a shame how we have devolved. We used to hang out and do things together? Go to the gun range, whatever. I would always be in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt, and Rodney Woods, and a few of his buddies, and their GFs would always be dressed in their sunday best? To go to a gun range? lol. That always tripped me out. Blacks ALWAYS dressed to the nines, they took pride in how they looked. We all had a good time. I absolutely HATE how divided we have become. Good Luck and God Bless.

Please take some moments to review "Boatlift" (narrated by Tom Hanks) about the 9-11 effort to evacuate NY during the attack. I think this should be required in High Schools as a part of their civic's curriculum. I would be interested in your take on that.
