I served with Mr. Cruz on the USS Pennsylvania gold crew. Great guy.

[@badjune1]

Toby Keith you are one class act sir.... My husband saw you in Afghanistan Bagram in May 2012, he got to call me while you were playing. Thank You for all you do to support our troops and their families....

[@TheBrennification]

I'll admit- I cried. I'm a 18 year old male. My brother just got home from Afghanistan. Toby Keith is so supportive of our troops. God Bless Toby, God Bless our Troops, and God Bless America!

[@AmericanChick93]

i bet she will never forget that night.. a moment with Toby and got to see her husband.. im PROUD to be and AMERICAN!! and this is why!!

[@BradCountrygirl1]

Say what you want about Toby, but he is never apologetic about our country. What a wonderful surprise for this family!!!

[@bearle97]

This mans voice is amazing

[@pretoshohmoofc]

Canada has the best cousins in the world. Our friends in the south. God Bless America.

[@LifeStartCPR64669]

Thank you Maj. Cruz.... And EVERY Single soldier/airman-woman/marine/sailor... Your commitment & dedication does NOT go unnoticed!!! Thank you all for your service!

[@nsbcuda83]

As a veteran, I know celebrities like Toby are deeply appreciated!! This video just goes to show he is no fake. He has shown support for the Armed Forces & their families, plus he backs it up every chance he gets!! Keep cranking out the music Toby & you said it very well. "NEVER apologize for being patriotic!! FUCK'EM!!!"

[@charlesmauck5315]

Man this is awesome. I cannot believe he did that. He had no obligation to bring this lady on stage to reunite her with her husband. I deployed several times so i know the feeling that they are going through. Toby Keith is a wonderful person and one hell of an american. Its people like him that makes it all worth it.

[@bigwillvtwin70]

Toby your a class act brother!!!!! Never apologize for being patriotic Amen!!!!

[@leonegatt4889]

And that lady’s and gentleman is what I call a beautiful Man

[@paulprovenzano1093]

Toby Keith is the greatest. He has an absolute love and dedication to everyone who has ever put on the uniform. He loves our country and has a message for all of us, 'country or not.' those dislikes must've come from some soulless trolls that don't understand.... all love is Love.

[@AnthonyD1986]

Agree or disagree with the wars. This is true patriotism at it's finest. God Bless America and the rest of the world.

[@bigsparky65]

Toby Keith is awesome, he's for our troops 100%. Everyone should be like him

[@MrRoycole]

[@coltsfan4lyfe]

I am not a fan of country music at all, but I can watch/listen to this all day, every day. Well played Toby, well played sir.

[@DE3and88RULE]

Just another reason I'm a fan of Toby. A true class act and a patriot!

[@hammbone205]

[@Tigger5400]

I just adore TK, he is becoming my all time fav in the Country music genre. He stays true to himself, USA, the troops and Country Music. I love his voice and passion and that he will take a stand for something.

[@60BlackRaven]

Toby Keith ... thank you so much! And thank you to all the people in the military for your service!!!! I have so much respect for you and your families. Never apologize for being patriotic!!!

[@chrisrowland6900]

I have never loved Toby more. What a stand up dude. Cracking me up that’s hes up there half lit celebrating too. MERICA! Live it up brother.

[@badkittygrl4567]

What the hell is this?! Its so romantic!...Its like the ending of a freaking movie!!!

[@Cheyenne605]

I signed in to Facebook just to say how much I appreciate Toby Keith. While one act was oversees bashing our great country Toby was writing songs to bring us all together. Never apologize for being patriotic.God bless him and a huge thank you to the one who filmed this and shared it with us all.

[@Breadon92]

i honestly don't care if your American, Canadian, German, British, French, Iraqi, Russian or any other nationality. i support all soldiers. they live and die for their countries and to protect those who they love and care for. anyone who bashes soldiers and say's they're nothing but murderers should take a step in their shoes. they put their lives on the line every day so you can live your blissfully ignorant lives. if you can't back our soldiers then feel free to stand in front of them.

[@genodc1439]

Thought of my son.....as he was over in Japan...and elsewhere...with the Navy!! Worried so much!! God Bless the RED CROSS for helping us out so many times!! Glad he's home in the US!!

[@blackiesheep6243]

Toby Keith, you make me proud to be an American! Class act as well to stand back and let this couple have their moment.

[@lindalu121]

I love Toby Keith you are AWESOME !!!

[@SarahM-ig6wm]

This video brought tears to my eyes. Welcome Home Major Cruz! Hooah! Toby Keith is a class act!

[@donnajones9695]

OMG, this gave me chills and tears! Toby you are awesome and so giving. To all the soldiers and families that sacrifice for all of us, THANK YOU for my freedom

[@Beardedfurflinger]

A class act,he's 1 that not only talks the the talk but walks the walk,God Bless him & his entire band,their families,& all who serve past,present,& future.

[@faylove24]

I was there! Definitely something I'll never forget. Amazing concert.

[@hellsinvader]

God bless this guy. I'm not much of a country fan but this guy is a great musician, great lyricist, and he truly appreciates the sacrifices that our servicemen and women make and he makes sure to make that a point in his live shows (I'm proud to say I've seen him live 4 times). He has a good heart on him. And as I watched him perform American Soldier and Courtesy of the Red White and Blue live in honor of those serving while wounded soldiers stood on stage with him it was great. Much respect

[@JimMLINY]

Toby has become this generation's Bobe Hope and that is a good thing, the ole timers will know what I mean!

[@genodc1439]

Tody...Baby.....you're freaking killing me!!! Can't handle the tears!!! My Grandfather, father, uncle, son, nephew and others served....AND GOD DAMN....they ALL CAME HOME!! Thank God. But this song takes me to my knee's!

[@dhdmom1998]

This song is for my loving sister who passed away all of a sudden September 24. 2012..I miss you and love you so much. I know I will see you in heaven when I get there.

[@TKRoxstar1]

Speechless...., and I don't know them. Toby, there's no words to describe how selfless and generous that was. You rock!! Why cant the news play this stuff, more people would watch, lol. Have you thanked a soldier today? No excuse if your in the airport. Thanks to NashvilleGab for this bad ass vid.

Very cool. Toby is a class act and one of the truly greats.

[@devildog1268]

HELL YEAH!!!! TOBY ROCKS!! WELCOME HOME MAJOR PETE CRUZ!! SEMPER FI!

[@ilovemichaelv4ever]

For those 8 of you who disliked this video it better be because the video kept going out of focus. Otherwise you are cold-hearted, un-American or both

[@mavx318]

I agree 100 percent. They can GTFO if they don't like it.

[@jellybeansjt]

countryboy2223, how can you call yourself country if you don't know who Toby Keith is? He is the most awesome male country singer and is very patriotic! I love you Toby!

[@jonathandukellis8186]

Hits me in the Heart.

[@DANI387x]

Im hysterical crying- I can't imagine how you feel watching this knowing them personally.

[@KelticWoman1]

Never heard of Toby Keith before stumbling on this in youtube world - great voice, loved his words, music will certainly look out for more of his music.

[@KotchaWarrior1979]

[@TKRoxstar1]

Alison, first of all Toby did not put this video out there. I was at the show and made this video and sent it to Nashville Gab so everyone could enjoy it. I applaud anyone who supports our Brave men and women who serve. You should ask Harrahs about the clothing they purchase. This is not a place to bash Toby.

[@kendrabush8583]

this video is amazing... Ur awesome Toby Keith

[@TXNole10]

Awesome move Toby!! Thank you Major Cruz!!

[@marshdickenson]

If I was 40 years younger and looked like Miss America I would chase Tobe until he caught me❤️🤭

[@KaleEmAll]

And an MP at that! This might be my favorite surprise return home video on youtube. We have Toby Keith, patriotic songs, assuming tons of beer, a Soldier, surprises, and did I mention a Soldier? I did? Fuck it, it deserves two mentions!

[@TheWolgerSurface]

RESPECT! LOVE! THANK YOU!

[@MrSilicon605]

@Coonassanova Very true; being a Canadian I feel the same but truly admire the indomitable spirit americans have even after 911, for it is a spirit which shall not ever fade away. I'm grateful they are our neighbors. Tku. USA!
