Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Toby Keith - American Soldier! Tugging on my heart strings..

[@BlackPegasusRaps]

Here’s a link to my reaction to courtesy of the red, white and blue by Toby. A bunch of people in this comment section keep asking for that,and I reacted to this a while back so here you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWjGm5KGbLprfsU

[@mikenichols9475]

This was Toby Keith's best song by far in my opinion, from what I've heard Toby did a lot for those in uniform.

[@angelabennett-engele1977]

@BlackPegasusRaps I cannot thank you enough, or agree with you any deeper on what you said. My dad (USAF Capt. Steven Bennett) was KIA in Vietnam and posthumously received the Medal of Honor. I am so in awe of him, what he stood for, and how honorably he lived his life. I am proud to be his daughter. Songs like these fuel our patriotism and make us proud to be American. As hokey as many people think Billy Ray Cyrus is,he has a song that I highly recommend you listen to. "All Gave Some". That song gets me every single time. So does this one. This is a fantastic reaction. Thank you for supporting the men and women of our services. Thank you to your dad for his lifetime of service to our great US Air Force!

[@emilyjade209]

My grandpa passed away in 2020. He was in the U.S. Airforce. This song always makes me emotional because when I hear it I close my eyes I see him as a young man in his Air Force uniform and tears start to fall. May he rest in peace ❤️🕊️

Toby was a true patriot. This was from his heart. I am in total agreement with you when it comes to separating the soldiers from the government. The government may be crooked but the soldiers are out there to protect our country and we wouldn't have the freedoms we have without them. God bless our military men and women.

[@ScottSands-f4o]

Yes he was. He did so much work helping the military. He is a national treasure.

[@marshawargo7238]

It made me so very angry that the "make peace not war" delegates were putting out all of their hate on the soldiers doing their job! A job that they were forced into! Spitting on & throwing rocks at soldiers is equivalent to doing the same thing to a cashier because of high prices at a grocery store😢!!! Throwing out your opinion at the person who has no control and can do the least! I'm sure that you don't think that the cashier isn't mad about the price just as much, and that soldiers don't just get up and think, I want to go away from my family and risk my life, to see how many people I can kill, who are also away from their family, risking their lives, just to do a job that they didn't see coming either😢!!!

Toby WAS out in war zones. He did many shows for our soldiers.

Out of all the artists who performed for us while I was in the Army, Toby is the one I wanted to see the most. And I never saw him... Story of my life. I wanted to be stationed in Japan... didn't happen. Wanted to see Toby Keith live... Didn't happen. I saw, Dave Attell, Gabriel Iglesias, Chris Daughtry, Chevelle, Mushroomhead, Smile Empty Soul. The Lieutenant Dan Band, Flyleaf. I can keep going. I never got to see Toby live. And now I never will...

[@dillodefense]

@galerios1 I am so sorry. My father talked about Bob Hope coming to Viet Nam. He never got to see him perform. He was flying around the event providing security. After the show, they were able to meet everyone and hang out in the bar. It was the cast's way of saying thank you for keeping them safe.

[@galerios1]

@@dillodefense Thanks. I'm still grateful that I got to see so many other great shows. And they blasted Courtesy of the Red White And Blue during my basic training graduation so that was something.

My husband and I took my daughter to a Toby Keith concert about a week before she went off to basic training for the Army. He performed this song and I ugly cried. She was deployed for a tour in Iraq and was injured and medically retired. This song still makes me emotional.

I'm the proud mom of an American Soldier. I sometimes forget that. I still see her as my little girl in lace and pink bows.

[@karenbliss8719]

Same here. My son will be 41 in May and even though his time in the service was only 6 years, he lives it every day and is very proud of his service and so am I. It may have only been 6 years but he’ll tell you he’s a marine for life! I also have a daughter and this may sound horrible, but I can’t imagine her being in the service.😬. And I don’t mean for that to sound bad at all. Your daughter sounds like a very brave and courageous woman but like you said, I still see my little girl. My son has wanted to be a marine since he was 3 years old. Maybe that’s the difference, I heard from the age of 3 until he signed the papers at 18 how he was going to be a marine. Both of my kids turned out to be great adults and that’s what I’m most proud of. Please tell your daughter thank you for her service!

[@jcpahman77]

I'm in my 40s, I didn't know a lot about the Vietnam war, and even less about Korea, but I did know about how soldiers etc were treated when they came home. Fast forward to my 20s and I was coming home from a 15 month tour of Iraq as a transporter with the Army. We landed in Bangor Maine to refuel and get a new crew which meant we were going to have a couple hours in the airport. It was the middle of the night, but we stepped into the jetway toward the terminal and it was lined shoulder to shoulder on both sides with Korean and Vietnam veterans welcoming us home. I wanted to shrink into the carpet. I wept the entire way as I walked. I knew what they had suffered in war, and even more what they suffered when they came home yet here they were, welcoming me home and I hadn't suffered nearly anything. Even as my memory continues to fail me, I'll never forget that day.

[@gmconklin4496]

This one gets me every time. Too many don't understand, freedom is NOT free. And regardless of how we feel about the government and their decisions, an American solder deserves your respect.

[@CelticStar87]

Respecting our military despite how we might feel about the government was lesson learned too late, especially when it comes to Vietnam Vets. I can remember how some felt when we went to war against Iraq after 9/11, the concern that the soldiers would get the same treatment as many Vietnam vets received… I live near a Naval Air Station and every time their jets fly (which is quite frequently) I am reminded of the fact that the freedoms we have in this country, freedoms that are often taken for granted (like being able to be vocal against the government) come at a cost.

[@GoatFishingFY04]

As a twenty year Navy Vet this song always brings tears to my eyes. I was stationed on USS Nimitz on 9/11 and Toby's Courtesy of the Red White and Blue still gets me today. The guy was the all American brick $hit house and his loss is immeasurable.

Toby Keith was an incredible man. Stayed true to who he was and was such a great Patriot. Did 11 USO tours playing over 240 shows for our troops. Sometimes even as bombs were going off. The tours stopped with the pandemic and it was during that time he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. He lost his battle with cancer on February 5, 2024. Please react to some of these when you get a chance. Me Too. (Great song about love from a man's words). How Do You Like Me Now. Red Solo Cup. We Were In Love. (The build in the chorus is incredible). Trailerhood. I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again. Who's That Man. I Wanna Talk About Me. Don't Let The Old Man In. He Ain't Worth Missing.

When he returned a changed person, he also chose to end his life because he could no longer fight those demons.

This video always gets to me. My dad was in the Air Force for 21 years Out of the last 8 years he spent 13 months in Thailand during the Vietnam war. And after that he was home 3 months and then in Okinawa for 3 months until he retired. Every time he left or came home, we would be there. At the end of the video it shows a soldier writing a letter. Every single day, my dad was gone my mom and dad wrote letters to each other.

How awesome that the casting director reached out to you! True patriots do what they have to do! If we didn't have patriots we would be under tyranny! Governments start wars not the citizens! Rest In Paradise Toby and to all that fought for this country! We are a young country compared to the rest of the world but we will hold our own! NEVER FORGET! Prayers for our new administration!

Love this song, love Toby, he was a patriot! My husband is a retired soldier, we went through several deployments and many panicked nights when you're in the middle of a phone call that is cut off from incoming. It's not an easy job and he will be a soldier until the end. My job is taking care of our soldiers and it's sad to see these young kids coming in that have pr I missed this same thing but just by looking at them... they are not ready for this type of commitment. They're not built like previous generations of men and women that made that sacrifice for us. Toby will always be known for his patriotism and support of our troops.

Thankful I was able to meet him and tell him Thank You for your Support of our Military members. I took a picture of him with my son, who is in the Military. ❤❤❤

I've got family and friends in nearly every branch of the military. Songs like this always get me teary eyed.

[@brendafetterman4683]

Such a great tune. It really gets me as a person who is very patriotic and with many family and friends who have served. Much respect

[@reginairvine3919]

This song always gets me straight in my feelings! 😢😢

[@kimberlyblair5996]

My gosh, your commentary was spot on, pointing out real issues we face as citizens of this country. Thank you for your honesty. My family is full of veterans, including 2 sons. One deployed to Iraq 2x. The other deployed to Afghanistan. My respect to the families that make the military a 20-30 year career.
