I agree! I watched a reaction a few days ago, and they didn’t get that the red, white, and blue was related to the flag or the US overall until the final scenes of the video. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm pleased that you reacted to this song. It's one of my favorites. I feel as though America has been under attack for the past 3 years, by people that hate America. I'm 75yrs. of age, and I have never seen so much hate from within. I pray it will get better come Nov. 2024. I love America. God bless America.

I heard that Toby Keith originally only sang this song at USO shows and wasn't planning on recording it for the public. It was just a song to entertain and raise morale for the troops. And I think he accomplished his goal with this song. Eventually someone convinced him that the public also needed to hear it.

[@oldtexastechman9144]

Destroy George soros

[@terryhiggins5077]

It's possible, but keep in mind the album was released in May 2002 so about 7 months after 9/11, and given the lyrics it would have to have been written, approved, and recorded afterward, and in less than 7 months, more likely 6. So if that is indeed true it couldn't have been used at many USO shows exclusively.

[@UncLester]

@@terryhiggins5077 You had me questioning myself so I looked it up and I was partially correct. Apparently Toby said it himself on 60 Minutes. Found this on CBS's website for that interview. But the song he is best known for is called "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," and he told 60 Minutes II that he wrote it in just 20 minutes, a week after 9/11. He wrote it to play for troops on USO tours - something he often volunteers to do. He never intended to release the song on a CD, but then, he played it for Pentagon brass in Washington. "He [the Marine Corp commandant] said, 'You have to release it. You can serve your country in other ways besides suiting up in combat.' We will go kick their butts. But we survive on morale," says Keith. "I mean, we live on the morale. That's what we travel on. And, he said I highly recommend you put that song out."

He did somewhere north of 10 or 11 trips overseas to perform for our troops at his entire expense, he left his family on Thanksgiving and Christmas, he was actually there, he wanted that video made with the troops. May he rest in peace 🕊️😔💔😇 we lost him to stomach cancer Feb 5th

[@eugeneenslow8563]

As a retired 22 year Army veteran, I deeply appreciate your overall reaction, particularly the several pauses and expressions of getting the chills. I also get the chills and tear up every time I hear this song, even though I heard it shortly after it was released.

I came to America at 6 months old with my British mother and American father who was in the USAF. My mother loves this country, grateful for their men who fought to keep England free ! 67 years later, I love America with all my heart ! Your reaction to this amazing song is wonderful!

[@kimevans7223]

Toby Keith did over 11 USO tours, he never got a dime for any of them. He paid his way for the band and the entire cost so that he could show the servicemen. He was behind him, and he wanted to thank him for their service and uplifted them at the same time, unfortunately on February 5 we lost a true American patriot to stomach cancer but his songs will forever live on especially this one. I come from an entire military background. Every male in my family has been in one of the services and I always get chills when I hear this songand I’ve been hearing it since 83 and it hasn’t changed at all

[@lisamcbride8921]

He went overseas many times to perform live for our troops!

[@larryclark4297]

After after 9/11 he wrote this song he went to visit all the troops we have over 320 million men and women in their service in the United States and all overseas and he went too see all the men and women in the hospital Toby Keith that's a Badass Prayers for Toby Keith's he has stomach cancer and he is fighting 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@christopherherndon-op5qo]

I think Toby and Kid Rock are the two performers who went over to the Middle East the most to see the troops. They had a friendly “rivalry” at one point to see who could go over there the most.🤣 Rest in Peace, Toby Keith…a true American and Country music legend!🇺🇸

Toby Keith has done approx. 150 shows for the military even in war zones. He was at base he stated to perform & an explosion went off right outside the "fort" he continued his show 30 min later. In his shows that are near military bases in the US he hosts the wounded soldiers.

[@larubia-se5800]

I enlisted in the US ARMY after 9/11 as a medic. I left my very young son home in Virginia but I had the ability to always run towards helping & our brothers& sisters were being mutilated so I knew I had the ability to help. Unfortunately, during my advanced training I was injured in my hip & it disabled me since 2004 & I'm grateful to be home to watch my son & later on, my daughter grow up. I would be lying if I didn't wake each day w/ a soul wrenching pain knowing all my brothers& sisters I could have helped. & I have all my limbs while so many don't. 1 day I hope to reconcile these feelings.but until the God Bless the USA!💕🙏🏻🇺🇸

Toby did many shows in Iraq and Afghanistan while the War was going on. Any soldiers coming back to Oklahoma, and he was waiting for the plane to land to welcome them home. He was a true patriot and definitely supported our soldiers. All across Oklahoma (where I live too) thousands of fans are sending tributes and sharing stories about Toby Keith. He put fun into a lot of his songs. Another favorite of mine How Do You Like Me Now??

Those goosebumps are probably caused by the real point of this song - that all humans have the right to be free and to pursue happiness, and to feel safe from violence, no matter where they live.

He wasn't just giving it lip service. He did a lot of visits to the troops overseas doing the fighting and kept their moral up. They said he never went home/stopped before anyone who wanted an autograph or to shake his hand had that opportunity. He did so much for our military even when some liberals thought the song was too controversial. We should know by now that making friends with tyranny never works. It just makes bigger and bigger tyranny. Sadly he lost his battle with cancer earlier this month but not before inspiring us with this great song.
