We miss you our Navajo warrior rest in peace Riot WhiteRIver ❤A’HO ❤

[@ronaldhudson6560]

I am so sorry for your loss! No words can help much. I am a Vietnam War veteran who served also during Desert Storm. I thought many times about what my family would do if something happened to me. You illustrate what I now know, that life goes on due to our spouses and families. I am so sorry for your loss but I honor your husband, your brother and of course you!! Hand Salute!

[@user-qb3gi7ld5k]

I'm sorry that happened maam

[@jodyellis2222]

I'm so sorry. I was in Mosul as well. I came here to watch this man's reaction on the day Toby Keith died. Bless you ma'am

[@jaykash9091]

Sorry for ur loss and may god and his father varey ur son thru anything he may see u have lost enough and for ur sacrifice we are greatful

[@bcyomassey649]

I’m pretty sure Toby Keith is 85% of the reason I joined the Marine corps, all those songs after 9-11

[@CRJR94]

Thank you❤️

[@9HighFlyer9]

For sure, Thank you. I ETS'd in Aug of 01. When I enlisted we were firmly entrenched in that post Cold War peace. Anyone who joined after 9/11 knew they could and probably would be in harms way at some point. I don't think the Millennials get enough recognition for that. Not all of you were the manbun, soy latte, pronoun crowd.

[@fluffylittlebear]

Between Toby Keith and Trace Adkins, I'm surprised all 330 million Americans haven't enlisted.

[@mckrackin5324]

Take it from an old soldier... We don't want the thanks. We just want you to be someone worth fighting for. That's thanks enough.

[@pennybarr3391]

Toby Keith passed away last night after a 3 year battle with stomach cancer. You should check out his song don’t let the old man in. He just sang it in December at the peoples choice awards on NBC. RIP Toby his legend lives on.

[@brianhoward9336]

I have served in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy and my time in both was the greatest Honor of my life. I consider myself a sailor for life.

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJama]

Thank you so much!! ❤️🇺🇸

[@the-superbike-squad]

Salute to you brother, much respect, from an old jar head.

[@robinmills8675]

My grandfather was in the Navy in WW1, my father (too young at the time for the Navy) lied about his age and was in the Merchant Marines in WW2, and my uncle was in the Navy during Korea. When Vietnam rolled around my male cousins were still in high school, and then my family started producing girls😊, but I currently live across the street from NAS Oceana. Go Navy. Thank you for your service.

[@merrillpayton]

Here's a salute to you, thanks brother!!!

[@patticriss2238]

My eldest son was a sailor. A submariner. Bless you

As a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience who has lost friends in service of my country, thank you for your reaction!

[@kathieovercash8414]

Thank you all for your service.

[@kathyw2355]

Its so hard to believe that this voice has been silenced due to stomach cancer . Thank you for playing Toby Keith he's a force that will be missed. Thank goodness we've got his music forever ❤

[@Beans-1111]

My father suffered from PTSD from the Vietnam War till he died. He cried every single night saying, "I did it dad. Now I'm just like you." His father was in WWII.

[@kpgrubb1]

I'm so sorry to hear of his PTSD. I got off lucky. He didn't. Your dad did his duty. Not for him, but for others, and his country.

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJama]

That’s heartbreaking 😭

[@jaymichaelruss6872]

Toby Keith is an amazing American and very patriotic. He's done 11 USO tours since 2002 performing for our troops. Love him. Glad you liked the song my friend.

[@patticriss2238]

My oldest son and my oldest foster son were both deployed when this hit the airwaves. I had to pull over and cry. One a Navy submariner, one an army 100th cav. It broke me. They are fine men. Both raising families and speaking truth. Thank you.

[@patmurray9730]

I'm third generation of 4 service people in our family. My grandfather was in the Army in WWI. Injured by mustard gas. His chest was a mess. My Dad was in the Navy during WWII. I was lucky, I was in the USAF during the Cold War. Never saw action. I worked for the Navy for 25 years after I got out. My oldest was in the Army after he floundered around a bit. REALLY straightened him out.

[@nancysexton4364]

Shout out to country music as well. Their performers are virtually the only ones who acknowledge and sing the praises of our troops.

[@sherikuykendall2621]

I love the way you feel towards these patriotic songs... I cry at every one them.. I have so much love and respect for our military here in America. God Bless Them...Thank you

[@scottfoote3099]

Rip Toby Keith

[@marieneu264]

5:34 “cause freedom don’t come free” gets me every single time.

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJama]

Eternal thanks to our military!! My dad was in Vietnam and went on to serve 20 years in the USAF………. My one grandpa and a great uncle were in WWII…. My cousin served stateside in the Army…. My husband has mentioned his dad although it seems like more of a PARAmilitary situation-but he’s amazing and no doubt in my mind, protecting his family so thank you Aabe…… One of my uncles also in Vietnam… One of my mom’s cousins killed in Korea in 1953……….. Every one who was brave enough to do what quite frankly I’m incapable of doing ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

I am a veteran and so is my son , my father, grandfather and several generations back after that as far as I could trace our history. God Bless the USA!

I am the daughter of a Vietnam marine veteran who when he came home was spat on and called a baby killer. He is battling the effects of agent orange. Its hard to watch but as i was born at camp Pendleton whilehe was still a marine im damn proud of my dad and for all who serve

[@cherylh.1910]

Brilliant reaction, thank you. All Toby’s song are wonderful and funny.

[@planojag595]

Toby Keith has some great songs so whether you need to hear something heartfelt, patriotic, romantic, sad, melancholy, inspiring, thoughtful, or just plain funny, yeah especially funny, then Toby’s got what you need. My favorite songs by Toby Keith are Who’s That Man; Wish I Didn’t Know Now; You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like That; He Ain’t Worth Missing; We Were In Love; Upstairs Downtown; How Do You Like Me Now; I Wanna Talk About Me; American Soldier; Trailerhood; A Little Too Late; A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action; and of course Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.

[@wesleyahrendt9988]

I'm a veteran 53 yo , watched your reaction, really liked what you had to say!! Tobby K. Just us a way of getting people in the heart!! I'm basically a lone hermet, and it is songs and people like this that keep me going! Take care and God bless!!

[@KAP814]

You seem like a really great guy…bless you.

[@johndavids4780]

I remember the soft touch of my daughter's cheek on mine and the butterfly kisses and the yearning to have that again drove me. That was harder than the combat for me. That touch on my cheek from my little girl as she grew up more away from me. I still after 40 years still feel it today even though she is grown and is a mother herself.

[@ftomaka]

WONDERFUL video! Your sensitivity to the subscriber whom you suspected of struggling and your incredibly generous offer to him, confirmed my feeling of what a wonderful human being you are. You are "genuine" and you and your wife are amazing parents

God bless our soldiers and veterans who give and gave their all in our nation’s name! You are all our very best! We love you all!

[@gigimarie9431]

You're probably the best reaction ive seen to this song. Ive come from a long military family. Ive a great great uncle who served with Teddy Roosevelt and The Rough Riders, my Grandfather served in the Korean War. I had an uncle in Vietnam. 2 of my brothers were Marines and 1 was Airforce. When i turned 18 i tried to do Army. I got a great score on my ASVAB, unfortunately i couldnt pass my physical due to health reasons so i was unable to join. It hurt me to this day to know that i wasnt able to serve my country. But im so thankful to the men and women who can. This song always gets to me

[@rickdoner5181]

As much as we appreciate you honoring us, honor the families left behind more. They never know where you are, what is going on, or if you are coming back. We at least are in the present, they are in limbo.

[@jodyellis2222]

Dude, this was and has been my Motto song of my life since it came out. 20+ years as a Soldier. Now retired but this song, does it to me. Rest in peace Cowboy, Toby Keith!!!

[@tonyaburke-zc7gt]

hard to believe he is gone.

[@karenminyard517]

I really loved your reaction. My husband was a VN veteran and recently passed away. My father, father-in-law and 2 uncles served in WW2. This song always makes me so proud of them. God Bless all soldiers for their service! 🙏❤

[@christienegrete7616]

Thank you so much for the reaction ❤️🤍💙

Binging Toby Keith reactions. RIP Toby. You will be missed.

Got recalled back to the Marine Corps after 9/11 and then while at MCB Quantico we went through the DC Sniper event. I can't tell you how many ppl I pulled out of white vans at gunpoint. Scary times.

[@robertutes4850]

I am a Desert Storm Veteran, and I carry all the pride in being an American even though my ancestors were European migrants, to me - being an American isn't just for someone from the "Americas" It is for anyone around the world who stands for freedom - liberty - justice and people who enrich themselves by living with the right morals - ethics and holding themselves to a higher standard - being true to your word. I consider myself "oldschool" American, my grandparents were born in the 1800s and i came up with their belief system, it didn't matter where you were from - if you called this soil Home, you were willing to fight and die for it - no questions asked, the way it was looked at was, ( that if i die defending my Country, fighting to protect my brothers with me, protecting the wife and kids...that means that someone else's father - husband - son or brother might live and carry on, then so be it) there was no holding back - I will never kneel or yield, My Flag will NEVER touch the ground, as long as there is a breath in me - I will stand up for weak and the poor, the less fortunate, the beaten down...anyone who needs help - it's just how i was made... The United States is an experiment, United We Stand - Divided We Fall is the only way it will work, and that goes for all of us around the world. Being an American is a state of mind. Under the Heavens We are all One...

[@countryhippie627]

Im so proud everytime i see your reaction to an "American Pride" video! My pride is already unwavering, but after 9/11, i lost my cousin in Iraq in 2007. That made it even stronger. No matter how many times i hear these songs, inget goosebumps and i tear up. I just subscribed to your channel yesterday, loving it so far! All the love from America 🇺🇸

[@johncrout3833]

That's a beauty of music, No matter where we're from... One word hit our soul and with meaning touches us You can't fight that.... There's no ethnic religious or any other background that can fight that

You my friend are an outstanding human. Love all your videos. Love to you and your family.

As a U.S. Army, Vietnam War veteran, I appreciate your presentation and commentary of several patriotic songs! Your comments were heartfelt. Toby Keith is a real favorite American to me, Thank You!

I remember listening this after 9/ll.. I have 5 children that were very young in 2001... knowing I had American soldiers (sp) there at the front lines... can't say I slept better.. I was so scared for my kids at that point.. but this did help me.

[@michellejackson6679]

Yes..lets all pray for Toby with his cancer battle.. pls

[@johnlake4809]

Mr Graham, your channel is still on the smaller side, but I don't know how or why. Your content is interesting, your enthusiasm is boundless, and you seem very genuine. I'm terminally ill, so the odds of ever getting to meet you is slim, young man. All I can say is keep up the good work, I look for new content everyday, because you make me look at America through your eyes. I'm not going to talk politics, but i wish America's youth could see this country through your eyes before its too late. I don't have alot of extra money, but let me buy you a "coffee".

[@Thecoff638]

So then I’ll start Hi Jeff I’m Shawn, How are you. Today was the first good day I’ve had in a while. Life has really been hard lately it’s been one knock back after another. My wife was diagnosed with a condition where the back of her skull didn’t grow enough room for her brain and it’s being forced down in to her spinal column. Most days she can’t get out of bed bc of the headaches. We have 2 little girls that don’t understand why mommy can’t play with them anymore and I know they can hear her crying in the bedroom. Work hasn’t been going very well and the bills are starting to stack up. Today we ate dinner together as a family. That’s something we did every night,and we don’t get to do much anymore. Today was a good day for me. What does a good day look like for you?

[@kathygalloway3783]

This song came out when my oldest was in Iraq the first time as a lune medical. A baby to me only 20 yes old. Always brings back thise memories. He's retired from the army. Thank you Jesus hue's still with us.

I am ALL for you commenting and pausing to share your thoughts.

Keep your head up John and we all stumble sometimes so just stumble forward! I have the privilege of being a Marine (2003-14 rotations in ME) Once a Marine always a Marine. I'm 6th generation military but one of things I'm most proud of is my son(Army) and daughter (Navy) are our 7th generation. Would've been proud of them no matter what they decided to do with their life but being at their basic graduation and watching them salute was something that I just don't have the words to describe. Don't know why but thought I would share

So many did so much that we don't even hear about. My father was in the army for 30 years as a Chaplain. He suffered from PTSD. Toby Keith can hit it right on the head.

[@jerrymathis5740]

I knew before age 10 that I wanted to serve in the US military, just like all the men in my family had before me for I know at least 4 generations. I had planned to serve for 30 years and retire. But I was medically retired from the Army after only 19 years. I am glad that I served, and I would do it again if given the chance.

[@user-qb3gi7ld5k]

Thank you sir for helpinh your friends with depression. I am an american have been on front lines. We dont want to go but we do. Thank you again go over kick jons but ha ha ha. Thank you sir again

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJama]

If you’re interested in more American patriotic music, I HIGHLY recommend “God Bless the USA” - originally from Lee Greenwood, but also a really beautiful cover by Home Free. The Home Free version actually features a bunch of extremely talented service people And then “Where Were You” by Alan Jackson. I’ve heard the other Toby Keith song is very “fk around and find out” - and Alan Jackson’s post-9/11 song is more of giving our nation a hug ❤🇺🇸

[@theirishslyeyes]

"Arlington" by Trace Adkins is so moving as well

[@zacklaine2798]

I'm an American. When I was 18 I tried to get recruited by three different branches of the military and because of the fact that I have arthritis in my right knee all 3 said no. I was so devastated that I was depressed for nearly a year.

I love this song, it reminds me of my brother & nephew. My brother is retired from the military & my nephew is currently in the Army Special Forces & expecting is 1st child in June. Thank you for reacting to it.❤

[@user-iq5oj5pt7o]

As an old fourth generation vet, with TBI and PTSD, existing under a VA program for homeless vets, I will say he is was an amazing patriot that loved us vets. Salute to my brother and sister veterans! May you be finding peace with the war within and honor in the oath that never dies. As for all who haven't served, remember that every freedom the government tries to take from you in protection from what they nost likely created in the first place, that someone died for you to have that freedom and the cost could be easily as much to get it back. Also, veterans don't swear an oath to the government, to a party or to a president ( even though he is the commander) they swear and oath to the people, to the protection of the constitution. Just saying.

[@tinajustvig5921]

As a wife, your are so proud you want to burst. My military husband passed almost a year and a half ago and he lived long enough to give me his benefits for the rest of his life. He is my hero.

[@mtdreams72]

I love seeing you get that patriotic feeling. But it’s sad in a way that so many who react to this song and are not American get more emotional about our service men and women than a lot of Americans. I can’t watch or even just hear this song without tearing up. I remember sending my little brother off to Afghanistan but then the pride and relief watching him step off that plane back onto Montana soil. Thank you for an amazing reaction!

[@randygagliano4929]

I served for 42 years between the Army and the Marine Corps until I hit the mandatory retirement age. One memory I'll always have is coming home after my first tour of Iraq. My unit basically took over the E-Club on our second night home. The place was having Karaoke night and someone requested this song. One by one we all stood up, went onto the dance floor and started singing this song. We were all standing together, arms around the shoulders of the people next to us, swaying and singing this song, all brothers and sisters in arms. Good memories.
