He will not be forgotten.The man was a true patriot and damn good country singer.RIP Toby Keith.

As the mother of a son who served 21 years in the USMC, this touches me deeply. Toby Keith and Trace Adkins have been in Afghanistan and Iraq so often that most deployed military have met at least one of them....sometimes more than once. I saw him perform this live last summer in Indiana, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the place. He's still a great performer.

I've been out of the US Army now for 29 yrs. I still consider myself a soldier. "You can take the soldier out of the Army, you'll never take the Army out of the soldier."

The reason I like this song so much is that it really shows the hardest part of being a soldier. It’s not the danger. Its when you’re in a tent on Christmas Eve thinking about your family that you haven’t seen in a year. I cried a lot overseas and every single time it was when I was in bed at night thinking of my loved ones.

R.I.P. Toby. You'll be missed. My Oldest son remembers seeing him in Afghanistan. And getting a picture with him. Which he sent home to Dad.🤗

"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is beside and behind him."

My Grandad served in Korea 1950-51 Sadly he passed away on May 25th 2001 He was 74 His name was Joe Tucker

I was in my 1st tour of Iraq when this song was released. It instantly became our theme song and conveyed the level of commitment we as Soldiers displayed daily. After 23 years and 4 combat deployments it still has the same effect on me now as it did then. Profound.

Toby Keith's song American soldier is one of the best songs that describes how life as a service member is when they are on active duty.

COOL THANK YOU RECKYJ YOUR A VERY NICE MAN, FROM OKLAHOMA, A NATIVE AMERICAN CHEROKEE , AS AMERICAN AS YOU CAN GET, LOVE YOUR POST, MARK

This was written about my husbunny! I’m so proud to his wife. Thank you to those that served!

Thank you! RIP Toby Keith. Sadly missed. You will enjoy his funny songs as well. Love Who’s your Daddy. By the way your English is amazing! 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Toby’s voice can tear you apart with patriotic pride and devotion!!!!! He speaks for sooo many Americans that don’t seem to be heard!! He is a musical hero standing up for those who put their lives on the line for our freedom!!!!

The part of this video that always gets me in tears is at the end when the dad looks at his wife and kids then walks onto the plane saying his goodbyes. I cry every time. I will always love toby keith and his music. RIP to a legend

Stop worrying about your English. It’s not the language that matters, it’s your communication skills that are important (both verbal and nonverbal) and believe me your communication skills are extremely good. Thanks for your reactions and keep up the good work.

PRAYERS GO OUT TO TOBY KEITH AND HIS FAMILY. MAY GOD GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH, AS TOBY GOES THROUGH STOMACH CANCER TREATMENT. TRUE PATRIOT HE IS. CAPS BAD EYESIGHT 💕🇺🇸🙏💕

Love the pride you feel here. Don't care where you're from.

Your English is great. Thank you for the respect you never fail to show toward our people. We respect you right back.

So many people forget that our military aren't the only ones that serve, so do their families.

Everything we possess as a free nation, we owe it all to the American soldier.

He goes all the way back and includes the Revolutionary War, too.

Thank you all for your service. Toby, I can only imagine Jesus saying “well done, good and faithful servant.” I’m so thankful you were a believer. Eternity is going to be so great!

My husband and I met in the Air Force. He stayed in 20 years. He was drafted and sent to Vietnam in 1968. His Dad was a Army Air Corps fighter pilot in WWII. My Dad also fought in WWII. My husband's family and mine have fought in every single war including my nephews in Afghanistan. My husband passed away in 2012. These patriotic songs bring tears to my eyes. I know the cost and sacrifice. I have always loved my country and am saddened by those who don't these days. I suggest 8th of November by Big and Rich. It will gut you. It's a true story out of the Vietnam War.

Love this song, thanks for checking it out. I love the line “I can’t call in sick on Monday when the weekend’s been too strong” On my ship in the Navy our Senior Chief said we weren’t even allowed to call in dead 😂

I served back in "79" and Ronnie sent us into Beirut, no one really remembers what happened there and that's ok I DO! Just dealing with men not coming home had me so sad.

Aaron Tippin were the stars and stripes and the eagle fly is a great song I really recommend you checking that out!

Wherever and whenever freedom and liberty is threatened - an American soldier stands watch and mans a post.

Recky, great video. I am retired military. People do not understand what young soldiers sacrifice, the time they spend away from families, how hard it is for those families, the fears they live with all the time. My family was lucky I always came home. Many do not! God bless!

Another patriotic military gem by Toby Keith!❤️🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for reacting to Toby Keith's "American Soldier". As an American, I have a great deal of respect for the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. Yes, there are things that need to be addressed and corrected from time to time. But, considering that our Armed Services are made up of people who volunteer to serve, there is a lot to be proud of, and grateful for. Contrary to the image some people have of Americans always looking for a fight, most Americans don't want to start a war. But, we do realize that we have to be prepared and ready to fight when it is necessary. I enjoy your reaction videos and appreciate you thoughts and insights. I look forward to watching more of them.

RIP Toby... this song is absolutely amazing.. My Grandfather served in Europe during WWII.. my Hubby's Dad served in the South Pacific during WWII.. My uncle's served in Nam.. My dad served.. just not during war time. Nothing but respect for all of our soldiers and veterans.. Thank you for you service.

Let's all remember the families, the wives, children are to be commended,too!

I think anyone that loves liberty can appreciate songs like these. They are really come from the heart.

I thought I could listen to this, without tearing up, now that all the uniforms have been hung up. Nope, I still ugly cry.. 14 years, 5 soldiers, 9 deployments and 1 KIA. This song will always hit me, hard, in the gut. Thank you for your reaction.

As an American, you don't have to apologize if you can't get the word exactly right or wrong because we have people from all over the world and we can understand the sentiment

I like to see other peoples outside the USA react to this song because OBVIOUSLY the idea of patriotism, and soldiers of one's country having laid down their lives in prior/current conflicts is universal. I love lyrics. I don't get behind this song as a "YEAH LET"S GO USA" anthem I just really like the theme and lyrics from a soldier's point of view, in service to whatever cause they are committed to, even if that means the ultimate sacrifice. Really great lyrics by Keith I think, indeed timeless lyrics. "I'm just trying to be a father, Who has a daughter and a son Be a lover to their mother Everything for everyone Up and at em bright and early I'm all business in my suit Yeah I'm dressed up for success from head down to my boots I don't do it for the money There's bills that I can't pay I don't do it for the glory I just do it anyway Providing for our future's my responsibility Yeah, I'm real good under pressure Being all that I can be And I can't call in sick on Mondays When the weekends been too strong I just work straight through the holidays And sometimes all night long You can bet that I stand ready When the wolf growls at the door Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady Hey I'm true down to the core And I will always do my duty No matter what the price I've counted up the cost I know the sacrifice Oh, and I don't want to die for you But if dying's asked of me I'll bear that cross with honor 'Cause freedom don't come free. " You cold apply those lyrics to near any soldier anywhere. Replace the "cross" with whatever faith, it still holds true. Really great songwriting.

And let’s not forget about those who served our country, are now in Ukraine fighting for their liberty and freedom. As well as those from other countries volunteering to do the same. Those men and women are truly special people! God bless and be with all of them. 🇺🇸

That man sure can tell a story in his songs just like Johnny Cash used to do and I think Toby has taken up that mantle of best story teller.

Arlington by Trace Atkins is great. Also Till the last shots fired by Trace.

Thank you for reacting to this song Recky. Toby takes his show on the road to many military bases to perform for the troops.

As a US Army vet (with the 3rd Infantry Division) myself this is one of my favorites :)

His songs really hit; I have had three of my kids serve. My oldest went to the Air Force, and my two sons went to the Army. Thankfully they all came home. You need to do some of his fun stuff, "As good as I once was", "Red Solo Cup", and my favorite" Trailerhood'. Enjoy

You expressed yourself good, Toby is really good.

I am seeing this on 9-11-22. Thank you for your homage to our soldiers.

You should listen to Toby Keith's "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses".

I can totally relate to this music video. I was once that lady at the fence seeing her hubby off during deployment. I remember the countless dinners at the hangar because hubby had to pull 24 hr flight duty and wasn't able to come home. My hubby missed out on piano recitals, art exhibits and lots of games while my son was growing up. He watched my son graduate high school on a satellite because he was deployed. The military is not for the faint of heart. Lots of sacrifice had to be made by the soldiers and their families, with that said, we have zero regret. I met so many wonderful people along the way from different walks of life. My hubby finally retired a couple of years ago. We are now catching up on things.

US patriotism at its best, Lee Greenwood singing God Bless the USA. (no links as requested). Thanks for sharing.

I served for over 20 years in the Military i can surely relate i remember the call my unit was being deployed to Operation Desert Shield/Storm, i also served a year away from my family when i was assigned to South Korea. We are always more concerned about our families over ourselves

Great song I never tire of hearing it thanks for reacting to it!

as a disabled combat veteran I appriciate your respect Thank you.

Love it even though it's about American soldiers after serving l have too say you have to remember all the allies who have stood and served with us because they always have to put their lives on the line and leave their families behind. The thing l like about Toby Keith is his music is so down to earth.

Dude, I just discovered you today, and I just love you. This song just gets to me. I'm not from a military family, but my family has served the US when called, from my 5x great grandfather fighting with Francis Marion during the Revolution, my 2x great grandfathers (all of them!) during the Civil War, my grandfather repairing naval ships in WWII, my daddy in Korea, my brother-in-law in Viet Nam. These songs just make proud of their service, and your reaction to these songs makes me proud to know you through YT.

One thing I'll always remember from serving in the US military: "Do the right thing. Even if nobody will know."

Toby actually played over 200 shows all over Iraq & where the soilders were for free.

🇺🇸🤟🏽🇸🇪 SEMPER FIDELIS!!!

We the People 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

no one does it better than Toby

I love Toby Keith. One of my favorite songs of his you might like is Whiskey Girl. He has so many awesome ones though you can’t really go wrong with any you pick out. I was wondering if you are going to be doing anymore Pentatonix reactions? Also I know Mitch is your favorite as he is mine and I don’t know if you saw that he released a solo album called Roses. He uses the name Messer and all the songs are originals written by Mitch( Messer) for it and my absolute favorite song is called “Machine”from that album. It has a 90’s feel to it. I enjoy your thoughtful comments and reactions. Only recently found you but I’m really enjoying your channel.

Review idea: "Mansions of the Lord" - performed by the U.S. Military Academy Cadet Glee Club (from inside the chapel at West Point.) Amazing!

Your reaction touches my soul! 🇺🇸

Another one that brings tears to my eyes as a Veteran who lost too many good friends.

I served 19 years,3 wars,last one 911 til injured.this a favorite, glad I got to take a bunch of marines I served along side,to see toby keith concert,this is a definition of us all veterans,

Another great reaction, my friend!

Please don’t be self conscious about your English. You speak beautifully AND the expression while watching tells the entire story Thank you, from an American Soldier

Another great one by Toby Keith is Made in America.

Such a beautiful reaction. I feel the same way, everything I watch it. ❤️🤍💙🥰

Thank you, and to all armed services. Thank you for your service.

I absolutely love this song. Toby Keith is an amazing artist

I stumbled upon you. This is the fourth video I’ve watched. I really like your style, so I subbed. Don’t ever apologize for your English, it’s just fine and better than most. Looking forward to more. ✌🏻

The little boy saluting his father gets me every time!! This video tears at your heartstrings. God Bless them all - past, present and future. Thanks, so much, for taking our suggestion to watch this. 🙂 Others you may want to hear are Coffey Anderson's 'Red White and Blue' and Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless The USA'. Both excellent songs!

Recky, another good one by Toby Keith is As Good As I Once Was. The video is funny!

Nice reaction!!

I ran across your channel a few days ago. Reaching out to tell you how much I appreciate your respect for the American soldier. I am the son of a retired Army veteran, I served in the Air Force during "an Asian vacation" my eldest son sailed around the world on an aircraft carrier (including Fjords near Sweden) and also ten years in the reserve, my youngest son is a retired combat veteran who served in too many places, his younger sister served as a medic in the reserve. We are not unique. None of us want wars anywhere, but will serve in any way we can to preserve our country and our Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. Recently through DNA testing I came in contact with a first cousin in Sweden. My cousin is very worried about the threat from your east. I said your military has excellent technology, your Air Force has performed excellently alongside US in military exercises. It doesn't matter to me if you join NATO or not, a free country should choose its own path. Either way I don't doubt that we would stand alongside you if there was a call to preserve a free people. I am touched by your willingness to show respect to our people in military service. As you may know there is a strain of Sweden in the USA and my family respects your nation and culture as well. Thank you.

I remember my first combat deployment, my mother was crying thinking the worst. She came to my fathers house, I hugged her and I said I will be fine . Then after four deployments of this type, I think she cried much. My father knew me and he rests in Arlington now.

Here's another song to listen to is not by Toby Keith but is by John Michael Montgomery called Letters From Home and it highlights just how it helps keep morale up in all troops while deployed. To get mail from home from their loved ones is the best time in a deployed troops life besides the day they get told they're going home.

Toby is amazing & very patriotic. He also has a great sense of humor & you won't find funnier videos. Fpr some laughs, check out 'As good as I once was' & 'Trailerhood'', 'How do you like me now' & another couple prettier, serious songs, that he still manages to make the video funny anyway. Great talent.

I will never forget the guys I served with when we had to deploy. Saddly we did it so often during the early 2000's that many of the husbands and dads said it was getting easy.

A great song you should react to (if you haven't already) is "Private Malone." Amazing song. Love the reaction bro ❤

Great song. Emotional.

Hi Recky! This song always gets me. I feel like I need to recognize my family members. My great grandpas were service men. Grandpas too, one a medic and one brought bits of Normandy back with him to dangerous to remove. My Uncles, on both my dad's and mom's side. One a medic earning the purple heart and coming home a paraplegic. MY DADDY, MY HERO, served in Nam. Things to this day he will not repeat. He was hit with Agent Orange, nightmares, certain loud noises make him jump, and waking him is a story in itself. OUR SOLDIERS ARE TRUE HEROES, MEN ABOVE MEN. They have no glory but once a year they MAY get a thank you. Thanks for letting me recognize them!

Rip toby ❤

As an American, I'm very grateful for your comments to this song and Angry American, and your words touch my heart. May I suggest some patriotic songs that I'd enjoy hearing you comments on.....Meet Me At Arlington and Name On A Wall (both by Jimmy Fortune), Travelin Soldier (Home Free), God Bless the USA (Lee Greenwood, Home Free, & The Air Force Singing Sergeants), Ballad of The Green Berets (Sgt Barry Sadler), and going back to the 60's (?), Little Barefoot Boy (Bobby Vinton). Thank you, again. I love hearing your comments.

Family fought all way back since civil war til me and bro that didn't pass the physical back in h.s. early 90's after but hope my nephew continues the military family

We will be there.

Check out "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. The version he does with Home Free and the US AirForce Band is the best in my opinion. 💙

Hin side is every bit as excellent as his serious side....if you haven't already done so, check out As Good As I Once Was and Beer For My Horses.

Great reaction! Try Trace Adkins "Arlington"

I would recommend "Angel Flight" by Radney Foster. This version is the Radio Tower Remix. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZZ5ns1izcConqs.html "Angel Flights are the U.S. Air Force planes (C-130's) used to fly home our Fallen Soldiers. Angel Flight is also their call sign. ... Now, of course, there are other flights that have an even higher priority, but in reference to other standard military flights, for takeoff or landing, Angel Flights are always #1 in the pattern.

You should react to TOBY KEITH'S "LET'S TALK ABOUT ME". YOU WILL LOVE IT! As always Great Reaction!!!

Thx for posting! Sgt D Worstell US Army (Ret) 🇺🇸

RIP toby

Toby Keith is great! He also has a lighter side to his singing..try listening/ reacting to TRAILERHOOD or NOT AS GOOD AS I ONCE WAS... I relate to a lot of his patriotic songs & videos because for most of my adult life, I was a Naval wife ( Gulf war, Dessert Storm era)...prior to that, my father served in the Army ( Korea war era), 1 Uncle that served in WW2 (Normandy) and 4 other Uncles served in Vietnam. My niece is currently in the Airforce and serves at Dover, working with the Thunderbirds. Anyway, I can relate to sending your loved one off at the pier, standing there with your children as the tug boats push the ships away from the pier & out to sea, and all their questions and tears as I tried to hold mine back. It's not an easy life, for anyone or any military family, but we all understand why it is necessary for these sacrifices and we're all so proud of our service members. The cost of freedom is high and we don't take it lightly or for granted.

Five finger death punch ( wrong side of heaven )

Another soldier patriotic song is Tim McGraw - If you're reading this

Thank you for sharing this ❤🤍💙 if you haven't already, you might like The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Recky you should react to Bill Burr motherhood isn't the hardest job! He's one of the best comedians ever! I think you'll love it!

I think you express yourself quite well in English.

Great reaction mate!

Listen to “have you forgotten” by Darryl Worley. It’s about 9/11. Absolutely worth listening to.
