I'm noticing a lot of different families outside of the US are reacting to this song recently. We were angry Americans when this song was written - we just lost 3000 citizens in an unprovoked attack and those troops in the video were in Afghanistan. The lyrics resonated with every citizen at the time. We were sucker punched and we did light them up like the 4th of July. Make sure to research songs origins to better understand WHY they were written.

This of course came out shortly after 9-11-01. I think he's had multiple trips overseas as part of the USO. This was originally only played for us troops overseas and we requested him to release it on an album since our family members thought we were a little crazy. He wrote this as a tribute to his late father that passed away right before the terrorist attacks on 9-11 as a thank you to his father's service and those in combat zones.

After all of those years in the army saying they were glad to be there because they did a lot of good for the Iraqi people when they were there because they put in clean water pipes because the people there had rickets and all kinds of bone disease problems. SAD!! Most of the soldiers that I talk to enjoy their time over there in the Marines weren’t too thrilled because they had to go over there and they were combat engineer so their job was to find explosives. The reserve unit here are combat engineers in the army reserves, hairdo, something entirely different. After 10 years in the military, that is one neat thing, and that is that they have jobs just like everybody else, but some jobs are dirtier than others.

Toby Keith has provided more than 250,000 troops with a touch of home through performances in 17 countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan, and several ships at sea. That was nearly 300 shows from Afghanistan to Cuba, Djibouti, Guam, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan and points in between. The USO presented him with its Spirit of the USO Award. A really good guy and fellow Oklahoman, he was out of circulation most of last year battling stomach cancer, but has been seen at some of his Oklahoma Sooner sports venues so seems to be much better now.

Many of us felt a vulnerability we had never experienced before. But with the bad came some amazing things. A citizenry more united than ever and a resolve unbreakable. They may have blackened our eye but we came back and lit them up like the forth of July. A rally cry for the American people at a much needed time.

I completely remember 9-11 I was standing in my living room as I watched the second airliner hit the second tower. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, we sent firefighters across the country to assist the brave NYPD and NYFD. I was serving with my local sheriff's office, when I got to work that afternoon I was greeted by a deputy sheriff with his K-9 to search us officers before we entered the jails. The entire jail system was on complete lock down, all doors secured not an inmate moving. I supervised the inmates making meals in the jail kitchen with only 3 of the normal 28 inmates available for duty!! I had inmates asking if Sheriff Joe Arpaio would release them to serve in our military, he did release non violent offenders to our military with a promise that if they served their enlistment honorably their criminal records would be expunged and he held up his promise!! The jail was so quiet you could hear a pin drop and we housed 2,000 inmates!!!

I like viewing this song as a compliment to "Where were you when the world stopped turning" by Alan Jackson. Both about 9/11, but taking different approaches. This song represents the anger people felt, manifesting in a desire for destruction, retribution, and revenge. The Alan Jackson song, on the other hand, is the more sad and contemplative feelings people felt which made you want to be a better person and live a better life because you realized how precious it was. And the thing is that most people probably felt both and would identify with both songs, as difficult as that may be to understand.

Toby does a lot of work with the USO entertaining troops all over the world. Founded during World War II, the USO sought to be the GI's "home away from home" and began a tradition of entertaining the troops and providing social facilities. Involvement in the USO was one of the many ways in which the nation had come together to support the war effort, with nearly 1.5 million people having volunteered their services in some way. The USO initially disbanded in 1947, but was revived in 1950 for the Korean War, after which it continued, also providing peacetime services. During the Vietnam War, USO social facilities ("USOs") were sometimes located in combat zones. Toby is currently battling stomach cancer.

When my son was stationed in Iraq during Iraqi Freedom, The Charlie Daniels band came to their camp. Joe was on duty so he didn't get to the concert but Charlie and the band came by the hangar where Joe and his squad were working and spent a good half an hour with them, posed for photos and the whole shebang. It meant a great deal to the guys. Remembering how we felt at that time, as Joe's loved ones, although I hadn't heard it at the time, I can well imagine how we'd have loved this song back then. I had a great-nephew there at the time, as well but he was never in a forward area. Joe, otoh, was a tank repairman and he's a slight guy, but superquick. Even though he was the squad leader, when they timed each guy's speed at getting out of their tank and hooking up to a damaged tank with chains and getting back inside their tank, Joe was fastest. He admitted that he did that job most often as he felt it was his duty as the fastest guy. Fortunately, we didn't know that until he was safely home. I can't imagine knowing that when he was over there. He always talked about working in the hangar and so in my Pollyanna mom way, I had this silly little picture of him like the Mr Fixit guy, safely in his hangar waiting for the tanks to be brought to him. As it was, when I learned about this, even though he was safely home by then, I lost a good bit of sleep over it, I can assure you! I remember asking questions about it. like, "So, were there like people shooting at you when you did that?" "Oh, no, mom. Because the tanks always broke down in nice secure places." (Rotten sarcastic kid.)

The entertainments for the troops is typically put on by USO. The oldest memories I recall were with Bob Hope & many others. The USO travels everywhere in the world for the troops. Bob Hope once said the performances would occur in either inactive zones or where lulls in the war were apparent but that there were times when fighting would break out and the shows would go on as long as it appeared safe. As Toby said in the beginning there men & women dying so we could rest peacefully in our beds. Entertaining the troops is the least we can do. Those that go out to entertain the troops have done so without pay.

This song is about the USA response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks as well as a tribute to his father who died in March of 2001 in a car accident. His father was a Vietnam Veteran who was proud of his country. Toby Keith really looked up to his father and wanted to honor him and his service to this country. Toby Keith never actually served in the military but is very supportive of the US Military. At first Toby Keith didn't intend to record this song on a CD but the commandant of the Marine Corps persuaded Toby to record this song. What finally persuaded him to record it was so that it can be played for the military troops when he wasn't there to sing it for them. He wanted to initially keep the song for just the troops but people ended up hearing it and loved it. People wanted to be able to listen to it when ever they want to so he finally released it to the public as well.

I’m American and I can’t hear this song even today without crying. I’m also from Oklahoma one town over from where Toby grew up and still lives. He wrote this song in response to 911 and you don’t realize what it meant to us over here in helping us heal after that horrible day. ❤️🇺🇸

After 9/11 the Queen had our national anthem played. I watched people from the UK crying for America and while I was crying for my country it brought me comfort.

I wish y’all had the context of why the song was written before you watched this. 9/11 was horrific. Some Americans lost so much, and many more Americans were afraid or angry. I believe there are some videos made explaining what happened on 9/11 that are worth a watch to help understand happened that day.

The black and white pics ar the veginning are his Dad while he served.... He tours with the USO and visits our troops in many places... we have many performers who volunteer their time to go out and entertain the troops....He is an inspiration and puts life to feelings many of us feel and cant put into words....he's one of our treasures .....prayers for him as he goes through his health battle. ❤❤❤

It really should be our National Anthem. This brilliant musician has entertained our troops for years. He has been fighting stomach cancer. I’ve spoken with him. He’s hanging in there. He mentioned all our national symbols in this song. (The eagle, the freedom bell, the Statue of Liberty and “Old Glory,” our flag.) ♥️💕♥️

Glad to see you reacting to a great American singer, filming many scenes overseas in combat zones. I wish you'd all hop on a plane and come visit the States, preferably a southern State like Texas. It'd open your eyes to what this is all about and you'd get to have some mighty-fine food in the process! Come visit us sometime, you won't regret it! As a Veteran, I never saw Toby Keith while he was on tour, but we all rocked his songs regardless. Take care, and have an awesome day over there in the UK!

Toby Keith has a rather extensive catalog of patriotic music. His work with the USO is a great way to relieve a bit of stress for our troops deployed and a way to remind them what they are fighting for and that despite the garbage that gets put on the news Americans support them and are truly thankful for their service. I wish we had a USO stop on board when I was in the Navy.

Toby Keith does a lot of shows for the United Services Organization (USO) and travels around to do shows for the troops. This is his answer to the 9/11 attacks, originally titled, The Angry American.

As an American, I feel the same way as Toby! I tear up when I drive down a street and flags are waving on both sides of the street. We're in a political slump right now, but as soon as we get Biden/Harris out of office...we'll be back better than ever...IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY! We don't bow down and we don't give up!!!

I don't think people understand what it means to be American. When 9/11 happened, my grandma kept me home from school. I was about 12 or 13. Very few are actively patriotic but when something bad happens, we are truly the United States of America (gives me chills). I wasn't patriotic, but I remember shedding tears for that event; it's almost innate. I'm 34 now, I've had phases of anti-patriotism, and I've come full circle. Our country isn't perfect, but we have a strong foundation built on sound values and good people. Just like I'd happily help my neighbor, I'd happily help any human who needs help. Call it a hero complex if you want, but you should always do the right thing, even at the expense of your own happiness.

Watching your reaction to this now makes me the Angry American. My husband is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. I spent time counseling victims and families of 9-11 at the Pentagon. I worked with military members as they were leaving for the Gulf War not knowing if they'd be coming home alive. This song summed up all the emotions we were feeling then and was such a needed way for these soldiers to express what they felt. You're reaction to our tragedy is callous and hurtful as you laugh through a very painful time.
