Oh, please have comfort in knowing there are over 16 million living veterans and most I feel believe in the Oath that never dies.

I did 25 years wearing my country's uniform with two deployments in a war zone. While deployed every day is groundhog day. Remember to give thanks and honor the military families that have to carry on on their own while a loved one is deployed. My oath of office never expires

Thank you for reacting to this song, I'm a US Army combat veteran. The war cost me a marriage during my 6 month deployment. After my divorce I volunteered to go back to Afghanistan and Iraq to serve for another 10 years as a Department of Defense employee. I'm retired now from 27 years of total service and still single 😊

I am a 67-year-old army veteran and I will give my life for my country everybody that lives in it freedom is not free and I am willing to pay the ultimate price for that freedom for the people that I love

I’m a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience…thank you for your reaction! I can’t live up to every expectation, nor can anyone…we do our best…

Your reaction is true, genuine and heart-felt. My husband (I did not know him back then) enlisted into military service after HS in 1971 (18). He said he didn't have to enlist, his draft number (during the Vietnam War) was 341, but he says he felt obligated. His Dad was a Navy WWII Veteran and his oldest brother served 2 tours in Vietnam in the US Navy. All of us sign a "blank check" upon oath of enlistment payable by accepting unlimited personal sacrifice - whatever was asked. The only reason he says he left military service was an opportunity to go through the testing/hiring process for police officer in his hometown - which he did get. About 7 yrs after starting his civilian police career we met and were married. He took a 20 yr retirement in 1997. Very much appreciate the job you do.

I’m a 70% permanently disabled veteran and served 25 years of my 56 years of life. From 1986-2011 and I miss it still today

I am a proud to be an American. Thank you for our freedom. Thank you Veterans for your service.❤❤❤❤❤❤

RIP Toby. The sacrifices made by those who serve is humbling and frankly, overwhelming for me to think about. Eternal gratitude isn't enough. Thanks, Francesca, for sharing this with us.

OMG,..There is still someone, on you tube,..who Loves her country,..loves our ideals, and understands the plans our founding fathers had for this wonderful strip of land we are living on.. God Bless you..your "not the only one."

Thank you it's nice to know some Americans actually are grateful for what men like my father did for our country God bless you

Toby was very good to us vets.. RIP TOBY, a true patriot. thanks for the vid!

Love this song. Toby was a great songwriter and singer. On a side note I spent a year at Comiso Sicily while in the service. The island was beautiful and the people were wonderful.

I, as a American veteran, appreciate those who serve and have served. Even those who cycle out for a other than dishonorable discharge take an oath that the individual never rescind's. That patriotism live's in their blood. Veteran's past present and future are proud to have had the opportunity to bear that cross, and will always carry that with them even after discharge for whatever reason other than dishonorable. We may not always agree with the reason's why but we still just do it. We love our country and the people in it and will always stand beside our brothers and sisters in arms to defend the rights and freedoms that men and women have so proudly died for. Thanks to Sir Toby Keith (RIP) for bringing the soldier's voice a bit more clarity.

Rock In Peace Toby Keith

This song makes me tear up. My father and brother both retired from the Army. I had a great uncle serve in Vietnam and my grandfather served in the Navy... RIP Toby

Song chokes me up every time. 🇺🇸

Thank you to all the troops

Imaging serving in the US Army, enlisting straight out of high school and deploying to Afghanistan before turning 19. He came and did an USO and MWR tour across Afghanistan and landed in Helmand Providence which was a Taliban stronghold through the US war there. He cared about the troops so much he faced the same things we did to bring us joy and happiness, as well as, a little bit of home to our troops while fighting. I was stationed at FOB Leatherneck where I got to watch him perform this song live in 2012. It was definitely a moral booster for us.

PLEASE TEACH YOUR KIDS THIS. THAT'S ALL I ASK THXS DEAR. We do this this for YOU

Song brings tears to my eyes every time!

Out of the 4 children my parents had two became Educators and 2 of us served 20 years in the Military, our parents taught us Service before Self

Your kind words to dedicacite veterans are greatly appreciated yet completely unnecessary. Thank you. 💞

Was with the US Army First Armored Division Artillery. In Nurumberg West Germany from Apr. 1987 to Jul. 89. As a Matter today the 12 th marks 34 years. Since leaving West Germany. The Collapse of the Soviet Iron Curtain has Fallen. Mission accomplished.

We need more teachers like you

Aussie combat vet l served in a rapid reaction regiment,24/7 standby 4hrs to be wheels up gone to places we never went to do things that were never done.never knew when the call would come & Yes l’d do it again without thinking 🇦🇺🇺🇸

I am from a long line of US MARINES, my dad served 3 tours in Vietnam. His first tour was when Vietnam was classified as police actions in 60. At one time they only classified Vietnam war , from 68 to 75 as the war and from 58 to 68 were police actions, they have reclassified it now because there was just as much fight there , we just didn’t have a large ground force. My brother served in the marines from 84 to 91, I served from 86 to 92 marines, and our youngest brother served army for 4 years 89 to93

Just stumbled on this reaction video. I’m glad you enjoyed it and understand the message that Toby Keith was conveying. Although not music videos, you might want to review two videos based upon the rescue of Jessica Buchanan. One video is by CBS News; Jessica provides some of the voiceover. The other video by Brothers in Arms tells the story from the vantage point of the Navy SEALs. Both videos highlight the selflessness of our military’s special operators.

It was also hard for a sailor in the US Navy to say goodbye to their love ones when they are deployed aboard ship.

I appreciate all my veteran brothers.

37 years ago my BROTHER did not make it back from VIETNAM he was 20YEARS old I was 9YEARS old 🌹WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🌹THANK YOU 🇺🇸

Good job young lady.

Coffey Anderson "Mr Red, White and Blue".

That's the reason I joined and I'd gladly do it all again in a heartbeat!! You are very welcome 👍

Sometimes I wish we could go back to when people wrote letters to each other. I really miss writing a pen pal in school, we wrote to people a few states over and I just remember how nice it was to see how she would decorate the letter and waiting for a week for something made me really focus on what she had to say. Kids today miss out on that and it’s a shame. They have no patience at all. If they had to wait a week for a reply they would totally forget about it. I’m 36 now and I’m not sure if anyone still writes friends but I wish I could find a nice woman who enjoys writing letters or maybe like a email pen pal would be neat. I dunno why I wrote that im sure most people don’t like writing letters to a stranger just to be friends, but I dunno maybe I’ll find one some day.

Your very welcome

I was a military wife for 21 years

my wife and I are veterans she is and Air Force veteran and I am an Army veteran

This old vet loved your reaction to this song. This song always hits hard for me. There are very few songs that hit me like this one. Maybe FFDP, wrong side of heaven and gone away ( considering I exist under a VA homeless program for vets) thank you for your reactions.

She’s back 👏🏼 love the puppers in the back sleeping. Great reaction

Grazie per la reazione così sentita e per aver scelto un video eccezionale per una canzone fantastica.

Yes the queen is back

R.I.P. Toby Keith. 😢

You're very welcome, Francesca. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

I'm retired Air Force.

You guys have to make these videos LOUDER.

Very rarely do men join the Service because it's just something to do. Men are born to protect and they do this. It's called toxic masculinity these days. We've not been through a World War in our time so true men have never been needed like this. When tough times come, men will shine and protect us.

I am curious of the other reasons people enlist that do not deserve the same respect. POVERTY. Pease explain.
