♥ Can we just take a second to appreciate that a British soldier is wishing Americans a happy Independence Day by reacting to Toby Keith's American Soldier? Things like this restore my faith in humanity. ♥
I hope you understand that when he said "standing with my brothers and sisters" not only is he talking about fellow Americans but brothers and sister that stand with the US. Thank you for standing with them.
I'm an immigrant in America who's 3 sons were born and raised in America, and now all three are serving in in American military. 2 are marines and one air force. I'm proud of my country and son's who serve it. USA!!!
Thank you for your service to the British armed forces and acknowledging our 4th of July. I salute you sir!🇺🇸🇬🇧 Toby Keith is am amazing patriot and supporter of our armed forces. I pray for healing from his battle with stomach cancer.
Hey young man, I'm a father of a American soldier. The year my son served in Afghanistan was hell on my wife and myself. Every knock on the door, and the phone calls in the middle the night. Our hart's would stop.yes sir young man you need to talk to mom and pop. Thank you for your service. Here in Texas I fly a American flag every day of the year.
I hear you, I feel you. My dad was in the AF for 23 years. I remember watching him get on planes and going to temporary duties,not knowing if he was coming home.
24 years U.S. Army. Vietnam at 19, commissioned after college. Married my high school sweetheart, who waited for me a lot. Proud to have been a Soldier!
As an American my self I'd like to say with every thing in me THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!, AMERICAN AND ROYAL MILITARY, thank you for paying the same price as the American soldier standing strong side by side through ever war I salute 🫡 🫡 🫡 you all!! 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Brothers forever!! all of you are REAL LEGENDS THE LOT OF YOU!! again thank you!! 💯 👍 👌 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
My Dad was in the British Army during WWII. He was on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, Sword Beach. He is 99 now, had just turned 19 then. My son was in the US Army deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you for your Service.
The line in the song that gets me every time is "I don't want to die for you, but if dying is asked of me, I'll bear that cross with honor. 'Cause freedom don't come free."
My son's friend from high school died serving these United States at the age of 21. He was his single father's only child, only son. Still heartbreaking after nearly 10 years. Prayers for his father who has been battling his own war - stage 4 cancer for the second time.
God Bless every person who serves their country!!! Freedom is not free and very fragile and can be gone in a minute..God Bless the U.S.A. # America Strong
Our American Soldiers and Our British Allied Soldiers are the Guardians at the Gate. Thank You to All of the Veterans and Those Who are still serving. ❤ 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤
RIP to one of the most humble, genuine, and patriotic gentlemen that this world is a little bit darker without him now.. A true legend that we’ll never forget and will forever love and hold a special place in our hearts.. We miss you Toby Keith & we will love you forever ❤🤍💙🇺🇸🦅 🫡🕊️😇🙏🏻
Thank you, Craig, for your service in Afghanistan. You saw first hand as a combat medic. We and your family are proud of you. Thanks for the July 4th shout out. My family and I are doing rib eye steaks, baked potato, corn on the cob with watermelon and cheesecake for dessert. Yum. I can hear the fireworks shooting off by the neighbors outside.
Toby Keith is the son of a vet. His father taught him and his brother and sister to respect veterans. There isn’t a song he has written that I don’t like. He definitely knows how to tug at the heart strings.
Even with the division within our country because of politics, I choose to set the garbage at the curb and celebrate being an American every day! Not just on the holidays! We are better than the squabbling and back stabbing that we have shown. I wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July.
@@chrismorin1318 most of us aren't divided, social media and the press only covering the negative makes it seem like that sometimes. Proud to be here. Proud of those past and present that serve(d), including our allies.
I am the spouse of a retired Canadian Veteran, who's done his time and I can't watch this video without having more than tears. Cry through the whole thing as I picture the wife driving the husband as I've done quite a few times. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing as I've said it so many times before that now I can't say it anymore or I break down. Toby Keith came to Canada in Sudbury Ontario, near my home town and when he sang 'American Soldier', he switched the words to 'Canadian Soldier' and my husband stood up and saluted him whilst in the crowd and when Toby turned his guitar, there was a Canadian flag in the back of it. Tore our hearts out and made the crowd go wild. Thank you for reacting to this video and thank you for your service as well. :) Love from Canada
I would imagine there's no time for emotional talk when you're deployed to a war...you would have to be and stay strong and focused. God bless all of our military at home and abroad 🙏
Again thank you for your service in the British military. Britain is a great allie of America. We appreciate the support your military gives when called upon. Much respect to all American, British, and all our Allie soldiers across the world. Without you all our countries would not have the great democracies and freedoms they do. God bless you all and keep you all safe.
Way late to the comments here. I'm a US Navy vet who served briefly w/British Army in Iraq. US & UK are brothers in peace, brothers in war. Respects from across the pond - Brother!
My husband retired 6 years ago. 21 years of service and 3 deployments. Our daughter was 2 years old the first time, 8 the second time, 11 the final time. This and Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue were played a lot. Both helped me remember why they do what they do, and shored me up when he was gone months at a time. Thank you for your service.
We are going to make you an honorary American citizen! I come from a huge military family from the Revolutionary to the present. We are a grateful nation and fly our flag with pride - so many died for it. It breaks my heart that you do not get the love and respect you deserve from your country. Much respect for you sir!
Army Veteran honor to work along side the British Soldiers and see Toby Keith in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Thank you Toby for alway making time for the military and veterans. RIP...
I served in the US Army after I was medically discharged I worked for the Utah national guard as a security specialist I seen so many deployments so many homecomings and I can tell you this from experience it's hard on the soldiers and a very hard on the families emotions are on the high during those times so for all those who are serving or have served thank you for your service
It's 43 minuites passed 9/11 in my time line... songs like this mean so much to me..Toby is my hero with songs about our patriotism. My parents raised me to respect our country.. I hope I've instilled that in my 5 children.
No one better than Toby to express the love we feel for our country. As the daughter of my father, who was in the Army Air Corp in WWII, taught me when you accept the freedom America give us we also accept the responsibilities that come with it. Freedom isn't free and we all have to pay our dues.
I think it’s easier for the deployer than the family staying at home because when you deploy you know when you’re safe and when you may not be. But back home they can only imagine the worst is happening to you all the time. Proud to have served with Brits in both Iraq and the Stan. The Tommies were always great!
Yeah, I know wha'cha mean.... I was never boots on the ground, because they wouldn't let girls go to combat zones, in those days. I worked in Intelligence, and deployed right after we bombed Gaadafi (sp?), and so we needed to bulk-up our defense, overseas, and I was MAJORLY focused, because I knew the importance of the task, at hand. Are you still in the medical field, Craig? Thankyou, so much, for serving; thankyou for your pride, in serving; and, thankyou for your thoughtfulness, in reacting to this, today!! ❤️
Every verse in this song is truth. I remember walking into the back of the C-130 heading to my 1st tour in Iraq like it was yesterday. So many emotions running through me.
My husband is very proud to have served. Yes, we fly our flag everyday. My husband was deployed for 4 months, it could of easily been a year or more but the mission changed. Saying goodbye was one of hardest thing Ive ever had to go through. God Bless you, and all our service men and women 🙏 ❤
You may not be an "American" Soldier but for being a Soldier - I thank You for your Service regardless ♡ Thank You for being so willing to put Your life to Serve & Protect Others 💕💞💖🥰🤩😍❤️❣️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🎉🎇✨
Toby can make you cry, and he can make you laugh. He writes his own music & produces it himself, so no one can influence how he does it with their rules. I know you've checked out a few of his videos & there are so many more to discover. 'Trailerhood' & 'How do you like me now'?' & 'I love this bar' are just a few of his fun ones. Then he has more love songs like' It's a little too late' & 'You shouldn't kiss me like that' which are beautiful, but if you get the official video's you will also get your laughs. Toby has no problem making a fool of himself for a laugh. I am praying he finishes his Cancer treatment & recovers completely. We need this man.
So appreciative of those who have served and are serving. God bless all who have given unselfishly for freedom for the rest of us. A wonderful heartfelt song from Toby Keith. Praying for his full recovery from his cancer. God bless him! Thank you for the reaction. I throughly enjoyed it on this Independence Day in America.
I'm from The Netherlands and I still get emotional and teared up when I hear this. My grandpa served proud during WW2 (never wanted tot alk about the horrific things he experienced, but always proud & humble during Dutch Memorial day (May 4th) and Liberation Day (May 5th) celebrations. Unfortunately He passed away 6 years ago but every year on Memorial day I remember my granddad proud
Toby Keith is the best .. Sitting here listening to the booms from neighbors fireworks.. Toby went over seas to preform for our troops more then any other country singer, since the old USO shows went over.
I have 3 sons also. They have all served in the Army and retire with 26, 25 and 22 years in service. My husband also served in the Army. Now our grandson is a West Point graduate serving now. My father also served ( in the Navy) but we forgive for that choice. The boys pick at him about that. He does get a kick from that. So service is in our blood. It’s nice to here how people appreciate the military now!
The way you described being deployed is exactly the same feeling I had and never been able to describe it as succinctly as you just did. In the zone and mission on your mind. My wife watched me go off and I feel she may have been more afraid than I was. Thank you for your service, sir! 🫡 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
I don't know about more afraid than you but it's a lost at sea feeling. Especially if you have children with your soldier/marine/sailor/pilot. My first husband was a Marine and his first of 3 combat deployments (where he was badly injured) I was pregnant then had our son to raise the following two, for 9-12 months at a time. Not to diminish their experiences, at all, but speaking just as a former military wife, they're given training and debriefings for their deployments. The families aren't, and yes, I can guarantee you with every ring of the doorbell, their heart jumped. With every phone call was the Elation of it possibly being you tempered by fear of who else it might be calling. I hope you did get to ask them and that it brought all of you even closer. ❤
While my time spent in the service of my country was all in the USN this song still hits home for me. Soldiers are found only in the US army but what this song describes is what every member of our armed forces is willing to do for our home and country.
Your country is an extension of your home, being proud is not only acceptable it should be expected. Protecting it should be an honor and privilege and expressing that through patriotism should be celebrated... but we Americans are called arrogant for doing so.
Great reactions always brother another really good one John Michael Montgomery letters from home you might want to have some tissues ready for that one
Toby Keith is truly the best!!!! Keep him and his family in prayers, he’s battling stomach cancer!!! Thank you for your videos and recognizing America and our patriotism especially Toby Keith’s!! Your reaction videos are very respectful and genuine!
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being proud of your country! Everyone should be proud of their country, ready to defend it! Why wouldn't or shouldn't you be? If you can't be proud then maybe there's a problem, reason to change some things. Every citizen should be absolutely PROUD of their country in general!! As an American with family members and friends who have fought and served for my country and my freedoms, I will forever be grateful and honor them for their service!! You can label me whatever you'd like but I know who I am and what I stand for! Thank you for this reaction. I hope more people around the world start standing up for their fellow countrymen/women!!
This song so resonates with me. I had only been married to my husband for a month when he deployed. He came home safe and sound but passed away from cancer 3 months ago. He was so kind and I miss him terribly.
I am a veteran myself and like you I was focused on the mission until a week later when I experienced something that found me crying and thinking only of my family back home
Pride in your own country and it's people is a great thing! I'm sorry you guys don't get thanked for what you do! I've commented it before but it can't be said enough, thank for your service!
My all-time favorite Toby Keith song! Thank you for your kind remarks about America. We do get a little carried away here with our flags and other patriotic decorations, but I never apologize for that. We love our country, even with all its faults. I know you love yours too, so fly that British flag in your room if not outside! :)
have you heard LETTERS FROM HOME? it’s a beautiful song. i appreciate your admiration of the patriotism Americans collectively possess. it reminds me to be grateful to live where i live.
Thank you for doing this song. It was hard to watch your face as you look like you were going to tear up and were remembering things I wish you hadn’t seen. My favorite line in the song is I can’t call in sick on Monday when the weekends been too strong. The Master Chief on my ship said we couldn’t even call in dead. This reaction was a beautiful trauma. 🥲

America is sad today as we mourn the loss of Toby Keith following his passing from his related stomach cancer issues.

This comment hits hard… RIP Toby❤️😞
Yes, they did...unfortunately Toby passed away on February 5, 2024 of the stomach cancer he has been fighting. Blessings to his family ....RIP, Toby.
So glad to have you Brits on our side. Thanks for your service.
The line in the song that gets me every time is "I don't want to die for you, but if dying is asked of me, I'll bear that cross with honor. 'Cause freedom don't come free."
Makes me dry every time. Military brat here.
Me too-get goosebumps every time
My son's friend from high school died serving these United States at the age of 21. He was his single father's only child, only son. Still heartbreaking after nearly 10 years. Prayers for his father who has been battling his own war - stage 4 cancer for the second time.
🙏
WOW, back in the day, they wouldn't let an "only child", serve---especially, not an "only son"!!!
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Tears.
God Bless every person who serves their country!!! Freedom is not free and very fragile and can be gone in a minute..God Bless the U.S.A. # America Strong

Can we get a few prayers for Toby, he's battling Cancer and could use all of our good thoughts and wishes....thanks.
Thank you, Craig, for your service in Afghanistan. You saw first hand as a combat medic. We and your family are proud of you. Thanks for the July 4th shout out. My family and I are doing rib eye steaks, baked potato, corn on the cob with watermelon and cheesecake for dessert. Yum. I can hear the fireworks shooting off by the neighbors outside.

Yeah, the fireworks kept me awake, last night---and, they're goin'-off, again, right now!

Again thank you for your service in the British military.

Without you all our countries would not have the great democracies and freedoms they do. God bless you all and keep you all safe.
Amazing song! I'm not British but THANK YOU for your service. I wish the British people would say it to you. Until then we Americans gladly tell you.
From an American thank you for standing for your country and loved ones

I bet he's thinking of his father when he sings this song 💕 his family and his country
Army Veteran honor to work along side the British Soldiers and see Toby Keith in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Thank you Toby for alway making time for the military and veterans. RIP...
From one service member to another I salute you.
I agree with your comment about Toby Keith truly believing and feeling every patriotic song he sings.
I served in the US Army after I was medically discharged I worked for the Utah national guard as a security specialist I seen so many deployments so many homecomings and I can tell you this from experience it's hard on the soldiers and a very hard on the families emotions are on the high during those times so for all those who are serving or have served thank you for your service
America is blessed to have your country as allies God bless your soldiers

The best soldier is the ones that have something to lose. As a son of a Vietnam veteran and I to a Desert Storm veteran I thank you for your service.
Toby Keith speaks the truth that's why he's so powerful in his songs
You are an American in your heart and we are proud of you.
God, I love Toby Keith,. He hits me right in the heart! Toby is from Oklahoma, American pride runs in his blood!
I think it’s easier for the deployer than the family staying at home because when you deploy you know when you’re safe and when you may not be. But back home they can only imagine the worst is happening to you all the time.
Proud to have served with Brits in both Iraq and the Stan. The Tommies were always great!
From one veteran, to another: Thankyou for your service, Ma'am or Sir!!
You are correct because Toby is a true patriot
Thank YOU for your service as a soldier too! I’m American who is old enough to understand we are all the same! Love your reaction! 🥰
Yeah, I know wha'cha mean.... I was never boots on the ground, because they wouldn't let girls go to combat zones, in those days.

🇺🇲🦅 love this song! American Soldier 🪖 ✌❤🎶 It is an honor to hear him sing his songs. And he feels pride in singing them. Please pray for Toby Keith 💕
Your country is an extension of your home, being proud is not only acceptable it should be expected. Protecting it should be an honor and privilege and expressing that through patriotism should be celebrated... but we Americans are called arrogant for doing so.
Thank you for your service. The UK are the greatest friends we have today. #USA
Thank you so much for your service. You fought for us as well. ❤
Great reactions always brother another really good one John Michael Montgomery letters from home you might want to have some tissues ready for that one
Rest in peace Toby. You were a true American.
Toby Keith is truly the best!!!! Keep him and his family in prayers, he’s battling stomach cancer!!! Thank you for your videos and recognizing America and our patriotism especially Toby Keith’s!! Your reaction videos are very respectful and genuine!
I've lived this life as a military spouse... I totally relate to this song it brings tears to my eyes every time
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being proud of your country! Everyone should be proud of their country, ready to defend it! Why wouldn't or shouldn't you be? If you can't be proud then maybe there's a problem, reason to change some things. Every citizen should be absolutely PROUD of their country in general!!
As an American with family members and friends who have fought and served for my country and my freedoms, I will forever be grateful and honor them for their service!! You can label me whatever you'd like but I know who I am and what I stand for! Thank you for this reaction. I hope more people around the world start standing up for their fellow countrymen/women!!
This song so resonates with me. I had only been married to my husband for a month when he deployed. He came home safe and sound but passed away from cancer 3 months ago. He was so kind and I miss him terribly.
RIP TOBY Keith. Never forget
I am a veteran myself and like you I was focused on the mission until a week later when I experienced something that found me crying and thinking only of my family back home
Thank you for your service and respect for ours.
The Ballad of the Green Berets by Barry Sadler is a great song for Independence Day.
It is The Ballad of the Green Berets
@@madogthefirst Thank you, I corrected my comment. I felt something was wrong when I did it but I failed to look up the title
I agree about being able to be proud. The soldiers have my heart for what they do ..
My boyfriend is a soldier so this song is touching and meaningful.. 🥺 I‘m most proud of my boyfriend ❤
Agree with everything you said!
We Deploy , for the fight. We Do Not, Give Up.
Toby is an amazing artist and he is definitely a patriot. I love all of his music, but this song is one of my favorites. Love the reaction to it!
Pride in your own country and it's people is a great thing! I'm sorry you guys don't get thanked for what you do!
I've commented it before but it can't be said enough, thank for your service!
My all-time favorite Toby Keith song! Thank you for your kind remarks about America. We do get a little carried away here with our flags and other patriotic decorations, but I never apologize for that. We love our country, even with all its faults. I know you love yours too, so fly that British flag in your room if not outside! :)
have you heard LETTERS FROM HOME? it’s a beautiful song.
i appreciate your admiration of the patriotism Americans collectively possess. it reminds me to be grateful to live where i live.
Thank you again Sir for your service.
THANK A VET FOR YOUR FREEDOM
Thank you for doing this song. It was hard to watch your face as you look like you were going to tear up and were remembering things I wish you hadn’t seen. My favorite line in the song is I can’t call in sick on Monday when the weekends been too strong. The Master Chief on my ship said we couldn’t even call in dead. This reaction was a beautiful trauma. 🥲
