Fun Fact: Toby Kieth was originally not going to record the song and just sing it at live events for military personnel. However, the troops liked it so much that the highest ranking officer of the Marines told him he should record the song, even that it was his duty as an American citizen to do so. He told him if Kieth wanted to contribute to the War in Afghanistan (remember this wasn't long after 9/11), recording this song was how he could do it. Just kind of adds another layer to the song, really.

Amen, and if we turn away from God, God will turn away from us.

I’ve heard the song a million times but I’ve never seen this video, wow it gives me chills!! It’s crazy to me that there’s a whole generation that wasn’t even alive when 9/11 happened, just like there are generations that weren’t live during the holocaust. Our son has never known a world in which we weren’t at war post 9/11. I was just 13 miles from the Air Force base it was rumored the President was being flown to, my mom called me and wanted me to make the 2 hour drive home just in case the base was a target. I was in college and had just moved a couple weeks prior.

I'm 50% Scottish, then English, Sweden and Denmark born in America. 73 years 100% American. Thank you for caring and respecting what we've been through!

I wish all Americans had this mentality. God Bless You.

Had to pump the volume to 100!!! Tears a flowing, this is a great song for that response to 9/11.

I admire your spirit and patriotism and your obvious love of America! My late husband who was a US Army veteran would go crazy when we would play this in the car, loud and with the windows open! Don Father you are so patriotic and I love your reaction to this song and I love that you appreciate America!! Love you!!!!!

Thank You so much you get us. I’m 73 and still stand every time I here the National Anthem even when I’m at home. I Love My Country.

My friend, you're an honorary American after that wonderful reaction. Cheers mate !

Was so happy you didn't stop and comment during the song. So many others,always interrupt several times and especially the part at "you'll be sorry that you messed with, the red, white and blue".....

The year Toby made this I saw him in concert. Best. Concert. Ever! He ended his concert with this song. There were fireworks and red, white, and blue confetti at the end. So moving, I cried! Love Toby Keith! Love that you are so supportive!

This is probably the best reaction video for this song of all the ones I've seen. I love seeing how foreigners (non Americans) react to patriotic American music. They've all said pretty much the same thing..."Americans go CRAZY for patriotism and patriotic songs like this one." They're damn right. We love our freedom and we're not afraid to show it (or shout it from the rooftops). You wanna make a room full of patriotism-crazy Americans go ballistic... play this song. It works every single time. USA! USA! USA!

This really was the feeling and spirt in the US after 9/11

Right now, more than ever, true Americans need to remember how we felt and when Toby released this song. Because we are under attack again. And to be completely honest I am more concerned about this enemy than the enemy being talked about in this song. I was in the Marines during that time, Unafraid and ready, because "they" didn't matter who just f#cked up. Let us show you who you just picked a fight with. That's how we felt. But after 20 years of weakness and my own government and culture beating down patriotism, masculinity, self pride, and pushing this division and woke narrative.... and seeing with my own eyes our strong powerful military caving to it. I am almost lost for words. The flag does fly at my home. Right above our front door shortly before the welcome mat. Just beyond that you will find Patriots who grew up in the real America. Who served and continue to serve our country and community to this very day. Thank you for this song I needed it.

Love that song as well. And yes I know exactly where I was when the world stopped turning. I remember almost the whole day and the feelings I had.

Our family served our country in the Air Force for 29 years along with my son and both fathers before us. We were actually sent to the UK for 3 of those years. I can tell you we love you Brits and your friendship. Our media often wants to report the most controversial opinions and happenings. But we loved being there, the people, your country and your support and enthusiasm. Sad to say Toby Keith lost his battle with cancer a couple weeks ago, but not before he blessed us with this wonderful patriotic song. He visited our troops in foreign war zones and kept their moral going. If you get to see the video of this song by VEVO (I think) it shows Toby Keith singing for the troops and their enthusiastic response. What a blessing he has been for us all!

Such a powerful song!! Brings huge pride in being an American!! Love the patriotism!

As a member of a family that can trace it's roots back to before the founding of this country and has had family in every conflict and family currently serving this song really brings emotions to the forefront. Proud to be an American and will never apologize for that.

We realized these wars really happened to line the pockets of the Bush Admins business partners? The reality is, we never needed to invade Afghanistan to get those responsible for 9/11. Iraq had literally nothing to do with it. But hey! Lets invade anyway. Add to that if the people there didn't hate us then, they most certainly hate us now. I mean how do you expect some kid that was ten when a "collateral damage" bomb levelled his home killing his whole family to react? Do you expect him to realize "oh its for the good of my country?" No, he was probably setting up IED's on US patrol routes within 5 years... I got sold the lie and joined the Army shortly after the invasion of Iraq. At the time I joined I was blasting Toby Keith songs and ready to go fuck up some terrorists. Over the course of my enlistment I grew a brain.

I get all that, people felt like we had to do something. But in the end the results of actions in Iraq were not positive overall. Many veterans died or came out physically and mentally scared.(for what? To show the world we were serious?(not serious to know what we were doing or to plan ahead how to rebuild) to handle the anger we all felt?Many Iraqis died. It facilitated the rise of ISIS through instability and sectarian violence. The Iraq war was mismanaged. We were Lied to by the administration to get us to enter the war, no WMD’s, many iraqis dead, our veterans, trillions basically wasted. This song makes me think of an unthinking willingness to go along with those times. It’s a complex feeling and a complex time and I think this song(although capturing the feeling of a moment) does not capture much depth.

I was in a usual patriotic state of mind when I first heard Toby Keith sing Courtesy of the Red White and Blue. His music is motivational there's such strength in his music. He sincerely means what he says. I'm a big fan God Bless America and God bless Toby Keith!

The stealth bombers did a low fly over of my city on the way to Afghanistan and the earth literally moved. I was so glad that wasn’t coming to get me
