This song, always brings me to tears every time. My best friend served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He was lucky enough to watch you perform during one of his tours. I will never forget him telling me how he bawled like a baby hearing this song live. It was one of the highlights of his career. He was injured overseas and developed an infection he spent a month in a hospital overseas recovering and he had only been home 2 nights and on the third day he passed away the infection had spread unknowingly to the pericardium, which is the sack around your heart. No doubt all of the American soldiers were awaiting your arrival at the pearly gates to give you a much deserved heroes welcome. I hope you knew what you meant to the armed forces serving overseas.

I am an ex. army soldier. Spouse is a retired bomb builder. We don’t regret what we have done. We did it to defend all of us. We both came out of strong servicemen that came from our families to defend World War 2. My grandfather was on the beach at Normandy. Infantry, my father in law was a tank mechanic. We both wish we could have these two men back just to hear their story. We seem to be repeating what they were willing to give their lives for.

Just a random guy from the UK here. To my US friends, you've lost an icon. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best. Toby Keith was the sound of my time in the US. I can compartmentalise that part of my life, but I didn't think I'd have to do it so soon for an artist... ...but that's nothing compared to the sacrifices our (combined) Armed Forces and their families have made. I just know they're all enjoying a few beers and keeping the seats warm for when we join them. It'd be rude to join a table without a cold one. Best, Sk901

I served for 12 years as an Army Ranger , thank you to a Legend .Now our son does ,Army all the way , I’m 56 and would do it again tommorrow 🇺🇸

My father was only 19 when he was sent to Luzon in the Philippines during WWII. He returned thin, worn and changed. Back then, you didn't have PTSD, you just sucked it up and kept going. Haunted by what he had done and seen, he turned to drink. When I was born, he was a full-fledged alcoholic, abuser and chronically unemployed. He died of liver failure at only 34 years of age. I still carry the broken bones and scars he gave me, as well as the mental and emotional scars. Flash forward twenty years, Vietnam and then Desert Storm. Against my family's wishes, I joined the military and It was my turn to face the limits of my humanity and courage. I too killed, and cried and lay awake at night staring into the darkness. I could have easily become him, but I managed to hold onto myself through the love of others and the faith and loyalty of my comrades. I was one of the lucky ones. Do I hate my father for what he became? No. Not anymore. Many in WWII were killed, and many others broken beyond repair. It took me facing the same horror and conflict that he experienced for me to understand. While I may never be able to love you Dad, at least now, I understand you. Rest in peace, your namesake (your Grandson), would have made you proud.

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

My husband is an Army Ranger. He spent several years in the 80's in Special Forces. Like his Dad, who landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day, serving the greatest country in the world was an Honor and a Privilege.

TOBY DID THIS FOR THE AMERICAN MILITARY, THE SHEEP DOGS IN OUR COUNTRY. RIP TOBY FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR MILITARY BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTOOD US, THE SHEEP DOGS. In this world there are sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn’t exist in the world. If there were ever danger on their doorsteps, they wouldn’t know how to protect themselves . Those are the sheep. And then you’ve got predators, who use violence to prey on the weak. Those are wolves. And then there are those who were blessed with the gift of aggression, with an overpowering need to protect the flock. These people are the rare breed who live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdogs.
