Toby Keith's Emotional Salute to a 93-Year-Old War Veteran

That was my dad. He was a WWII and a Korean War veteran. He could have served in Vietnam but he retired the day before his unit got shipped out. He served for 22 faithful years until retiring in 1966. He was the reason why I went into the Army myself. He died while I was in the military and I devoted the rest of my military career to his memory. I love you and miss you, dad. I hoped I made you proud.

That man has the balls of steel! A true American Patriot!!❤❤

My 91 yr old husband is always thankful when anyone thanks him for his service. He was in Korea from Dec 1950 to Jan 1952...He said he had never been so cold. He is from a cold state, too. Thank you Toby Keith ......

When it comes to our AWESOME nation, LOVE IT or LEAVE IT!!!

This is why i am PROUD to be an American!

Rest in paradise Toby, you were truly an American patriot. Such a devastating loss for America and American music

He'd be 99 yrs old today. God Bless you Sir

I don't see how people can dislike this video

I was at this concert I love Toby Keith's music and his Patriotism. Myself being a Veteran this made my night and brought me to tears.

Had to watch this again after Toby Keith's passing. Very moving video. The messages Toby Keith gave us through his music and philanthropy live on. It's a sad time, especially for those in the military whom Toby supported, but to paraphrase General Patton, "We should rejoice that people such as this have lived among us." We must continue to pay tribute to Toby at the very least, by never apologizing for being a patriot, and voting. May God bless Toby's family and friends, and may his memory be a blessing.

I am a vet and when I go to the VA hospital I occasionally get to meet heros like this man. I am humbled by how humble they are. I called one a member of the greatest generation that saved the world at that time, he replied "no we just did what we had to", just like a hero would say. And not knowing his full story I do know this Manilla was a meat grinder, Korea was as well my dad was there and he never said one word about what he went through other than he had his left knee shattered, and in Vietnam the most dangerous job was being on a helicopter crew. So this hero has seen some serious shite, and survived. God Bless Him and America.

Greetings from Scotland !!! 👋 You're a good man Toby, giving this lovely veteran the honour, respect, and recognition he deserves !!!💖👍👏

God Bless to all our American soldiers. Thank You for fighting for our country!

Toby the AMERICAM MAN proud of you for what to stand for.

this video has had 1.6 million views and now i can say mine can be added to the list of others who were here before me..god bless america....

I was 17 years old when we flew in the jungle South Vietnam and turn 18 on the Fall of Saigon 4/30/75 and 42 years later a service officer Vets helping Veterans for the American Legion post 403 Oktaha,Okla. AMERICAN PROUD. SemperFi

People have seemed to have forgotten about our old people. It’s sad, because they are lonely as hell, most are widows, and have nothing to do. Say hi, spark up a conversation, make a friend. They have a lot more to talk about than most of folks today

This is truly, what American is all about ... patriotism n love for your country!! W salute and thank all vets!! Cheers!

Toby Keith is a good man to sing for the veteran's he always loves to sing ❤️ for the veteran's

As the daughter of a WWII/Korean War veteran, I say thank you, Lt. Col. Frizzell & good job, Mr. Keith!
