    Toby's father really did lose his eye while in the service. Toby wrote this song after the world Trade Centers were hit on 9/11/2001, but only performed the song for the troops while visiting them. Some of the soldiers pushed him to record and release the song to the general public. He still performs for and supports our military. Great Reaction.

He had shrapnel from a mortar go through his arms and legs and the blast rupturing an eardrum. He was airlifted to a MASH unit and then spent a month in a hospital in Osaka.. Most of his medical was received at the VA and they supplied his hearing aids because it was service connected but he had to pay his own dental too.
    I heard an interview with Toby Keith saying he never intended to record this song, it was just something he played at the USO shows. After a big shoe in Iraq, he met Donald Rumsfield and Rumsfield told him he should definitely record it and that was when he started to consider it.

It’s a family thing. I heard a guy call in in the radio, after 911. He was from the Dixie south. He said “those the terrorist hit might be damn Yankees to us, but they are our Yankees and we won’t tolerate anyone hurtin’ them. Someone’s about to get their ass kicked by us.” And by golly, he was exactly right. Like Toby said, “Don’t rattle this dogs cage”. We are not called the United States for nothing.

      You would think that the world would have learned that particular lesson after 12/7/1941. And for the most part, they did. Unfortunately, there’s always going to be some assholes who forget that lesson and have to be taught it the hard way.

    This came out right after 9/11 (which happens to be my bday). I was blessed to see him preform this live on his first tour after writing this ... Ive been to sooooo many concerts and have never in my life felt such huge vibe and total togetherness happening in that stadium. Moment I will never forget. Especially on my birthday.
