    I spent 31 years of my adult life wearing a US Army uniform. I spent the majority of that 31 years living in foreign countries constantly being asked about America's pride and arrogance in flag and country, because, yes, we are fanatic about it. We fight among ourselves, push and shove, and call each other names, and we make stupid decisions a lot of the time, but let some bully from outside the American family push any member of the family, and the wrath of God would descend upon them. I could go on and on...but, don't worry Millie, I'll bet everyone watching this reaction was tearing up also...including this 80 year old man. God bless both of you.

      My father spent 3 years in the U.S. navy and another 26 in the U.S. army. He couldn't find a job after college and the navy wanted him to start over as a seaman recruit. The army gave him credit for his 3 years of service during WWII plus 2 years of credit for his 4 years of college. He entered the army as a corporal just in time to be sent to Korea. He also served in Vietnam in 1965-66 and retired out of the Presidio in San Francisco in 1968. I am proud of his service to our country and proud to be his daughter.
      I miss you, Dad.

I’m not a pessimist, but the world has a history of going to war with itself. China seeks power, and the U.S. is in the way. I have a blessed life, and I am ready to fight for my country to keep it. Thanks though. As I love history, and I love our country, I invest my time in political events on the global scale, WWIII is just another theatre of my studies. It would be foolish of you to not study the possibility of WWIII. Do you think society has evolved since 1945? It hasn’t. Governments can still commit genocide, and war crimes are still committed. I want to be ready just in case this does occur. Turning a blind eye to war doesn’t make its possibilities go away. Hey man, I appreciate your concern for my personal life, but I’m managing just fine. I’m a straight A student, who can think for himself, and come to logical conclusions. Take care buddy. Just remember that freedom is NOT free. This is something I’m willing to fight and die for if necessary. God bless the United States of America. E Pluribus Unum. Out of many, one.

All the soldiers that died at D-Day, men who still hair downy peach fuzz on their cheeks. The lives people sacrificed so that I can sit here in a country of freedom and for the most part peace. We, as humanity, need to remember to love each other at the end of the day. This song and its message: doesn't matter what country you're from, I'd die to defend and protect you and your children. ♥

We watched helplessly through our television sets as 3,000 fellow American’s went down with those towers. We became crazed with a rabid kind of hurt and anger and this song capsulated the sense of vengeance and accountability that we craved back then. I joined the military because of it.

Saw him live once and after each song, he raised his drink in a toast “This goes to those who serve day and night, whether here or overseas, but more importantly, to those who are no longer with us.” Every. Song. He repeated that toast, as if he dedicated each song and performance to them.

    Here's a little back story for you regarding this song. When Toby was asked about it he replied that when 9/11 happened he wrote down his feelings at the time and was also thinking about how his father might have felt. This how the song came about. He performed it for the military members but never had any intentions of actually releasing it publicly as it was very personal to him. A commander at one of the bases told him he had to release it as it was needed. Because of this Toby released it. Ironically when our 4th of July rolled around he was supposed to perform at one of the celebrations that was sponsored by a major TV network here. A well know news anchor who was hosting the show (who interestingly enough was Canadian) asked Toby to remove the line "with a boot up your a$$" from the song. Toby refused and the network rescinded their invitation for him to perform.

    As a Army Vet, I want to thank you for your support of the military. It means a lot to me. I have seen to many people who hate the military and automatically have a bad opinion of me when they find out that I served. I means a lot to know that the sacrifice that one of my friends made is appreciated. Thank you both. If you are ever in Tennessee, you will be welcome in my home.

    Thank you for reacting to this song. It's definitely one of my favorites. While I never served, I'm from a long line of service members and I lived on or near base in my younger years so this song definitely hits a special chord with me especially with it coming out after 9-11 in response to that attack on our country and her people.

    He wrote this song, and sing this song for the military members. He only played it before military crowds because he wrote it for them. But he been asked by so many of them to please release it please. Finally, after so many people begged for him to release it, he released it to the public and that's why you see so much of the military in the video. It's because he videotaped the concerts what he's saying it for them.

    You definitely have to do Ray Charles' version of "America the Beautiful." My dad's a Vietnam vet and it's the only patriotic song that makes him cry. Seeing him tear up always starts me bawling because he says that version is the one that most reminds him of the friends he lost in the war and that it's soulful rendition is beautifully appropriate to respect the lives lost. Just a gorgeous version that will more than likely bring tears to your eyes as well.

    I love this song, but it makes me tear up every single time. I'm a U.S. Army vet, and while I got out in Dec. of 1998, a lot of my friends stayed in and re-enlisted. Quite a few went overseas after 9/11. And one of my dearest friends didn't come back, leaving a wife and a 6-month-old baby boy. It's hard being a soldier, but sometimes it's harder being a soldier's family.
