Toby Keith's Message About Patriotism Hits Hard On July 4th

Toby Keith's message about patriotism rings even truer on the 4th of July.

Our great Independence Day is an opportunity to celebrate the beautiful country we all call home, and it's an awesome excuse to boast about our greatness and drink a few cold beers along the way.

Unfortunately, there are many people in the USA who seem to hate this country. It's mind-boggling and makes no sense to me.

You'll find me dead before you find me trashing the USA. You know who felt the same way? Toby Keith.

Toby Keith shared a very patriotic message in 2023.

The country music legend, who passed away earlier this year, took to the stage in July 2023 as he battled stomach cancer, and he had a simple message to share with the people in the audience.

"Never apologize for being patriotic! F*ck 'em," the "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" singer told people in attendance at his show in Oklahoma last summer.

I really don't know what to tell you if that video doesn't make you want to crack a beer immediately and raise a toast to the flag and the USA! God bless America, and have a great 4th of July!
