In Toby Keith's own words (June
3-4, 2004)...
"It’s all appreciation for us. We’ll shake every hand we can and meet every person we can, and if nothing else, leave them with a little piece of Americana . . . Mostly, I just enjoy seeing the glow on people’s faces.
Their hearts shine a big light up
through their eyes and smiles. For a brief time, they can
forget about their day-to-day problems out here . . . God
Bless them all! That’s why we’re here; to show our
appreciation."
"Toby Keith has
always been there for the troops . . . and truly exemplifies love
and pride of our great country. Thank you Toby Keith for being
the patriot you are . . . leading by example." David Bancroft, USA Patriotism! founder (February 2009)
