00:04.230 --> 00:07.280
Yeah , most entertainers are known for

00:07.280 --> 00:09.280
putting on a concert for the troops

00:09.280 --> 00:11.336
when they visit down range . But for

00:11.336 --> 00:13.447
singer and songwriter Toby keith it's

00:13.447 --> 00:15.502
about helping break up the routine .

00:15.502 --> 00:17.613
They go through this grindstone every

00:17.613 --> 00:20.970
day there on the fire and tremendous

00:21.090 --> 00:23.690
workloads trying to accomplish their

00:23.690 --> 00:27.600
goals and so when we show up it changes

00:27.600 --> 00:29.711
that for a little while and we try to

00:29.711 --> 00:32.044
put smiles on their faces and and the U .

00:32.044 --> 00:35.720
S . Works hand in hand with our , with

00:35.720 --> 00:37.910
what we do . The men and women of the

00:37.910 --> 00:40.077
military aren't the only ones that are

00:40.077 --> 00:42.243
changed by the tour . It's affected me

00:42.243 --> 00:44.299
directly to where this now becomes .

00:44.940 --> 00:48.400
Yeah , even if my career at home , if

00:48.400 --> 00:51.640
it was to ever hit the shore and be

00:51.640 --> 00:54.130
done I would still find ways to come to

00:54.130 --> 00:56.370
this is part of my lifestyle while

00:56.370 --> 00:58.314
visiting all the different forward

00:58.314 --> 01:00.370
operating bases . Toby keith had one

01:00.370 --> 01:02.592
message that he wanted to make sure all

01:02.592 --> 01:04.703
the troops received , we try to put a

01:04.703 --> 01:06.814
smile on their face , make them laugh

01:06.814 --> 01:09.140
and just let them know that there are

01:09.150 --> 01:11.690
people in America that most of people

01:11.690 --> 01:13.690
in America support them , no matter

01:13.690 --> 01:15.912
where they are . After all the pictures

01:15.912 --> 01:17.746
were taken an autograph signed .

01:18.340 --> 01:22.130
It was about putting on a show for the

01:22.140 --> 01:22.730
troops .

01:28.540 --> 01:29.950
No mm

01:37.880 --> 01:40.830
what is this ? The first year I

01:40.840 --> 01:43.080
realized that I say see you all next

01:43.080 --> 01:45.136
year at the end of my military shows

01:45.136 --> 01:47.358
because I know we're coming somewhere .

01:47.358 --> 01:49.413
So for some troops the song struck a

01:49.413 --> 01:51.469
chord . It pumps me up , it makes me

01:51.469 --> 01:54.160
proud soldier while for others it meant

01:54.160 --> 01:56.271
something a little more personal when

01:56.271 --> 01:58.271
he's saying should've been a cowboy

01:58.271 --> 02:00.493
because that's a special song to me and

02:00.493 --> 02:02.716
my mom . While the concert only last an

02:02.716 --> 02:04.882
hour and Toby keith was in the country

02:04.882 --> 02:06.716
for only a few days , 15 pops he

02:06.716 --> 02:08.827
visited and the thousands of pictures

02:08.827 --> 02:11.049
you took with service members will last

02:11.049 --> 02:13.160
a lifetime Air Force Staff Sergeant ,

02:13.160 --> 02:14.938
Jeff Saints for bagram Airfield

02:14.938 --> 02:15.050
Afghanistan .
