Admin Toby Keith Visits Troops In Afghanistan

April 25th, 2008 by Admin

Toby Keith recently visited troops in Afghanistan. This is what? The umpteenth time he's gone out of his way to play free concerts for troops? God bless Toby Keith and all he does to entertain the troops. In my opinion, he's this generation's Bob Hope! These pictures were sent to me by my buddy, 1SG John Morales, currently deployed to Afghanistan. Thanks buddy.

    My hat's off to Toby for his efforts.

    Hey, wait … is that a naked woman I see reflected in Toby's sunglasses?

    CF,,I believe you see soldiers in camo reflected in Mr. Keith's glasses. I will refrain from commenting further on that remark.

    Cool pics and it is wonderful that some celebrities are taking the time to show their support. :)

    I've seen many interviews with TK and he always says it's not about politics its about the guys who are putting themselves out there for all of us back home. He has a very strong belief in this that was instilled in him by his Dad. Many people could take a page from his book and give something back for what is given to them.

    And yes CJ, between TK and Wayne Newton, they are trying to make up for Bob Hope not being here to whip the spoiled rotten creeps in Hollywood into shape. Wayne Newton isn't as high profile as TK but I know he has himself been over there many times and brought back messages for families that he has personally delivered. We need more like them.

  4. TK doesn't do this for money or publicity, he goes out of his way to genuinely pay his respects to the troops. Wish more celebrities would be as genuine as he is when they visit.

    I'm so thankful to Toby for what he does for the troops and anyone else who goes in harm's way to entertain our troops! God Bless him indeed!

    Don't know if any of you know but the FOB that he was on in Kabul was mortared during one of the shows. They all headed for the bunkers and TK signed autographs and I believe took pix with the troops while in there. This was his 6th tour.

    Thank you Toby Keith! My son is currently on the base but he was actually waiting in line for 2 hours to talk to his wife. They don't have many phones there for the troops.

    Morton have you tried your routine at Caroline's??? I'm sure you'd get a bunch of laughs there. It is right that you are not banned here. We do need the entertainment!! Thanks for my laugh for the day.

    My husband has been in Iraq for just over a month now. He had the opportunity to meet Toby Keith at one of his stops. It was great for his moral and that of the other soldiers and I thank Mr Keith for that. They need all the moral boosting they can get!

    Rebecca, please send your husband my best and tell him thanks from the bottom of my heart for the job that he does. And thank YOU for the sacrifice that YOU make for all of us!! You rock!!

    Thanks Toby, you are my favorite and my husband is in Afthanistan and saw you. He said it was so cool. We are in AZ and can't wait to see your resturants. My hasband failed to mention the mortor fire but I heard it on the news. He says they get hit a few times a week. I appreciate you and all you do. They don't have much in Afghanistan and you were a bright spot in their tour. Thanks. Barb

    As a member of the Toby Keith Fan Club, I would like to add we are proud of our men and women in our military, and proud of Toby for representing us in the US who have them in our thoughts and prayers.

    I have two sons that are both in the US Air Force and I am VERY proud of them. I sincerely appreciate the stance that Toby takes on supporting our armed forces and all that he does.

    For the idiot Morton, if you hate the United States of America so much – - then get the hell out of MY country!!

    Toby, thanks again for all that you do!! I can't wait to see you in Charlotte, NC soon!

    My nephew is in Afghanistan and he was shot recently by insurgents. He got to have his pic made with Toby. That really upped his morale. Thank You Mr. Keith for what you do for our soldiers…
