Toby Keith's American Soldier is an inspiring song about the life of an American Soldier. It starts off saying how the soldier is simply trying to take care of his family, trying to make sure that they are happy. He then talks about how he isn't a soldier for the money, or the glory, of the fame, but because it is his duty as an American to protect his country and his family, because he knows that "freedom don't come free." An interesting thing I found in this video is how it keeps flashing back to the Civil War. It is saying that the American soldier we know today is not any different than the American soldier 150 years ago. They are just as brave, just as courageous, and they deserve the same amount of respect and love.
This song shows the patriotism that we all should share when speaking of our troops. They are making sacrifices to make sure that we have a place we can call home, a place where we can feel safe in, a place where we can feel free. But we don't. We don't share the love, devotion, patriotism towards our troops like we should, like they deserve. They are sacrificing their lives, their families, to make sure that complete strangers are happy. American soldiers are the heroes of this country, and we could never give them enough to repay them for everything they have given us.
