<\/strong>Toby Keith<\/font><\/a> got a lot of grief over writing this song. It was written after the 9-11 incident, and helps us remember that there are men dying so we can sleep at peace each night.

Some people refer to this song as the \u201cunofficial\u201d national anthem.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font>This song has become a classic fireworks songs for Independence Day<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong>The song tells the story of a soldier that has passed on, and his wishes on how he’d like to be remembered, and where he’d like to be buried. <\/p>\n
