People who watched the show could not stop talking about it online. One fan said that Riley is the perfect person to keep this kind of music alive. Another viewer wrote that they felt tears when the whole crowd started singing along.
Toby Keith wrote this song in 2002. He was very sad and angry after the 9/11 attacks and the loss of his father. His father was a soldier who lost an eye while serving in the Army. Toby did not even want to sell the song at first. He only wanted to play it for the troops. A commander told him it was his duty to record it for everyone to hear.
