\nToby Keith honored 20 years since the attacks of 9\/11 by encouraging fans to „never forget“ the tragic day. The 60-year-old musician shared a video Saturday on Twitter. „On the 20th anniversary of 9\/11, let’s all gather our families together and pray that God will keep us safe for the rest of our lives and forever here in the great United States of America,“ Keith said in the video. „We all know where we were during 9\/11 and the impact that it had on this world. Let’s never forget. Always remember. Let’s stay vigilant and never apologize for being patriotic. God speed.“ Keith is known for his song „Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,“ which he wrote in the days after the Twin Towers fell in 2001. „I was sitting out there, just a few days after the Towers came down,“ Keith recalled, according to TheBoot.com. „I was working out in the gym, and I heard these talking heads say, \u2018Well, I guess we could bomb them. That would be so the American way, and I was like, \u2019What just happened to us? Are we supposed to just stand by and let this happen? Could we not be mad as hell about this?'“ „I wrote [‚Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue‘] on the back of a Fantasy Football sheet that was laying there; I just turned it and wrote around the edges and, in about 20 minutes, wrote the lyric out and called it \u2018The Angry American.\u2019 When I turned it in, they said, \u2018Well, it really doesn\u2019t say „angry American“ in there. Why don\u2019t you call it \u2019Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue?‘ So, I did.“<\/p>\n
