Krystal Keith Reflects on Father's USO Tours

Krystal Keith, daughter of late country music star Toby Keith, reflected on her father's protective nature regarding his USO tours, which he deemed too dangerous for her to accompany him. Despite her pleas to join him on these tours to entertain troops, Toby insisted on keeping her safe, citing the real dangers he faced, including mortar fire during performances in war zones like Afghanistan. Krystal recounted a specific incident in 2008 when Toby had to take cover in a bunker due to incoming mortar fire while performing for soldiers. She expressed her admiration for her father's dedication to the troops, noting he performed despite the risks involved. While Toby allowed Krystal to perform with him in safer environments, he drew a firm line when it came to the perilous nature of USO tours. Ultimately, Toby Keith's commitment to supporting the military was evident, but his fatherly instinct to protect his daughter prevailed.
