He loved his family (he loved all of us), God, our country, and Sooner Nation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThroughout his life and career, he made sure to work hard to have the best, to be the best. He often said, \u2018They may write better than me, they may sing better than me, and they may look better than me, but they will NEVER outwork me,\u2019\u201d Krystal said during her speech. \u201cAnd that made all the difference. He was a larger-than-life legend, he was an icon, he did things his own way, his songs inspired nearly everyone in country music and beyond.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The country music legend\u2019s daughter also discussed how proud her father was to be an American, a value he passed to his children. \u201cHe always said, \u2018Never apologize for being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/patriotism\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">patriotic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u2019 and practiced what he preached through his work with the USO [United Service Organizations],\u201d Krystal said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She also described his dedication to performing for the military. \u201cHe was going into the most dangerous zones, where guys that never got those entertainers to come to them, were housed and were sitting, and he would go and boost their morale. And that\u2019s who he wanted to go see. We called him Captain America. And that\u2019s something he earned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712242396228000&#038;usg=AOvVaw3WzjrNXCr1KblP2z8dS_jB\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy dad taught me everything: singing, writing songs and \u2026 most of what I know about life. And I hope the graduates that are here today can learn from him, too. He fought hard to live his dream,\u201d Krystal said in conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe had faith and believed in himself. He never gave up the fight, even when the odds were against him. He would want me to tell you to never give up on yourself. As you start your next journey in life, know that you have strong roots here at the University of Oklahoma. Work hard and be the captain of your own ship. Believe in yourself and live your dream.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keith was also posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame after being selected for the honor days before his death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late country singer Toby Keith \u2019s daughter, Krystal Keith, delivered remarks at the University of Oklahoma \u2019s commencement ceremony last week while accepting an honorary degree on his behalf.
