Toby Keith's daughter says late country music legend told her never apologize for being patriotic

Toby Keith's daughter accepted an honorary degree on his behalf at the University of Oklahoma, sharing his passion and patriotism as his legacy continues to be honored.

"He always said, ‘Never apologize for being patriotic,’ and practiced what he preached through his work with the USO."

"When he learned last fall that he was being inducted to Sooner Nation on this high of a level, he was so excited, and he was so proud," Krystal said during her speech while accepting the degree. 

She continued, "I actually made a joke about how many hours I spent here getting my bachelor’s degree, and he joked that he didn’t have to work that hard to get his. But we all know he earned it and spent many more hours dedicating his life to earning it this way. He loved his family (he loved all of us), God, our country, and Sooner Nation."
