Justin Timberlake Keeps His Promise, Writes Moving Letter About Attending Marine Corps Ball- With Video

On Saturday, the 30-year-old singer-actor attended the Marine Corps Ball with Corporal Kelsey De Santis in Richmond, VA.

He wrote on his website that the event “turned out to be one of the most moving evenings I’ve ever had.”

As for De Santis? “She seemed to be so humble and honest… Very cool,” he wrote. “She also simultaneously seemed like she was nervous about the whole evening and if I was going to enjoy myself…I have to tell you, it’s not every day that I meet a 23 year old girl and she’s more worried about if I’m having fun or if I’m comfortable! It hit me all of a sudden that these were the type of people that look after us and our freedom… Humble, concerned for others before themselves… This was the type of person our Marine Corps was building. I was really blown away.”

A video montage of Pearl Harbor, World War II and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks “almost brought [Timberlake] to tears.” He wrote that it was “a surreal moment to be in that room with so many of our great Marines who have such a different type of connection to those stories.”

How did Timberlake end up at the ball? In July, his Friends with Benefits costar Mila Kunis was first invited to the Nov. 18 Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, NC by Sergeant Scott Moore.

Justin Timberlake’s Hottest Video in my opinion – The boy is alright in my book:

    This is awesome. – I didn’t like this guy for a long time, but he has my respect now. What a good guy.

    This guy has always been a pretty decent fellow. Not my type of music though

    He always seemed like a good guy, never tried to hog the tabloid section and hasn’t been in and out of legal/drugs/alcohol problems that I have ever heard. Not a big fan of the music, although he is a good actor. Nice to see someone in Hollywood with respect and decency for a chnge.

    It is great that he followed through with his comittment. It is refreshing to see, Marines give back to him about love of the Corps, our heritage, love of Country. Since Timberlake is in Hollywood, I hope he will spread that messsage.
