As he promised, recording artist/actor Justin Timberlake attended the Instructor Battalion Marine Corps Ball on Saturday.
In response to combat instructor Kelsey De Santis' invitation via YouTube, Timberlake attended the ball as De Santi's date back in July:
On his website, Timberlake wrote, "What I didn't know was how moved I would be by the whole experience.
She [De Santis] seemed to me to be so humble and honest... Very cool. She also simultaneously seemed like she was nervous about the whole evening and if I was going to enjoy myself. 'Are you ok?' she asked 2 or 3 times. "I hope you are having fun. I know you will once my crew of friends get here to the table.' 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."
The ball was held in Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Va.
