You can say a lot of things about Justin Timberlake, but make sure one of them isn’t that the former N*SYNC star doesn’t bleed red, white and blue!

Back in July, the 30-year-old accepted a YouTube invitation to escort Cpl. Kelsey De Santis’ to her Marine Corp Ball and this weekend he made good on his promise.

JT took to his official website to blog about his experience:

[My date] 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.

I felt so proud to be there. I felt like I was getting a chance to be among my heroes. It’s funny too because a lot of them are SO younger than me.

Ooh-rah!
