I chose "sweet" only because the choices were so absolutely bogus. Could you SH Clingons come up with something better?
I think what Timberlake found, was that instead of bloated, over paid fakes he's used to surrounding himself with, he found in it's stead, the very representation of honor, courage, integrity, and fidelity.......the best and brightest, from the rocks of the Old Breed to the youngest, highly trained Marine of today. If you've never attended a Marine Corps Ball, you've missed a hallowed ceremony and standing among men who are a breed apart......a special fraternity and a title that stays with you to the grave.
I'm glad he went, and I'm glad it was an eye opening experience for him. I hope it was life transforming.

Remember a few months back when a bunch of marines kept asking celebrities to be their guest for the upcoming Marine Corps Ball? Well, the event was this Saturday in Virginia and one of the celebs actually went -- Mr. Justin Timberlake.
But not only did the singer-turned-actor attend the ball with his date -- Marine Cpl. Kelsey de Santis -- Timberlake wrote on his blog that the event actually changed his life. "I glanced around the room at young men and women, spouses and soldiers...I felt so proud to be there. I felt like I was getting a chance to be among my heroes," Timberlake wrote.
He also added "...To all of you that serve every day for us, ensuring our freedom, I say: my deepest gratitude to you...I've met so many of my heroes...From Michael Jordan to Michael Jackson. And, nothing makes me feel more honor and pride than when I get to meet one of you. Last night changed my life and I will never forget it."
We must say, those are some very kind words. And let's not forget about Timberlake's "Friends With Benefits" co-star Mila Kunis. She'll be attending the next Marine Corps Ball in North Carolina with her own date this coming Friday.

Living in the entertainment industry, it was probably an impressive experience seeing people being authentic compared to fashion conscious chameleons always on the make.
I think Timberlake was very humbled by what he experienced, and thats good because maybe his eyes were opened and he realizes even more than ever the sacrifice and determination that our men and women of our armed forces put into the safety and freedom of our country
sorry. Jealousy came out a bit.
But at what he said...yes yes. sweet.
lucky biatch (but thank you for you service)
ALL of the services, Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines deserve our utmost respect...they protect our freedoms 24/7..365....And their families for giving their children, wives or husbands to this country's protection. It is a high price to pay to protect the freedoms that the ungrateful take for granted.
As for Mila Kunis, does anyone know where that ball in NC is at?!
