Very impressive.
It was very good. Yes, more in show business need to acknowledge these fine men and women. I’m glad to see Timberlake accepted the youtube invite. It sounds like he got much more out of it than he ever expected. Nice to see his article today.
There was a time...in the days of Bob Hope and the USO tours, the entertainment of the troops and the vistis to the front lines by celebrities was enthusaistically supported and expected. It still means as much to them as it ever did.
My son is a Marine in Oki. I asked him how the Marine Ball went. He said it was like the High School prom all over again.
He was never one for many words. LOL.
Say what you will about his music, but JT is one talented guy. What a good guy...
Seems a Marine made an excellent choice.
His date, winning an MMA fight: http://bcove.me/cl9143p9
Justin may turn out alright after all.
Those who have never spent a day in the uniform of their country will NEVER begin to comprehend the special lifetime bond that exists between servicemen and women for each other and for this country. It can’t be explained in words, songs, movies or anything else.
Even though, as a Vietname veteran, I was treated like crap by my country when I came back, the bond with those in my squadron is as close as it ever was. And, for me, I’m glad that I did it. It’s an experience that I will never forget.
NOTE - PLEASE!! Before you thank me for my service - DON’T. It means nothing to me. I am just too emotionally scarred by the treatment I got afterward to care. I don’t speak for any other Vietnam vet but myself. Others appreciate your thanks and I appreciate you thanking them.
I believe he has matured over the last 5 years and is actually starting to show signs of being a conservative.
Its worth going to his site to read the whole thing. It’s a very well written and heartfelt piece.
Justin is a class act. Who’da thunk it?
Great post - thanks.
