I know SSG Owens, USMC. His wife is a member of The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps.

The Military really IS a small world.

America Supports You: Star-Struck Marines Meet, Greet Celebrities

By John J. Kruzel American Forces Press Service

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2007 – Bristling with childlike excitement, 6-foot-4-inch Marine Sgt. James Bane escorted his comedy hero Lewis Black down the red carpet leading to the Town Hall Theater here last night.

Bane and Black were in town for "Stand Up for Heroes," a comedy and music benefit organized by the Bob Woodruff Family Fund to raise money for injured servicemembers.

When Black was corralled by television cameras and reporters requesting interviews, Bane could no longer contain his giddiness.

“Lewis Black is one of my favorite comedians, and the fact that he introduced me to Robin Williams, who’s one of my other favorite comedians, is amazing,” he told American Forces Press Service.

“Seriously, in Iraq the DVDs I had were one of Lewis Black’s and one of Robin Williams on Broadway,” he said.

“We listened to that … constantly in Iraq,” interjected Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel Hurst. Hurst was turret gunner in the unit Bane led in Anbar province.

In a slight Tennessee drawl, Bane continued, “Comedy really lightens the mood. It keeps our mind off what we’re doing when we have down time.

“They didn’t even know it,” he said, motioning to his comedy idols Black and Williams standing just feet away, “but we had their support when we were in Iraq listening to their comedy.

The rest of the story
