QUANTICO — Justin Timberlake followed through on a promise to take a Marine from Quantico to her unit's annual ball.

The singer and actor posted a photo along with a letter on his website Sunday that the Marine Corps Ball was "one of the most moving evenings I've ever had."

Cpl. Kelsey De Santis had invited Timberlake through a YouTube video to Saturday night's event and Timberlake accepted. Timberlake wore a tuxedo to the ball at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. De Santis, a combat instructor at Quantico Marine Corps base, wore her dress blues.

Timberlake's "Friends With Benefits" co-star, Mila Kunis, earlier this year accepted a similar invitation to a Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, N.C.
