Scarlett
Johansson to Entertain U.S. Troops in the Gulf
1/18/08
Actress Scarlett Johansson will travel to the Persian Gulf to entertain
members of the U.S. armed forces.
The Lost In Translation star plans to tour the region for five days,
during which time she'll visit military installations, greet fans, sign
autographs and meet the troops.
Johansson's visit is part of the United Service Organizations' Army
Welfare Recreation entertainment tour.
The 23-year-old says, "This USO tour to the Gulf region truly
means a lot.
I've wanted to go over and visit for some time, and now my moment has
arrived.
"It's one thing to reply to a letter or extend your thanks to
service members in a speech, but it's another thing to visit them and
spend time with those that do so much for us back home."
