After coming across a touching YouTube
video, Taylor Swift reached out to the family of a U.S. Marine who died in
Afghanistan during combat on Friday.
The "Safe & Sound" singer sent
flowers and a note to Sergeant Wade Wilson's family after watching the video
posted by the Sergent's best friend, Corporal Josh Marreel, who starts the video
by saying, "Alright, so this is a shout out to the one and only Taylor
Swift."
The soldier continues, "I know you have
no idea who I am but this video isn't about me. This is about a good buddy, Sgt.
Wade D. Wilson, who was killed in action Friday, May 11, 2012 in Afghanistan."
Mr. Marreel adds, “Anybody that knew Willy personally knew that he worshiped
you. He even slept with a poster of you in between our beds in
Afghanistan."
Josh Marreel then asks Taylor to "think
about him," and personally invites her to Wilson's funeral services in
Texas.After seeing the video, Ms. Swift responded with flowers and a note that
reads, “Wade, thank you for loving my music. I won’t forget it and I will never
forget you. All my love, Taylor Swift."
