Back in April we got to see an amazingly fun video of a group of US Military marines stationed in Afghanistan performing their version of Britney Spears‘s single Hold It Against Me. In May we learned that Britney made plans to meet with these marines here at home in the US to personally thank them for making their fun video. This weekend, in Las Vegas, LV, Britney made good on her promise and met with the HIAM marines backstage before she performed her concert there Saturday night … and she shared the group photo on her official Twitter profile.
So honored to meet the marines of HMLA-169 “Vipers” who made that amazing HIAM video. -Britney
Awww … what a great photo … and what a nice way to bring the whole Marines Love Britney thing full circle. After this group of marines decided to send Britney love with their performance video, she returns the favor by personally thanking them in person at one of her shows. I love this so much! It’s so great to see these brave marines home, safe and sound. Something tells me that our dear Britney can count on calling these marines life long fans ;)

Super rad of her to do this..however…they are Marines-not soldiers. =)
Good picture!I love you Britney!
THIS IS AWESOME! That parady was hysterical. I love Brit so much.
I heard that the marines were reprimanded by their superiors for that video. Does anyone know if there’s any truth to it? I hope not! Or if they did get reprimanded, I hope it wasn’t severe enough to damage their career progression or rank.
Awww I loved that video!! I’m glad she made good on her promise to them!!
So awesome… I LOVE(D) that video!! :)
Marines are NOT soldiers. Marines are Marines. It’s incredibly disrespectful to call a Marine a soldier.
I’m so glad those Marines made it home safe and sound! It’s good to know that celebrities take time to remember real heroes who put their life on the line for all of us!
this makes me like her just a little more…
