Sgt. Drew Reese-Howells is being brave. He's been brave before - he's been to war as a soldier in the Utah National Guard. But asking a woman out on a date takes a different kind of brave, especially when that woman is pop star Katy Perry.
Sgt. Reese-Howells is a not only a soldier and a big fan of Katy Perry, but he is also a singer in the army band. They actually perform two of Perry's songs. Later this month is the military ball, and Reese-Howells would love to do those two songs - with Katy Perry. So, he invited her to be his date after he saw her latest music video where Perry dresses up as a Marine.
"I figured she would probably understand what veterans and soldiers are going through," Reese-Howells said .
Sgt. Reese-Howells isn't just inviting Perry to meet a celebrity, he's doing it to raise awareness for something close to his heart.
