Doing her part to honor her country and those who protect it, Mila Kunis has accepted an invitation to the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina this fall (November 18).

The date comes after Sgt. Scott Moore, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, posted a YouTube video last week asking the 27-year-old to accompany him to the military affair, as he said, "Hi Mila, I just want to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball with yours truly. So take a second to think about it, and get back to me."

During a recent interview with Mila and her "Friends with Benefits" co-star Justin Timberlake, FOX 411 asked the actress if she knew about the invitation, prompting Justin urge the brunette to accept the request, as he explained, "You need to do it for your country!...I'm going to work on this, man. This needs to go down!"

After checking with her publicist, Kunis gladly agreed to the Marine Ball meet-up, telling Timberlake, "I'll go. I'll do it for you," before asking him if he was going to attend as well - in which he responded, "They don't want me! They want you."

The friendly co-stars are currently featured on the cover of Elle magazine, inside which they pose for a house-themed spread.

Adding another magazine cover to her credit, Mila Kunis is front and center for the August 2011 issue of Flare.

The “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” hottie looks lovely in a Lanvin creation and in the accompanying interview, she talks about working with Justin Timberlake on “Friends With Benefits.”

“There wasn’t one day [on set] when I didn’t crack up. Justin has become one of my closest friends. We realized we had the same sense of humor, we got along really well and we had the same opinions on things.”

Mila also noted that she’s looking forward to resting a bit. “I’ve never had honest time off. I’ve always been reading scripts and looking at projects, so come January of next year I’m going to take a solid couple of months off and hopefully go travel. Like, truly travel. Travel and see the world and experience life.”

She also loves getting all gussied up for the red carpet. “I’m a very casual person in real life, so I do find it very fun to be able to have the opportunity to dress up.”
