NEW YORK (AP) - Scarlett Johansson is back from the Persian Gulf, including Kuwait.
And, she's brought a lot of soldiers' trinkets as souvenirs.
She spent five days visiting with about 3,500 men and women from the U.S. military as part of her first USO tour.
Johansson says everybody she met there was, as she puts it, "so incredibly friendly and polite and genuine and generous. They were so, so sweet. I mean, I was just amazed."
Johansson says some people ripped patches off their jackets as gifts. One Marine offered his Saint Christopher medal. Another starstruck guy gushed: "You made my whole deployment!"
And now that she's back home, she's deflecting rumors she's engaged to her boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, by joking she's engaged to Barack Obama.
