Denzel Washington

In case you missed this, it didn't make the front pages,
what a surprise!!!
Subject: Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops
at Brook Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio, Texas the other day. This is where
soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States,
especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called "Fisher
Houses". The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or
no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these
houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher
Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book
out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the
spot.1 The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this
story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear
it.
The question I have is why does
,
,
,

Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types
make front page news with their anti-everything America trash and Denzel
Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any
newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio?
A true American and friend to all in uniform!
1Editor's note: While Mr.
Washington did not actually write a check on the
spot, he did make a sizeable donation to Fisher House several months after his visit to
BAMC. Read more on this story at

Thank you Mr. Washington, we salute you!
