Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center
Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window of your local
movie theater with $ in your hand.
The Media (Accidentally?) Missed this one!!!!
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his
family visited the troops at Brooks Army Medical Center , in San Antonio
, Texas (BAMC) 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. 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 is - why do:
Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise and other
Hollywood fluff make front page news with their ridiculous antics 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!
