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 Brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, (BAMC) the other day. Thisis 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 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 checkbook 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 fluffmake front page news with their ridiculous antics, and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metrosection of any newspaper except the
local newspaper in San Antonio !?


Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window of your local movie theater with $10 in your hand.

Because that is how the world works, unfortunately.

Respect to Denzel Washington, he has always been one of my favourite actors in Hollywood.
