Remember this next time you walk up to
the ticket window of your local movie
theater with $10 in your hand.
The Media (accidentally?) missed this one!
Please read this: The troops overseas would
like you to send it to everybody you know.

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. 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 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 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 !?

Thank you Denzel!

I just talked to my stepson who's a Bird Col in the AF about this. He is a doctor and a pilot and he said this is not the first time Denzel has done this. A very generous and caring man.

A big thanks to Denzel, GAry and how about Toby Keith? He's been over there several times with shows since even the 1st Gulf war!

I'm sometimes surprised by how many patriots there are in the entertainment business.

I wish they would be less under the radar. I'm reasonably sure there are more of them that we do not know about because they don't want to be ostracized by the majority who are leftists and loud.

Very good for him. Wish the news would show this myself. They don't care about it. Just about showing all the violence and disasters they can. Pathetic I know.
