Subject: Brooks Army Medical Center and Denzel Washington

�

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas �(BAMC) �the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims. �They have 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 completely 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 I have is why does Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America crap and this doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the base newspaper in San Antonio.

There were a bunch of pictures that accompanied this, but I don't know how to post them here. They showed Denzel Washington touring the hospital and in the Fisher House. I have always liked the man. I like him a lot more now.
