PATRIOTISM from the Rich and Famous

Denzel Washington, and Brook Army Medical Center, San Antonio Texas

:arrow: Media Missed this one!!!!
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 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 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! GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM

Because he is NOT evidently on the HOT list or he has a very poor P.R. Rep.

Beside the press is too busy pointing fingers at places they can shame or blame without offering solutions.

Thank you Amber!

Thanks for sharing the story - and a lot of great pictures, Amber.

I really like the guy - believable as a first-rate stand-up character in the Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts.

Thanks.

Regards,
Keith

Because he's one of the very few who's not doing it for personal recognition. It's obviously something that he believes in.

Great story Amber.
