Subject: FW: Brooks Army Medical Center and Denzle 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.
