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 oversees 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 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.
A true American and friend to all in uniform!

This took place about 2 years ago. It was not 'accidentally missed. Mr. Washington did not wish it to be known. He stated that the 'troops' were important, no he.

Mr. Washington spends a LOT of time with wounded troops and does everything he can to keep that a private matter. He spends that time because he believes it is the right thing to do. He does not do it for publicity.

How refreshing is that?

By the way, my nephew was there at the time, that is how I know this.

Mr. Washington is one of the few "Hollywood" types I would like to meet, just to say thank you.
