Don't know whether you heard about this but I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. 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 housing units on fort, but as you can imagine, they are filled most of the time. When Sweetie was under going an expiremental double bone marrow/stem cell transplant for her second dance with old Mr. Cancer I was fortunate to have stayed there for a week of her 8 week inpatient treatment. Getting a room in the inn was just about impossible so as I had no children with me I ended up staying in their dump of a BOQ but still I was happy for it.
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.
My question 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 tip of the cap to Denzel.
