Patriotism & Denzel Washington

The Media Missed this one!


Subject: Denzel Washington, and

Brook 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.


The question I have is why does:


Brad Pitt

Madonna,


Tom Cruise
and

other Hollywood fluff


make front page news with their ridiculous
antics
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!



This needs as wide a distribution
as we
can create.

GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL

FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM

  2. Hey Mel! Great post! Indeed, it is puzzling, however there must be an explanation...perhaps most people in the media are against the war in Iraque, and think that Denzel's showing his support to the military (thus showing his patriotism) is the same as supporting the war (I don't know)!
    If it is the case, well it's just silly...like it or not, the soldiers deserve the nation's support cause after all they do give their life for it! I mean, I'm sure it's not being easy for them either! Go Denzel...!
    Cheers!
