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

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #9 "Desire” - Male and Female versions)

(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

Desire

You're never too young and your never too old;

You're never too meek and your never too bold.

Set your sights, fix your mind on what you want to be.

If your desire is strong enough, then you will see

What you need and what it takes to make your dreams come true.

The seeds of greatness are there within you.

The power of faith and desire is strong.

With your belief in that power you just can't go wrong.

Nothing will happen if you sit home and hide.

Your future is waiting for you to decide

What direction you'll take and how determined you are;

To see what can be and know you'll go far.

Can you feel it? Can you see it? It's out there for you.

Know that nothing can stop you from seeing it too.

How bad do you want it, how strong is your will?

You're greatest wish is waiting for you to fulfill.

Say it loud, say it often, say it each and every day

"Your desire is power and you will find the way."

(An original Poem by Mel Kaye)
