Denzel Washington
« on: December 05, 2007, 11:11:35 AM »
I got another e-mail from my mom. I don't know if it has been here before but..The Media (Accidently?)
 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.

 The question is - why do:

 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.  Share it!

GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL!!!

I wouldn't pick on Brad Pitt... He's just announced plans to develop housing in New Orleans.

I'm glad to hear that about Denzel. He's about my favorite actor. I've never heard a bad word about him.

   Brad Pitt..about to "develop housing" in New Orleans ?...LOL

    Isn't that where Donald Trump said he thought people were crazy for building their houses BELOW SEA LEVEL ?

              Guess the relative wisdom involved depends upon who we believe is more savvy about real estate !...LOL

all though the email going around is stretching the truth He was there supporting disabled American Heroes and he did make a sizable donation  witch puts him a my stand up guy  category considering that the majority of the hollywood types are  bad mouthing soldiers and sucking A## with dictators

If it happened in '94 it would say even more for him.  He was patriotic before 9-11-2001, not just after like most of the public.  He's an impressive human being and as a vet, I'd like to tell him thanks for what he did.  There was a TV show about it once that I saw and I was impressed.
