The Media missed this one

[lizardsrule]

This story has a very special place in my Heart. I was assigned to BAMC(Brooke Army Medical Center) for 366 days while serving in the Army for a Bone Disease. I appreciate this place for how they helped me during the TOUGHEST TIME IN MY LIFE. To see this really brought tears to my eyes. My mom sent this to me.

Please read this, then send it to everybody you know.

They'll thank you as they forward this to others as well.




Subject: Denzel Washington, and

BrooksArmyMedicalCenter


Don't know whether youheard about this

but Denzel Washingtonand his family visited

the troops at BrookArmyMedicalCenter,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 substatial check for Fisher House

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:

Alec Baldwin,

Madonna,

Sean Penn and

other Hollywood types

make front page news with their anti-everythi ng

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 true American and friend to all in uniform!




This needsas wide a distribution

as we can create.


GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL

FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM

Makes you wander why more people wont help out. This man sincerely appreciates his freedom and is able to do something to help. Wish two things
A-I could do something like that
B-There were more people like him

good post lizards. i heard denzel is a good guy.

[flfireman]

The latter of that article, supposedly he returned home and wrote another check for the balance also. Not exactly sure. I received that email awhile back and then a 2nd email about a month or two later stating he gave more money to finalize construction. I agree, that should have been front page news everywhere.

Not surprising, considering our local rag.

On the bright side, on Oct. 28th I get the privilege of taking one of those wounded warriors at BAMC out for a day of fishing with a LOT of other bass fishermen-last time we had 95 boats and there are supposed to be more this time.

Wish I'd have known you then, Lizards-I'd have busted you out for a little while at least .

[texasbasser]

wow. why arent other movie stars like him? the world would be a better place.

[ironman]

It is amazing how one article, such as this can make you think so much about yourself.

[PowerBass]

Wow. Thats a true Star in my opinion. Just when you think people are bad, this shows how good a few are. God Bless America and its people.

Because most stars are busy trying to tell the government how to run things. Because we all know they are politic majors.

Denzel is a good guy. Nice post liz.

[Vabass22]

Nice post liz, thats really great that even one of the famous people in america, will do something like that. And you know it wasn't a publicity stunt, as he didn't get any publicity. That's great.
