This is an email I just received. I don't know if it is true or not but it it is, it asks a good question at the end. What do you think?
Subject: Denzel Washington : Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his
family
visited the troups at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas
(BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated
from
Germany come to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims.
They have 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 completely 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 Alec Baldwin, Modonna, Sean Penn and
other
Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America
crap
and this doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper
except the base newspaper in San Antonio
