Shocking!

I don't khow 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 soldier's
families can stay, for little or no charge,
while their soldier is staying 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 cheque book out and wrote a
cheque for the full amount right there
onthe 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?

Britney Spears Madonna, Tom Cruise and
other Hollywood fluff make front page
news with their ridiculous make front
page news with their ridiculous antics
and Denzel Washington's charity doesn't
even make page 3 in the Metro section
of any newspaper except the local
newspaper in San Antonio.

This needs wide distribution...
