The Media Missed this one!!!!
 
 
 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 An tonio,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.

 Whi le 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,    
 Madonna,
 Sean Penn   and
 other Hollywood types  
 make front page news with their anti-everything
 America crap 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.
