It seems that only the negative antics of celebrities get press these days. Here is the exception.. It slipped in almost undetected.
Good on you Denzel Washington.








The Media (Accidentally?)
Missed this one!!!!


The troops overseas would like you to send it to everybody you know.





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
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
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:

Britney spears
Madonna ,

Tom Cruise and

other Hollywood fluff

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.


As a Marine, this hit home to me. Thought you guys might like to read about it as well. Ive always had respect for Denzel, but today I gained a lot more...
