Sorry if this is a dupe, but it is worth mentioning again anyway:
 

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

Subject: Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center

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 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 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:
Brad Pitt, Madonna, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood fluff make front page news with their ridiculous antics 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!

If this is true....he's a hell of a guy.

BAMC is one of the nicer Army hospitals I've had the pleasure of working in.  

Old story, been around a long time.  Some parts of it are even true.
www.snopes.com is your friend.

The true parts are nice, Denzel is a hell of an actor and a good person to boot.  He and Bruce Willis need to make an un-PC action movie asap!

He was always my favorite minority actor, especialy watching MAN ON FIRE - that was one of the best!
