It is bad when we have to hear this through an e-mail and not on MSN, CBS, Fox or any others....
THE MEDIA (Accidently?) Missed this one!!!!!!
Please read this: The Troops overseas would like you to send it to everybody you know.

Subject: Denzil Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center..
Don't know weather you heard about this but Denzil 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, especialy burn vitims. 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 the base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.

While Denzil 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:
Brad Pitt ~ Madonna ~ Tom Cruise ~ Sean Penn and other Hollywood fluff,
make front page news with ridiculous antics and Denzil Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio????

Because life is what it it is and it isn't fair.

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

Good post.
 
Actually from what I have read this is partially true. He wrote a very large check, but it wasn't enough to cover the cost of a whole building. But it is great that he did what he did!!!
 
Great post Chrisy.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Even if it is not enough to build the whole building any little bit helps our troops and their families
 
Ah! well perhaps most of it was hyped up but he still did good, that needed more publicity so hopefully more stars would do the same. Than just make news to line their pockets more. and I know all of you that have posted a reply have said he did good. Thanks.
 
This is a very old story.

As someone linked to snopes and said it is partially true.

He did make a very generous doantion but it was actully much more than a year ago that I first got one of these e-mails with this story. More like two years ago.

I realize that now when I read the snopes, but I only recieved the e-mail myself on the day I posted, not knowing this at the time.
