Hollywood types aren't all bad



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 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."

Way to go, dude. - Og

That's a couple years old, but still a great story. He's one of the few that doesn't get into all the bashing. Too many of them are afraid if they support Republicans or conservative views they will blacklisted in Hollywood. Good for Denzel!
