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 Denz! el 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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wishing you peace, fellowship, and good humor as we celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ on the Christmas Holy Day.

I"ve always admired Denzel as an actor and I wanted this story to be
completely true. Sorry if I didn't get all the facts straight.

No sweat.

Denzel *did* make a sizeable contribution, and that's what counts. I
like him also!

Norm,
I can't figure out who starts their email urban legends or why, but I have a
theory, if you get a great or weird story in email, it probably isn't true.

Snopes has always proved this to be correct.
