" Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window of your local movie theater with $10 in your hand.
The Media (accidentally?) missed this one! Please read this: The troops overseas would like you to send it to everybody you know.

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 Brooks 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 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 checkbook 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 is - why do: Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, 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 !?

Check Snopes first. Denzel did make a contribution but not as described.

Either way, the fact that he took time from his life to visit those whom are responsible for giving him his freedom is worth sharing considering the piece of shit celebs we have these days.

Gary Sinise is a badass...so are a bunch of standup comics.

That article is dated. Looking at those green class A uniforms, this had to have happened 2 years or so ago. The Army has transitioned to Dress Blues as the new class A uniform around two years ago, but good on Denzel just the same.

I remember it several years ago. I think it was more than 2 years. The guy in back is also in BDU's leading me to believe it's further back.

Or the guy in BDU's over Denzel's shoulder. This had to be taken sometime around 2005-early 2006 at the latest.
