I just recieved this from a friend w/ A cousin serving in the military.

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troups at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com /><st1:PlaceType w:st=Brook</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Army</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Medical</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType>, in <st1:City w:st="on">San Antonio</st1:City>,<st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State> (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims. They have 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 completely 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 doesn't this
even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper

except the base newspaper in <st1:City w:st="on">San Antonio</ST1:p</st1:City>

Because the media doesn't care about happy stories. People don't pa attention to Happy stories. If there's enough bad new's to fill the paper, then the good news will be pushed out.

I hate the damn media.

I've always liked Denzel - he's one of my favorite actors. And after reading Snopes version of his visit, I'm even more impressed. I'm glad he didn't pull out his checkbook ("Excuse me while I whip this out" - Blazing Saddles fans know what I'm talking about) and write it there on the spot. It shows that he's not craving media attention about his giving, which is the way it should be. But he's caring and generous enough to help out when he sees a need. Good for Denzel (first)
 
Either way you don't see a person of his fame and fourtune do this without the cameras kissing their ass the whole way. What he did, he did because he is a decent, patriotic human being and that is what the title "True American" referred to.
Bravo Mr. Washington.
 
(werd) he coulda just bought a new bentley.......
