This was forwarded to me. I think this says much about a man’s character, and where his priorities are!

Please pass on to you friends.

XXXXX… pass this on to your fellow soldiers in the Tikrit area! Contrary to what you hear in the media, the vast majority of Americans support your efforts in Iraq! Fly low, fast, and safe!





FW: This needs wide distribution

Denzel is a Christian Republican! That is something new in Hollywood!








Forwarded in hopes that you all will give this info maximum dissemination........Frank Subject: Denzel Washington
Subject: Brooks Army Medical Center

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited
the troups at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (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 does Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other
Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America crap
and this doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper

except the base newspaper in San Antonio

You have to ask because you are a Canadian.
If you lived here you would not have to ask.

Well this is the first time I have seen it. Thanks very much, tbelisle, I am grateful. SJ, you are right, the only place you may see this would be Fox News.

A nice gesture but mostly "baby kissing"

A black actor, in a mostly black and mexican city in a hospital with mostly black patients, donates to a charity that is used mostly by black familys.

Otherwise it was a tax write off .1% of his last movie paycheck that he would have to give to the Government in taxes anyway used to gain a deduction and some good will from the local people.

It was a nice thing to do,

Especially since it was not done to get headlines like the protesters do their shit for,

More stars should do things like that and I am sure many do, but that does not get front page attention that they like / need for their carrers,

Denzel is at the top of his trade right now and never needed wild front page exibitions to get, there he did it on talent, luck and hard work.


But it was also a Public Relations and Tax thing in a selected area.

I am talking about money

(taxes, deductions)

and public relations (publicity, goodwill) reasons for doing it.

Lets not put a nice guy up for sainthood because he threw sone people some spare change he would have lost to the taxman anyway.

Race has nothing to do with it.

Stop the capitalisation of every word I beg you.
As to the race issue I doubt it had to do with it and he might as well have spent it on another charity like gay marriage rights movement or shit. I say nice gesture and do not look a gift horse in its mouth.
