Denzel Washington Reportedly
Gives HUGE Donation to
Assist Military Families
If true, why haven't we hear about this on the evening news?
|
Don't know whether you heard about this but
Denzel was visiting 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. I
hope you will spread this story.
