HORSEFEATHERS SALUTES DENZEL WASHINGTON
From our San Antonio correspondent:
Don’t expect to read about this in our liberal press.
A few weeks ago Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio,Texas. 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 touched their hearts.
The question is where are the Hollywood bloviators like Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and the others who 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.
A true American and friend to all in uniform!

This is a pretty good story, and I pointed to it on my own blog, but one of my readers pointed out I should have checked Snopes first: http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/denzel.asp

If I'm not mistaken, this isn't Denzel's first visit to the injured troops. I remember a similar visit from last year.
I was probably one of the few heterosexual women who, previously, wasn't all that thrilled about Denzel. Now I'd throw my underwear at him in a minute! :-)
