Denzel - Decent Human Being


Most people generally give others the benefit of the doubt when determining
whether they are decent human beings. This is true in my case as well.
You generally have to prove to me that you are not one. However I do have
one exception, and that is Hollywood.

In hollywood's case, I need definitive proof that they are decent. I
recieved a good deal of evidence concerning Denzel this morning:




>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). 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.
>
>A true American and friend to all in uniform!


Amen.
