The Media Missed this one!!!!   Please read/share this with others you know. They'll appreciate it.

Subject:  Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in
San Antonio,Texas (BAM C) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some 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 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 trash and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio.

An even better question is why did we invade and occupy Iraq?

Why is being against Bush's occupation in Iraq considered unpatriotic by Republicans?

I am thinking the same thing.

What could be MORE patriotic than wanting to bring home our men and women and get them out of the unnecessary danger caused by that huge mistake in Iraq?
