A NOTE FROM JIM: Someone sent me this in an Email and I thought it deserved space on my Blog – I did take some liberties with the text but didn’t change the “sprit” or “meaning” of what was written. Again there was no photo credit attached with the images.

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center (BAMC), in San Antonio, Texas a short time ago.
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. A Fisher House is a hotel where soldiers' families can stay for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the hospital on base, but as you can imagine, these hotels are full or nearly full 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 checkbook out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.
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 is - why do: Britney Spears, Madonna, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood fluff people make front page news with their ridiculous antics and Denzel Washington's story doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the local newspaper in San Antonio.
I guess they are just to busy letting long-time employees go and following the lead of most of the liberal press. What a shame.
I wish I could shake Mr. Washington’s hand and say Thank You in person.
Thanks Very Much!
