An American Patriot!

SAN ANTONIO, Tex

Denzel  Washington and  his family visited the troops at  Brook Army Medical Center, in San  Antonio,   Texas  (BAMC) several months 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.

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 checkbook out at some point and made a substantial donation toward the building of a new  Fisher House building.
