Denzel Visits Brooks Army Med Center


Denzel Washington and his family visited

the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in

San Antonio, Texas (BAMC) recently.

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 (click on the link to visit the Fisher House web site)
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 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...pass it on
