A Nod To The Gods

Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window of your local movie theater with $10   in your hand.  

The   Media (Accidently?) Missed  this  one!!!! 

The   troops oversees would like you to send it  to everybody you know. 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   (BAMC) 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  checkbook 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 is:  why   do:
Brad   Pitt, Madonna,  Tom  Cruise and other Hollywood fluff  make  front page news with their ridiculous  antics 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 .

Remember.  . . .A Veteran – whether active duty, retired,  national guard or reserve – is someone who, at one  point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable  to ‘The United States of America’, for an amount of  ‘up to and including my life.’ That is honor,  and there are way too many people in this country  who no longer understand it. — Author  Unknown
