Hollywood star Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio, Texas (BAMC) recently, where they were given a tour of the site.
The medical centre treats soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany, especially burn victims. The soldiers' friends and family can stay on site close to their loved ones in Fisher Houses, hotels 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 they are almost completely filled most of the time.
While Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. The star reportedly asked how much one of them would cost to build, and on hearing the answer took his cheque book out and wrote a cheque for the full amount on the spot. |
