Received an email a few days ago and just opened it. The email was from a relative who is an Army dentist. The topic of the email was about a visit to Brooks Army Medical Center (Ft. Sam Houston). Brooks, one of the best burn centers in the world, has several houses, called Fisher Houses, where family members of injured soldiers can stay at little or no charge. Washington asked how much one of the houses cost. When told, according to the email, he wrote a check for one.
You don't hear much about Hollywood types doing such exceptional things as this. Mr. Washington certainly earned the gratitude from any member of the military who heard about this. I have a feeling he didn't do it for publicity.
