celebrities and soldiers

[movie_girl99]

I got a forwarded e-mail from my freep ex husband about how Denzel whipped out his check book and donated enough money to build a "Fisher House" at Brooke Army Medical Center. It goes on to ask why Madonna, Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin make front page news for spewing anti-Americanism but Denzel's generosity goes unnoticed. Does anyone have any info about other celebs helping the troops. I know there are many who have gone over to iraq and i'm sure there are many more who have donated to help them.

1. How about Cher

and her program to provide helmet inserts to soldiers? She has called C-SPAN on a few occasions about the program.
