Denzel Washington is definitely a fan of mines because he made history as being the second african american to win academy award for best actor, and played in various movies with different characters as a civil right leader, dirty cop, good cop, or a bad guy or good guy, military soider, and ganstger, best of all most of his movies are based on a true story. What's unique about him is that he can play multiple characters.

Denzel Washington recently made a contribution to the Brook Army Medical Center to build a "Fisher House" which is a hotel for the families of injured soldiers to stay while their loved one is being treated. Mr. Washington, on behalf of all veterans, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your contribution to the well being of our troops. God bless you.
