Actor, director and Hollywood icon Denzel Washington is the \u201cHonorary Sergeant Major of the Army\u201d for 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all are free because of the sacrifices that you\u2019ve made,\u201d Washington said of U.S. military service members at a small ceremony on Sept. 24 in New York City. \u201cWe all have the right to agree or disagree or complain or whine or whatever else Americans do these days because of the sacrifices that each and every one of you men and women made. This really belongs to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Army formally announced Washington as the 2021 Honorary Sergeant Major of the Army recipient at the Annual Association of the U.S. Army conference on Monday. Washington was chosen because of his work with the Fisher House Foundation, a program focused on building homes at military medical centers around the world for military and veteran families to stay in while their loved one is receiving medical care.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Washington has always seemed to be level-headed in his comments and his work with the Fisher House Foundation is admirable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
