The "Anger Management" star announced Monday that he will donate $1 million to the United Service Organizations (USO), which will go toward an entertainment facility for injured troops in Bethesda, Md. The donation will mark the largest single contribution from an individual in the organization's history.

"It's an honor for me to be able to give back to these men and women of the military who have done so much for all of us,” Sheen said of the donation. “They put their lives on the line for us every day, and I'm just happy that my work on 'Anger Management' can bring a little bit of relief to the troops and their families."

The actor has pledged to donate 1 percent of the profits from his FX comedy "Anger Management" to the USO, with a guaranteed $1 million minimum. The first installment of $250,000 will be donated in a private ceremony next week.

Thank you for posting this.

Liberals are wrong, but we've had patriotic Americans like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in our past who advocated many things that all Christian conservatives and most Freepers would reject.

A liberal who is willing to support the troops is someone I can respect as a legitimate American with whom we can have a rational debate about how America should be run, rather than being someone who hates America and wants to see it fail.

I realize this is probably marketing, but that's normal in Hollywood. Sheen could have donated his money to lots of causes that would have gathered more positive attention, so I'll take the donation at face value unless proven otherwise.
