Taking Chance

Just watched a really good movie called "Taking Chance". It's the true story of 19 year old marine Chance Phelps killed in Iraq. The whole movie is the story of how his remains were transported from Iraq to the U.S. and then how the marines escort the body back to the family and its final resting place in Wyoming. Kevin Bacon (not usually one of my favorites) did an outstanding job portraying the officer who escorted the body every step of the way. As an American you cannot help being moved by this emotional account of PFC Chance Phelps' final journey home. Make no mistake, this is a sad movie. For all its sadness, it's uplifting in a way that makes you proud to be an American. It's only an hour and eighteen minutes long. It's worth the time.
