This is one of the most powerful and moving films I have ever watched. Based on a true story, Taking Chance follows Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl who volunteers to escort the remains of 19-year-old PFC Chance Phelps USMC killed in Iraq to his family in a small Wyoming town.It will no doubt win at the Emmys, but it's a crime that this film is not eligible for an Oscar because it would walk away with several. Kevin Bacon is magnificent. The screenplay is flawless. The entire film is a work of art.
Taking Chance needs to be seen by every American.
Thank you PFC Phelps, from a grateful nation.

This is a powerful heart wrenching thought provoking films that I have seen in a long time. You are correct every American should see it reguardless of stance about the war. The HONOR that only comes from serving and the RESPECT that the boots on the ground deserve is well defined like no other film I've seen. My heart carries the love to all the families of our fallen MEN and WOMEN whom have protected our shores. May GOD bring you comfort and peace.
Thanks for the recommendation; I'll check it out!
