Has anyone had the chance yet to see the DVD with Kevin Bacon, "Taking Chance"
Chance Phelps was a young Marine that was killed in Iraq a few years ago, Kevin Bacon plays the young LTC Michael Strobl that escorted his body home (WY?). True story from the LTC, he was told to file and AAR (After Action Report) but what he did was keep a journal of the entire trip. The movie shows the respect given this young fallen Marine everywhere they went. The LTC that Bacon plays was so moved by everyone's respect and wrote it all down - and then it was made into this movie. You can't seem to rent it anywhere, my son owns a copy, but if you can find it - buy it or rent it, you won't be sorry!
