Taking Chance

Taking Chance is the remarkable true story of one soldier's (Marine) death in battle, another soldier's (Marine) journey of discovery and a nation's reverence and gratitude toward its war dead. After hearing of the heroic death of a young Marine in Iraq, veteran officer Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl (Kevin Bacon) volunteers to escort the remains of Lance Corporal Chance Phelps back to his hometown in Wyoming. Now, on a trip across America's heartland, Strobl will find himself on an unexpectedly emotional sojourn into the soul of a country mourning not only Phelps, but all of our country's fallen heroes.

Such a sad and great movie. It's for sure worth the view. I would have been balling like a big baby if my roommate wasn't in the room! It should make you have more respect for the service men and women who fight for you.

I put Marine in ()'s because the movie is about a Marine. Marine's are Marines, Army are Soldiers, Navy are Saliors, and the Air Force are Airmen, and trust me, there's a difference, but they are all service men and women.
