"When one falls, another brings him home." I highly recommend the HBO film, "Taking Chance", which is now showing on the HBO network. This movie is extremely powerful and poignant. It was very well done, and without an overt bias for or against the war in Iraq. It had me crying, all through the movie. But, I wouldn't have missed seeing it. You must try to see it, too.Here is the synopsis of the story:
In April 2004, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl, USMC, came across the name of 19-year-old Lance Corporal Chance Phelps, a young Marine who had been killed by hostile fire in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. Strobl, a Desert Storm veteran with 17 years of military service, requested that he be assigned for military escort duty to accompany Chance's remains to his family in Dubois, Wyo.
