God bless our service men and women and all our vets. If you ever get a chance to see the movie “Taking Chance” by all means do. It’s based on a true story of a Marine escorting a fallen soldier home. Very touching and very well done. I had no idea of the stringent protocol involved. It’s worth the watch. -- Why measure twice when you can cut twice? |

This is awesome… reminds me of the Northwest Airlines and HBO movie they did called “Taking Chance” where Kevin Bacon played the role of escort, to bring a young man home to his family. Based on real-life events, Lt. Col. Michael Strobl, a volunteer military escort officer, accompanies the body of 19-year-old Marine Chance Phelps back to his hometown of Dubois, Wyoming. -- “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” Mark Twain |
