taking chance...

recommended to me by a friend...i sat down this weekend to watch a movie entitled "taking chance" with kevin bacon...

i have to say...i thought i was prepared for the movie...i knew that it would be heart wrenching...but...i did not realize the profound affect it would have on me...

based on a true story...of a LT Col who volunteers for escort duty to bring the body of 19 yr old chance phelps home...dealing with his own conflict of being a desert storm veteran and deciding against another combat tour...due to having a wife and small children...this is LT Col mike strobl's week long journey accompanying phelps' body from a delaware military mortuary to burial in wyoming...

let me just say...it would probably be easier for me to name the scenes where i wasn't crying...

this is a moving emotional story that everyone needs to see...
