Last night I sobbed while watching a HBO film, "Taking Chance", Kevin Bacon brilliantly portrays Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl as he escorts a fallen hero PFC Chance Phelps on his final journey home. This movie was based on actual events of Strobl's inner struggles as well as the moving response and love that PFC Chance Phelps receives on his final journey.
This film is not about politics or taking sides, it is a simple yet riveting film about the love, care and respect this fallen Marine gets and the genuine care and honor Lt. Col. Stroble gives him as they make that final journey together, I recommend this as a movie that will touch your heart and live with you forever.
To thank PFC. Chance Phelps family for their sacrifice seems so little in comparison to what they have lost and to thank Lt. COl. Strobl for his service will too never seem like enough. That being said I do thank them and all of the men, women and families that sacrifice every day for me and my family,
I came upon a quote not too long ago I would like to share....
POOR IS THE NATION THAT HAS NO HEROES. SHAMEFUL IS THE NATION THAT HAVING THEM FORGETS.
Thank You to all of our Veterans
Please take the time to thank a solider, and if you can watch, "Taking Chance", you will never forget it,
