I finally saw HBO’s movie, “Taking Chance”, starring Kevin Bacon last night. What an incredible movie! Bacon plays a Marine officer who escorts the body of PFC Chance Phelps to his final resting place in Wyoming. It’s a story of his journey – both the external experiences of his travel and the internal emotions that he experiences on the journey. It doesn’t matter whether you believe that the war in Iraq is a good thing or a bad thing. The movie can be appreciated by all Americans in how the Marines handle casualties of war. And the most touching parts to me were the reactions of ordinary American citizens as he traveled across the US from Delaware to Wyoming. I highly recommend it!
