Taking Chance

Last night I watched "Taking Chance", a film that follows Marine Corps Officer Mike Strobl as he escorts the body of Private First Class Chance Phelps back to his parents. In the film, officer Strobl meets several people with very different outlooks on life, from a carefree college girl to another Marine officer who is escorting his brother's body home, and it is very thought provoking to see their different reactions to Strobl and the duty he is carrying out. It is good, in the midst of our political battles, to take a step back to remember the men and women who have put themselves in harms way so that we can be free. Thank you, all of you in the Military for waht you do. God bless America, and God bless her Armed Forces.
