If you have HBO and can handle the tears, watch "Taking Chance"

It is a very good movie. Sad and has me choked up as I watch it. It is touching the reaction this Marine escort got.

2. My eyes are watering and my throat has a giant lump in it.

I am trying not to cry.

3. Bawled my head off through the whole movie

None of our troops should have had to die because of Bush's illegal war :cry:

Chance was given dignity and honor.


So many who have come home for the final good-bye.

None of this had to happen :(
My heart breaks over this.





Thank you, Kevin Bacon, for taking on this film.

4. Yep, it is sad.

I came close a few times. I can not watch Baghdad ER either. That one makes me MAD.

6. Yes they do.

It was very sad, and when he talks to the other soldier on escort duty and finds out it is his brother he is escorting home.
What broke me up the most was the procession of cars that follows them on their way to his final stop.
