Did anyone see the HBO movie Taking Chance, with Kevin Bacon, tonight?

It is based on a Marine Lt. Colonel's journal of his escort duty, taking the body of a young PFC home to his burial in Wyoming. I have been wanting to see it since the preview made me tear up (the scene where the Northwest Airlines ground crew stop what they're doing to pay respect as the body is loaded hit me hard having been a part of that kind of moment on several somber occasions at DFW when the war first began)...and the movie itself ripped me to shreds emotionally. After it was over, I sat there on the couch, just stunned with tears in my eyes. Absolutely incredible movie. Well done, non-political, almost completely true to the original journal.

No matter your politics, your thoughts on whether or not we should be over there, whatever...you really should take the hour and fifteen minutes to sit down and watch this movie. If anything, it honors those who have sacrificed...
