Honoring Veterans

Taking Chance, an HBO movie starring Kevin Bacon, chronicles the transfer and tribute of a young Marine killed in Iraq. This is a "must share" for everyone in the funeral and cemetery profession. It is a true story about Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl and his escort of the remains of Lance Corporal Chance Phleps back to his home in Wyoming. This film, the Official Selection of the 2009, Sundance Film Festival, is an emotional soujourn into the soul of a country mourning not only Phelps, but all of our country's fallen heroes.
