Re: Taking Chance
I watched it last night and i still have'nt got the lump out of my throat. I don't know that i could take a body of one of our hero's home. It would be too humbling and hard to keep from breaking down.

Those who have shed their blood on the battlefield with me will forever be my brothers.

Just caught it.
Excellent film.
My eyes are all screwed up, wish I had an allergy to blame.

I watched it last night going to bed. Amazing film. I couldn't sleep after it. Very touching.

Re: Taking Chance
I watched it again last night. I couldn't stop watching it. Great movie, even the second time!

I'd live with scarlet majors at the base,
And speed glum heroes up the line to death...
And when the war is done and youth stone dead,
I'd toddle safely home and die -in bed.</span>
