TAKING CHANCE
The Story:
Based on the real life events, It’s 2004 Marine Lt. Colonel Mike Strobl (Kevin Bacon), A veteran of the earlier and more successful Operation Desert Storm, Strobl suffers something akin to survivor guilt and when he spots a name on the list from his home region he volunteers to escort the body of a fallen Lance Corporal, Chance Phelps, back to his final resting place in Wyoming.
Strobl, a Gulf War vet, nevertheless carries guilt for not volunteering for Afghanistan or Iraq when his fellow officers did. Based on the journal Strobl kept as he escorted the body, the story carefully traces the exceptional care and concern for the dignity and honor of the fallen every step of the journey
