Taking Chance -************************************************** **

Can I give it TWO LEAKY EYES or LES's?

HBO premiered this short movie, based on the notes of a Marine officer who volunteers to escort the body of a young Private who us killed in Iraq.

I watched it twice tonight because I could not get through it the first time.

A very touching story about how our soldiers 'get home' when they are killed in combat.

For me, this movie especially reinforces the notion that the caskets boing brought home from overseas should NOT photographed and printed as a media propaganda tool.

To take one dead soldier's casket and use it in the media as a representation of all the the rest is a slight to the families of service people and the men and women who prepare and escort them to their final resting places.

Great movie, see it if you can.
