<p>True story of an officer who volunteered to escort the body of a solder back to his home for burial. Very well done - Kevin Bacon is great in it.</p>
<p>The Northwest Airline magazine had an article about it. Thanks for reminding me. Have you read the email essay that prompted the movie?</p>
<p>No, I haven’t read that.</p>
<p>Here is a link from cbs.</p>

<p>Have Keenex ready. I just cried for the hour and a half. But a great movie.</p>

<p>Here is a segment that Jim Lehrer did on Chance’s death called “A Fallen Son.” Interestingly, Chance’s father is a sculptor and, prior to his son’s death, he had been commissioned to do a memorial statue to pay tribute to lost soldiers. He used his son as the model. </p>

<p>We watched it last night; very moving and very well done–a fine tribute both to Chance and to just about every other person portrayed.</p>
<p>Wow, very poignant, my parents loved it, too, but do not wear mascara!</p>
