Saw this when it came out on HBO. Moves me to this day. I lost my cousin in Vietnam. I remember the two escorts that brought him home. Everyone should see this.

Their duty was to wear the uniform to protect my life and my freedom. Now my duty is to honor them now and forever. Thank you for your service. Gob bless your soul. You are not forgotten. You are and will be in my prayers. P. O. W., M. I. A., K. I. A. and W. I. A.

[@kozdog1]

Just watched it agian for the 3rd time. Moves me everytime i watch it. Taking it ot the shop for movie night.. They need to see a movie with meaning and character.

[@lindasuzen8085]

My husband came home this way from Mogadishu, Somalia. His teammate, & best man at our wedding, met him in Dover, MD and brought him back to Ft. Bragg. This made me break down & cry so hard. I have to see this movie, even though it's so heartwrenching.

[@ranshane]

Sorry for your loss. I am South African and this movie touched my heart big time. Praises out to all the men and women who fight for there country and to all the brave families who sit and wait for the loved ones to return. Be strong Linda

[@lindasuzen8085]

Thank you, Shane

[@phillkj]

+Linda Martin Anderson so sorry for your loss. May the Lord comfort you and your family. We honor and remember your husband and many other fallen soldiers for their sacrifice. I'm Zimbabwean and this movie touched me and I felt for those families who endure such a loss.

[@lindasuzen8085]

Thank you, dear Mai.

[@TheChap1012]

I agree with the rest Linda. I'm so sorry. A Vietnam Vet.

[@DavidConnor]

I'm in tears, AGAIN. And I'm damned PROUD of that.

[@gdigger9997]

Honestly one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[@youngmindedman]

this was one of Kevin Bacon's best movie roles. I seen this movie twice and cried more the second time. I would like to see it again. I also like the way They salute the Fallen Heroes.

[@dannyhrnndz7053]

thank you so much to our fallen servicemen and women for there sacrifice.

[@Geftodd1]

Thank you god for our service men and women, our country is truly free because of their courage

[@Slenderriffic]

I remember flying home and when we landed the pilot told us that we are taking a soldier home when I saw this movie I just fell out in tears because it brought me back to that time

[@afasame5052]

Slenderriffic this movie touches me deeply.

[@TheUsmexcapi]

God bless The United States of America and its heroes that proudly and bravely wear the uniform of our U. S. Armed Forces. Thank you for those who served and are serving.

[@dhom176]

Loved this movie. Wish it was longer!

[@justincribbs85]

This is why I volunteered to conduct funeral honors. It is a privleage to conduct the services for families that have lost a loved one and to be able to render honor to fallen shipmates.

[@angelabarrineau640]

Justin Cribbs Thank you for your service soldier 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Rattytatt]

Honor. Remember. Worst & best duty I ever pulled. A million years ago but this video brought back such emotion.

[@msb2246]

I saw Taking Chance shortly after it came out probably in 2009 This movie absolutely gutted me. I had to pause it SO many times because I was crying so hard (I ended up using a whole box of kleenex). It was so completely raw, powerful and showed a side to the reality of war I had never seen. Taking Chance impacted me in a way no movie has, also given the fact I am only a few months younger than Chance and was born/raised here in Wyoming it hit closer to home. I haven't watched Taken Chance in probably a good 5 years or more I didn't expect this video to me but it took my breath away and here I am sobbing again. Thank you will never be enough but thank you to each and every person who is military, veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. God bless and Godspeed.

[@sandysovie8446]

I seen the movie,and it was really good and very sad.You cant help but cry.Chance was only 19 yrs old,wow.

[@colleen3107]

Sandy Sovie, I too watched this movie in tears and was struck by the courage of that young man. May Chance Phelps rest in peace with the thanks of a grateful nation.

[@stevebuck3108]

as a Casualty Assistant Officer I watch this movie to keep my perspective

[@ghitza2006]

Semper Fidelis! One of the best military movies!

[@Alex__Vazquez_]

My history teacher is in the Air Force and he played this movie last year. I loved it great movie

[@FM418]

That just ripped my heart out! I am going to have to see this movie. Respect for all of our men and women in our armed services. May they all come home safely. May the Good Lord comfort and be with the families and brothers and sisters of those that have given the ultimate sacrifice or that have been injured or scarred during their service to our Country.

[@marjud1]

It did me too. I have seen the movie. It WILL have an effect on you.

[@designatedsurvivor984]

I cry every time I see him get off the plane, have a cross meant to be sent to the family. 😭

[@chitown1966]

After several tours in Iraq. I became a Casualty Notification Officer/ Casualty Assistant Officer in the Army . It was the highest Honor I believe one can do for a fallen Soldier. It was also the hardest thing I ever had to do while I was active duty. Its been a few yrs now since I retired but I still wonder about the families. I try to put it all behind me , I mean I am proud for my service but some memories are painful. Anyways , good movie and thanks for sharing .

[@TheUsmexcapi]

Your, their and his duty was to wear the uniform to protect my life and my freedom. Now my duty is to honor you, honor them and his now and forever. Thank you for your service. Gob bless your soul. You are not forgotten. You are and will be in my prayers. P. O. W., M. I. A., K. I. A. and W. I. A

[@lukebourke8656]

[@user-qw9xo4ze9f]

Honoring those who served their country

[@samston]

Wow I never watch this movie, but it’s so sad how many soldiers die in battle.

[@13Coconuts]

If you ever want to see a man cry strictly from emotion, you can either: watch this movie, or take away all his beer.

[@Airsoftcleaner]

To me this movie is a Memorial Day or Vets Day classic

[@TheMastersstudio]

mr bacon ty soooo much best movie you ever made

[@kevinnorton1997]

I lost my dad in Afghanistan. He was a Marine killed by an IED. I've seen the movie and can't help but cry cause I think about my dad and his funeral.

[@sandysovie8446]

Kevin Norton;That must have been really hard for you loosing your dad,im so sorry.

[@kevinnorton1997]

Sandy Sovie Thanks I'm working on enlisting right now. I just recently lost my girlfriend of 2 years too. So I'm just going in and leaving my life behind me.

[@sandysovie8446]

Kevin Norton Oh wow,youve really had it hard for a long time.I wish you well on your journey in life.

[@rickyt43515]

God bless you and your father. Vietnam 1968 to 1969. We do what we do for our country. May God hold and keep you.

[@kurtkull326]

God bless you and your family...I served in the Marines from 1980-1992...My praters for you and yours.

[@kresnoadiwibowo2856]

Semper Fidelis

[@electriddle]

Fantastic movie, shows the respect, honor & love americans have for our boys in the military. As much as this movie moved me I could hardly get my gf, sister or mother to even view it. Seems alot of people don't care to revisit painful events in their lives, Most notably is footage from the day the twin towers fell. I think America needs to start each day with a clip of the burning towers to be reminded what the islamic radicals are capable of. We need to open our eyes or they'll close them 4 us

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Been there and done that. Toughest duty that I ever did in my 10 years of US Army Special Forces medevac duty.

[@maurogandolfi4553]

Commovente il film , bravo Kein Bacon

Poem: America’s Gallant Soldiers By: David O. Melton America’s gallant soldiers Serve to keep America free, And some pay freedom’s highest cost And die protecting you and me These valiant men and women Whose mortal bodies now lay still, In death earned the greatest honor Herald by a lone bugler’s skill Because they preserve our nation Chosen honor guards stand abreast, While a lone bugle sounds out taps For each great soldier laid to rest Yet far greater than all these things Beyond the stones of marble white, Behold God’s tribute of honor That’s shining eternally bright Greater love has no one than this, To lay down one’s life for one’s friends, This honor is proclaimed by God Over everything it transcends Now honor our gallant soldiers Who under freedom’s banner fall, Soldiers who had to leave loved ones And made sacrifices for all Uplift their hurt and grieving child Left to long suffer and travail, Each soldier’s widow and orphan Greatly needs our help to prevail Let our nation and our people Honor all sacrifices made, Now honor our gallant soldiers And our sacred freedoms they saved Thq movie "Taking Chance" was one of my inspirations to write this poem. David O. Melton

[@stankyp.7858]

David Melton An absolutely beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing with us. This moved me as did the movie Taking Chance.

Died for Oil and not for serving ones country.

[@colleen3107]

Javan Dell, sometimes, if you have nothing nice to say, it is best not to say anything at all. This is one of those times. Chance actually died escorting and protecting Brigadier General John Kelly.
