"Taking Chance" is a movie and you need to see the entire thing to understand the depth of it. I would recommend it for everyone.

[@christianchilders8556]

My science teacher I had my last 2 years of school, who also happened to be a marine, showed the film around memorial day every year

[@mshappyapple8663]

Yes!! It's available here on YT. I really lost it when he meets the other one also escorting a hero home. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I'll leave it there. This really was an excellent movie and Kevin Bacon wears the uniform well. You can't understand how hard it must be unless you watch this movie.

[@wooly1286]

It should be a requirement for all high school students to watch.

[@patrickholland6848]

If you are a "Big tough" man you will want to watch it in privacy because you will end up crying like a little girl.

[@jaymichaelruss6872]

You need to watch the full movie. It’s definitely a movie people need to see.

[@gabbyhayes440]

If you have the opportunity, you should see this movie. God bless.

[@denicesanders4586]

It is very good and hits home.

[@roniboyd613]

One of my fave movies.

[@jacquelineross7231]

The movie is a tear jerker. But shows the absolute respect fallen soldiers are given

[@djchiesa3567]

Not today. Just ask BLM, sharpton, antifa, soros, clinton, kamala & biden AND the media; they spit on our soldiers graves.

[@dragons8822]

The movie called "Taking Chance" is a true story about a young man from Dubois,Wyoming named Chance Phelps. i live up in Cody,Wy near Yellowstone Park & Chance's story made the news across the state. The movie is about 2 men ; Chance & the man who escorted him home. You do need to watch this movie !!!

[@cliffordbarnes1631]

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

@@johnlothrop293 … I was saying R.I.P. to ALL fallen soldiers, not just Marines. My dad was a Marine, my brother was in the Air Force, my great uncle was in the Navy, my uncle was hurt in WWII (don’t know what branch though), and I was in the Army. So I know the difference.

[@Prozak63]

I've been on a few "Angle Flights" and it is sobering and silent inside that AC-130 when that flag draped coffin is secured in the the center of that bird in plain sight. The only thing more heartbreaking is when you are assigned as a family advocate to dedicate all your time to the family of the lost hero helping them through arrangement that have to be made while still comforting them with their loss.

[@TheDonsChannel]

Truly heartbreaking. A very difficult experience for all involved. Thank you for sharing

[@zodszoo]

Such an excellent movie. Bit of a tear jerker. ✌️

[@michaelfrench4153]

This movie is actually one that I feel everyone should watch at least once. Very well done and powerful. My friend who is SF in the Marines was actually stationed in DC on the Silent Drill platoon and he got to meet that actual colonel and Kevin Bacon.

[@cherylhuckaby2927]

The thing about this movie is that is completely true story. At the end they show a lot of pictures and videos of Chance as he grew up. This movie had a powerful effect on Kevin Bacon.

[@debbiesenatore5433]

WOW..... I have my Grandfathers 48 star flag. I was blessed to know him. Everyone should be remembered after they pass away and especially those who fought for our freedoms.

[@leslie3765]

[@TheBruceGday]

The whole movie is an important movie. It is deep and meaningful. More Americans need to see it, especially today.

[@distractioneer8425]

[@PinkHawk191]

My supervisor got a small part in this and he made sure we all watched it. It's important for people to see the respect that is shown for our troops and their families.

[@rosemiller8425]

Cried in this movie, it was deeply moving, must watch it again

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

Glad you did this one, but you need to watch the full movie. Kevin Bacon poured his heart into this performance, his best.

[@kjsalomonsen9299]

My grandfather was in WWI on the front line in France, he was a stretcher bearer and my mom said he only told her one story about the war. He and his partner were sent over the top (as medical staff they weren't allowed to carry a weapon) when they were attacked by a German Soldier. His partner took out his knife and dispatched the German and they went about their duty. My Grandfather came home a changed man, he suffered from "shell shock" today it's called PTSD and the men were told to get on with their life. He self medicated with alcohol for 20 years. When he got sober he met my Grandmother and they had 4 children and 12 grandchildren. Grandpa was a quiet and reserved man who loved watching his grandkids play. He passed into memory in 1974.

[@teresakiersznowski8483]

I purchased the movie from Amazon a few years ago before I had ever seen it, just knew it had to be good. Wept uncontrollably when I watched it and came close to it just watching this. I also just purchased Audie Murphy’s To Hell and Back since I couldn’t find it on TV this MemorIal Day weekend. These two movies along with Sergeant York are three of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you for reacting to the story of Taking Chance.

[@fester2306]

The journal it's based on can be read online.

[@meganlynn83]

Wow. Just... wow. I'd definitely love for you to check out the Budweiser Clydesdales commercials! Specifically their Super Bowl commercials and the one remembering 9/11. Absolutely devastating but so beautiful and uplifting.

[@lynnettekertson8289]

An awesome movie...Kevin Bacon gives an excellent performance. I recommend the whole movie. Makes me cry every time.

[@dianecostanza]

My dad has a Marine Corp burial. I only remember trembling through the whole burial ceremony with the flag over his casket and the marines standing over it. It gives me chills still.

[@jinxie228]

Taking Change is a great movie.... totally worth watching!

[@2098elk]

I received a copy of this at the Vietnam Veterans Convention in Louisville about 10 years ago. Got a signed copy from the real person that Bacon played. Very moving. Just watching this brings tears to my eys.

[@cilleshaner4092]

I agree with the others that to get the full effect, one must see the movie. I imagine it would be very hard for a combat Veteran that has lost Battle Buddies. May God bless all of our Warriors.

[@terrimobley6067]

I cried and cried watching this movie... It was moving beyond description!!

[@bobsit1945]

Have the movie and everytime I watch it, the tears flow. One of the scenes that tore me up, while during a conversation with the young Army Sergeant seen in here, who was also escorting a fallen Soldier, if he knew who he was escorting, and the Sergeants response, hit me like a rock.

[@CalKingOnyx]

Dude, you need to watch the entire movie! As many times as I've seen it, I have yet to make it through without blubbering like a baby. It is so worth it!

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

The movie is fantastic. It shows how we take care of our fallen heroes. It's from the beginning of the body arriving home to the cleaning and dressing of the soldier (this is based on a true story "Taking Chance"). He never left Chance's side, even sleeping in the airport hangar and the funeral home. It also shows how passengers on the plane react when they find out they're on an "Angel Flight", the crew on the ground unloading the casket and how we honor them on the final drive home. It's very emotional. Kevin Bacon can play any role beautifully, but I think he outdid himself in this one. More recently, a pilot for a large airline, who'd lost his father in the Vietnam War, received a call that 50+ years later, his father's remains had been identified. He flew his daddy home. His co-pilot made the announcement over the intercom that unbeknownst to them, they'd been on an Angel Flight. The son was 5 years old when he hugged his daddy goodbye, from the same airport where he brought him home. I'll see if I can find the link. WATCH THIS VIDEO! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2W6Y2WdiZxgiJo

I totally understood this movie when I watched it. As a Marine I have done my share of funeral details, including one for a Marine I had served with back in 1977 who was killed in the barracks bombing in Beruit in 1983. I've met with the body escorts and saw the reactions of the families. During the first Gulf War I was assigned to the Joint Service Personal Effects depot whose job it was to inventory, clean and return the personal effects of a fallen service member to their next of kin, I've been to the Port Mortuary at Dover Delaware and have seen the work they do there. This movie hit home.

“Taking Chance” has been my annual Memorial Day viewing tradition for about the last 5 years…

[@truthguide1742]

Great job. You do an excellent service with your channel. Great content. I really like how you say "Let's Go". Anyway back to this video. I accidentally discovered "Taking Chance" while browsing a local record/music store. The title, Kevin Bacon, the brief description intrigued me. So I bought the movie. It is a many different emotions film. Sorrow, pride, American respect, a sense of loss, anger towards whose who would destroy this country & discarding the sacrifice of the young adults who died in service. I felt other emotions, but the main one was getting choked up getting misty eyed, even crying. (Darn allergies or was it onions being peeled). Oh, on the front of the DVD case were two other reasons to buy. 1. Official Selection 2009 Sundance Film Festival. 2. "When one falls, another brings him home."

[@TheDonsChannel]

Thank you very much

[@amybrewster4964]

My father has been gone for 19 years now, but every Memorial as we would cookout and friends and family were celebrating, my dad would tell this story. The day my parent found out they were pregnant with me, I'm the oldest 54 yrs old, we the same day my parents returned from the doctors and dads draft notice(1966) was in the mail waiting. My dad called the recruitment enter and explained mom was expecting and then had to provide proof from the doctor, they refilled his number as married with a dependent, his number did not come up again. He would hug me and tell me Thank You, I had absolutely nothing to do with the conception part 😉, he said because of me he was not drafted for Vietnam.

I served from 1971 to 1974. Death is part of the bargain. For us (the individual soldier, sailor, marine or airman) we can accept our death. We would rather be killed than maimed. The true sorrow and heartache is for those we leave behind. If we are wounded, slightly or severely then that heartache lingers in us and them. Pray for all of our 'heroes' who have given so much for us to be able to live here free (at least for now). They didn't give themselves up for left wing ideology. They gave them selves up for the dream that was America!
