    Taking Chance has to be one of the most moving Military films I’ve ever seen. Seen it at least seven times and it gets me every time. Respect to all the allied fallen 🇬🇧 . RIP PFC Phelps

    The one scene that got me was when he met that other soldier escorting another fallen soldier and it came out that soldier was escorting his own brother home. I have chills just remembering it! And the other scene was when all those cars turned on their lights like they were in the funeral procession and the big rig started it all. I'm so glad Kevin Bacon won a Golden Globe for that movie!
    Such an excellent movie. I don't think I'll ever forget it. We owe them so much - willing to give up their lives to keep us and others free. It doesn't get anymore patriotic than that. God Bless them all - past, present and future.

    This is one of the best movies I've seen about the burial of a Brother Marine. My oldest Brother was in the Army and my other Brother and I were in the Marine Corps. My oldest Brother had burial detail after he returned from Vietnam in the Pacific Northwest as he was short. He would tell us how they would go to the funeral for the Army's Vietnam war Dead and how they were treated by families.
    We lost our first Cousin in Vietnam in 68 and I remember the day my Aunt got notified like it was yesterday. It was a lot different back then, than it was during the war on terrorism. This movie shows how much Respect and Honor the USA shows for it's current Veterans. Semper Fi PFC Phelps

    It gets me when he met that SSgt. at the airport and he asked "are you related to the deceased son???" His answer simple but real hard to swallow "he is my brother".

    • @R12gsa09
      @R12gsa09 3 года назад +8

      He presented that question more as a token of respect. He knew there was some relation the moment SSgt said his family will greet them at the final location, that’s why called him “son”. That was a very dignified response without prying, appropriate for a Marine and for any Armed Force personnel. The nation owes a huge debt to our fallen heroes.

    I was there in TQ (Al-Taqaddum Air Base) with the Marine Corps on April 9, 2004 with my AH-1W helicopter squadron providing CASEVAC ops when they brought Chance Phelp's body back to our base. I didn't know it at the time, but I'm sure it was him, so this movie has a special meaning to me. Semper Fidelis PFC Phelps.

      If you're suffering from PTSD i would recommend you to watch a movie - 'To Heal A Nation'. There are others like Born in the 4th of July, Captain Newman MD, Best years of our lives but this one is special too. Cease Fire (Don Johnson) and Distant Thunder (John Lithgow Ralph Machhio Karate Kid) are also 2 Vietnam War era moving films i love till date.

    • @kosys5338
      @kosys5338 2 года назад

      I fought for freedom. Freedom is an illusion, In America the word freedom has become a catch phrase, a facade to hide the ugly truth. It's a flavor the protected will never know because they have never known actual real freedom. There is only real freedom in America for those who can afford to buy it. To say otherwise is to piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. There are 300+ thousand homeless veterans living on the streets of America. why don't you ask them what the flavor of freedom tastes like. I'm sure like myself they will be happy to tell you about this flavor you speak of. Yea good old freedom, got to admit though, that quote sounds good if nothing else. Cheers!

    I am an ex Navy jet mechanic. I too did not know Chance Phelps before he died. But every time I watch this movie, usually on memorial day and veterans day, I miss him also. And I mourn the deaths of every member of the US armed forces who never came home. RIP LCPL Chance Phelps, you died a hero.band I for one am forever grateful.

    I served during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, as did my husband. I will never forget the day at Ft. Jackson, S.C. when I first put on my uniform, and when I graduated from basic training and really felt like a soldier. My gift was nothing these men and women however have given, because I did not give my life, I only gave my service; these brothers gave all. My 3 children proudly love their nation, my daughter was devastated when she found out she could not enlist because she has RA; our youngest son plans on joining and hopefully becoming a Ranger. They have been raised on core values of integrity, honor, love of country, and the fact that one day they will receive a flag for myself and their dad, and that is the greatest thing an American can give, is the honor of their family being handed a flag in their name. I just hope it gets better in this country. God bless our brothers that died in Niger, and Frederika Wilson should be ASHAMED.

      I served in Operation Enduring Freedom. My daughter joined the Air National Guard and going to her graduation was a awesome day when she got out of basic. My son will join in the next year. I am sorry for your daughter. Serving is a great thing and it is a life very few see. Unfortunately it comes with a price and the ultimate price is something that would be horrific to bear. May God bless your family with safety.

I pray for Chances parents and family that they can find peace. I am very grateful for heroes like Chance who gave their lives so I could live in a free country. God bless him and all of our military.

    i am ignatia from JKT Indonesia, me too couple times seeing this true story makes me cry, so touching, we learn from this story abut willingness and humbleness, how a higher position person in military would like accompany taking Chance P. home who is lower position than him in a long journey.
    and along its journey every vehicle on the road put respect for the car carrying the body oh Chance P. And i saw that there is no force rider or anything which is as usual show in my country along the journey. I really respect of this.. we learned a lot of things from this movie, especially how being a humble person in a high position in our live, it is not easy because people usually showing their ego seeking a crazy respect from others, but this we learn how giving respect eventhought to the dead person... salute to this true story
    and this story remember us approaching to commemorate The Good Friday because Chance P was killed on a Good Friday too

      What concerns me now is how indoctrinated as well as self centered our young have become - no obligation to join the services. I am from a military family who has given over 100 years of service, and I have the utmost respect for these volunteers. Never thought an election could be stolen like the last one. Never thought criminals could fool so many and get elected I love this movie, even though it had me in tears. Chance Phelps was a really good person from a very good family. His sacrifice was the ultimate one - and a grateful appreciates that. Semper Fi !

Going into my Senior Year and couldn't take the class, made me sad which is why I remember the movies we watch, taking chance was one of them. I was at that school for my sophomore & junior year ( some of the days there we're miserable and I was glad I left but it will never change all the great memories I had there!

      He disrespected and mocked a veteran on national television.

      He was attacked first. He only defended himself.

    Only a Marine, .................would see this. At the beginning of the video clip, after the Marine Corps League members leave the area, Kevin Bacon begins to walk toward the casket. He steps off on his RIGHT foot, not his left. Marines become accustomed to stepping off on the left foot because it is drilled into us from Boot Camp. This is the only error I spotted and not unusual for an actor who hasn't served in the military..
