If you have HBO.....
Taking Chance is on tonight...... if you have not seen it it's well worth the time. Tissue alert.
If you have seen it, it's worth watching again.
TISSUE ALERT

And if you don't cry........ you are a totally worthless human being, and deserve to be ground up and used for fertilizer.

It's always a sad time when one of my brothers is buried. It's a brotherhood and branch of service has no bearing. Taking Chance is the story of a Marine escort taking PFC Chance Phelps home to be buried after his death in Afghanistan, it is truly a moving story.

Holy Crap the trailer is bad enough. +1 on the Tissue alert. Having a Son that is in the ARMY, Stationed in Germany and leaving For Afganistan on July 10th I will be watching this but it is definately going to be hard. It;s always in the back of your mind.
Proud ARMY Parent. Thanks to ALL who have served and Continue to Serve.

Same here Shooter, 3 Army boys that have 6 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm an Air Force vet. My wife teared up just watching the trailer, she still thinks about what she would do if we lost one the boys. It's a hard time, stay strong for him JRBass.
