"TAKING CHANCE"

Submitted by Tom Madsen.

A new movie TAKING CHANCE is premiring on HBO February 21st. Tom wants us to be aware of the movie ... I've also included a link to information about the "real" Lt. Col. Michael Strobl and Chance Phelps......... I'm sure we have all been moved by this act one way or the other in our lives - lots of people don't know about how the remains of war are escorted home. This tells one such story. Click on the links for information of the movie and the true story upon which it is based.
