Rx for tissues

Today at orientation we watched the saddest movie! It was called Taking Chance. It was a true story about a 20 year old guy named Chance Phelps who was killed in Iraq. He was a marine and the movie was all about the process of getting him from iraq, cleaned up, and transported back to his family. Kevin Bacon was the main actor in it. It was an HBO movie but I hadn't heard of it. While we were watching it I basically forgot I was in a lecture hall with 150 people. I felt like I was in my living room watching it. You can look at more of his story on wikipedia here. There is also a link to the actual transcript written by Chance's military escort, Lt Col Strobl (Kevin Bacon's character). It was a VERY good movie but VERY sad. I recommend it but I also would precribe tissues :)
