Taking Chance

You might have noticed that I have not blogged since the election. I have my reasons (and hope to explain those reasons soon), but I think that I can safely blog about a new movie Taking Chance that will be aired on HBO next month. It is a movie based on a blog post, and it should make for some compelling television. The trailer is above. The military blog, BlACKFIVE explains: Four and a half years ago, I was asked to post "Taking Chance" by LtCol Michael Strobl. It evoked one of the strongest reactions on BlackFive that I have seen since starting the blog in mid-2003. The story also gave me the honor to get to know some of the friends and family and Marine brothers of Chance. . . . It sure seems like HBO stayed true to LtCol Strobl, and, more importantly, Lance Corporal Chance Phelps. Thanks to LtCol Strobl, we all miss Chance. Read it all here . The blog post that inspired the movie is here . It is well worth reading.
