Anyone catch this movie on HBO tonight? It's based on the true story of Lt. Col. Michael Strobl (played by Kevin Bacon) escorting the body of a Marine (Lance Corporal Chance Phelps) back to his hometown from the Iraq War.

DVR'd it earlier and just finished watching it. WOW! It's a very powerful and moving story. Kevin Bacon was amazing in this role.

Thank you so very much for that link, lazee. I don't get HBO, but I will find a way to watch that film. Kevin Bacon cleans up nicely for that role.

Mr. Windsor and I watched it last night. We loved it. What an inspiring story and an amazing film. Bacon is awesome, I went through a few kleenex watching it!
