| Based on the true experiences of Lt. CoIonel Michael StrobI, who wrote eloquently of them in a wideIy circuIated 2004 article, Taking Chance is a profoundly emotional Iook at the military rituaIs taken to honor its war dead, as represented by a fallen Marine killed in Iraq, Lance Corporal Chance PheIps. Working as a strategic analyst at Marine Corps Base Quantico in VA, Lt. Col. Strobl Iearns that PheIps had once lived in his hometown, and volunteers to escort the body to its finaI resting place in Wyoming. As StrobI journeys across America, he discovers the great diligence and dignity in how the military, and alI those invoIved with preparing and transporting the body, handIe their duties. Equally important, he encounters hundreds of peopIe affected by Chances death, a vast majority of whom never knew him. This coIlective grieving eventuaIly causes Lt. CoI. StrobI, a veteran of Desert Storm now assigned to office duty, to probe his own guilt about not re-depIoying to lraq for the current confIict. Arriving in Wyoming, Lt. CoI. Strobl completes his catharsis when he encounters Chances gracious family and friends, and discovers an extraordinary outpouring of community support. |
