Taking Chance Home

I came across Marine LtCol M.R. Strobl’s story by way of The Weekly Standard. In 2004, LtCol Strobl had the honor of escorting a fallen Marine’s remains from Dover, DE to his eventual place of rest in Dubois, WY. Strobl wrote of his experience for the Blackfive blog, and HBO has adapted his story into an original movie.

I’ve linked the original blog post here. It is a simple, factual chronology as one might expect from a LtCol in the Marines. It is also incredibly moving. I look forward to the movie.
