Its an honor to know that tho i may not be a Marine yet, but to know that i am enlisted in the DEP for the Marines. I cant wait to be a part of this tradition.

@NathanGorman28 Best wishes to you Nathan in the service of our country, these are going to be trying times, I pray that you will have the discernment in your service, to remember the Spirit and the People to whom you serve, not the machine that is its infrastructure.

"I'll be here." This is all a Marine has to say to when relieving a Watch." Rest assured that has the watch word for 236 years. SEMPR FI

@booksbenji Agree or disagree with America or the Military objectives, there is the Highest respect for the "Integrity" that the Marines bring to the "Word". It this day and age, the meaning of words is falling away and corruption is everywhere, and it is refreshing to witness that there remains a segment of humanity which holds true to honor a the words spoken by living men, as a living code of honor.

He (Lt Col Strobl) never once glanced over his shoulder as he departed the room... he KNEW one Marine was watching over the other.

@mgwilliams1000 . Seriously, that is a very good observation. I know it seems trivial, and we think to ourselves that perhaps the directors or actors may not even have intended this, but the truth remains, that the spirit tells us a story greater than the directors, writers and actors actually imagine, and the movie becomes something bigger and more substantial. I hope you continue to apply your observations to many movies, they are the treasure hidden in the field. Thanks for commenting.

I loved this movie. As a former marine i was really touched by this scene, i really miss the guys i served with. No finer people on earth. May God bless all of our military, keep them strong and safe.

[annette64]

This should have been kept in the theatre releases.  It shows the true colors of Marines. For those that are my friends it is THEM! God bless you for doing this film. I have yet to watch it without the screen becoming blurry most of the viewing time.

There is something about the Marine Corps that we who have never served will never know or understand. At my father's funeral many years ago, about 20 members of the Marine Corps League attended (red uniforms- they were in Taking Chance also). I'm sure none of them knew my father, but he was a fellow Marine who needed to be buried with the respect he deserved. So, they all took a half-day off work and attended the service on a cold March day in a little town. I was so touched by the gesture.

Oh my God what a powerful beautiful movie. I went through a box of tissues half way through. Kevin Bacon did a fantastic job. God Bless our military and their families. God Bless our country.

i realy wish they would of put this in the movie, its a very touching scene

[solidussnake9000]

i watched this in my mcjrotc and MAAAAN i never knew i could cry like that

[bobsit1945]

Wish this scene was kept in the movie, it expresses the pride and dedication of not just Marines but all servicemen. This from a retired US Navy FMF Corpsman who was also in the Air Force prior to joining the Navy

I saw this in school and I cried so hard. R.I.P privite chance phelps

[booksbenji]

Ross, I can't see from my viewpoint(A Marine Veteran) who has performed this duty 4 3 yrs @ Camp Lejeune ('70-'73) that this was not in accordence w/the Lt. Col. idea of the movie. This is a normal function of a funeral watch. Maybe it was not what "Hollywood" would do but this what the Marines do every day for 236 yrs. Sir, that's, "A FAMILY TRADITION", to borrow Hank Jr. words. SEMPER FI

[WatermelonMovies]

Fantastic movie, one of my favorites by far. Also the scene where hes looking at the coffin inside the gym, was actually filmed inside my school! But regardless, great movie, teaches a fantastic lesson to everyone...loved it. R.I.P. Chance

@mormonboy32able You keep your head high as well. I will do so, Marines all the way, We are the Few the Proud. Death before dishonor, Semper Fi till we die.

[mormonboy32able]

@NathanGorman28 keep your head held high. don't back down from any challenge never back down from your DI and never give up! do or die semper fi! best of luck! i'll be joining you out their soon also.
