Chance I could tell was a great man even though I am not a soldier. He was ann honorable soldier and a true Marine. While I cannot say that I understand the brotherhood between you Marines and other soldiers, I can definitely say that I appreciate the sacrifice that you make. Thank you and God bless you all.

Saw the movie last night and it tore my heart up. Very impressed that his sister was a Navy Petty Officer, and her fiance an Army Sgt.. RIP Chance and Semper Fi from a retired Navy Corpsman

"Taking Chance" was an extraordinary film that ,for once, uses the war a backdrop, and not the main focus. This movie reminded me what it means to be a human being. When Officer Strobl was driving on top of the mountain, and the other cars flashed their brights in respect for a fallen marine, I almost cried. I haven't cried in a long time.

The film goes above and beyond in telling Chance's inspirational tale. Much respect to Chance and all of the other military personnel who sacrificealot

I have seen this movie, and i have seen fellow Marines being loaded onto a plane for their final ride home, and let me tell you, it is the hardest thing i have ever had to face my whole life. Seeing a fallen brother being loaded in a casket onto a plane, well lets just say, I hope none of you ever have to go through that, it haunts you everyday, its always there in your mind no matter what. To the Phelps family, and all the families of the fallen, i hope you find peace again in your life

I saw "Taking Chance" today and could not stop myself from crying. It was one of the most touching stories I have seen. Thank you to Lt. Col. Michael Strobl for sharing his thoughts and heartfelt emotions about his journey as an escort for Chance. God bless Chance and all our fallen soldiers.

I've seen the movie as well, but when I saw this vid, I felt so emotional when I saw this.

I as a Filipino, would like to give my deepest condolences, and also my US Army cousin based in Georgia would like to give his deepest condolences to Pvt.1st Class Chance Russell Phelps.

He is an extraordinary soldier, at a rank of Private 1st class, he's received 8 medals and ribbons. He was a loving son and brother, and a dedicated soldier. My regards also and respect to Lt.Col. Michael Strobl.
