As we all know, for years Hollywood has had this obsession with trying to make the American military and the wars it has fought into nothing more than heartless chest-thumping rage machines who maim and kill innocents indiscriminately (remember Brian De Palma? ‘Nuff said).
Kevin at Pundit Review has news about an upcoming HBO movie that will make you break out the Kleenex box as well as fill your heart with even more pride for our brave, honorable men and women in uniform. Here’s the trailer:
The movie is titled “Taking Chance Home” and it was brought to the attention of the American public by powerhouse milblogger/author BlackFive. Make sure to read Kevin’s post in full as well as BlackFive’s for the background on this bittersweet story.
It sure is nice to know that Hollywood is going to do right by our troops for a change. I won’t get used to it, but it’s welcomed all the same.
The movie airs next month. Here’s the schedule.

Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this special movie information. I can only pray Hollywood does more. I will share it with everyone who cares.
The island I work on has a national cemetary on it, and there has been several occasions where the Colonel has asked the workforce to give honor to a fallen soldier….it is a pretty amazing sight to see several thousand people lining the main street to the cemetary, even in the worst of weather. – Lorica
Wow…just the trailer affected me profoundly.
I guess I’ll have to see the movie…
I agree Camo, I had to watch it twice. May God continue to Bless our troops, especially in the face of such adversity here and abroad. – Lorica
