As a Veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, I was reluctant to watch this film because I knew it would hit close to home. This was the most difficult film I have ever watched, it was incredibly well made and spoke directly to the bond soldiers share and the reverence we all owe to those who paid the ultimate price of freedom. I normally do not connect enough with a movie to have an emotional response but this movie rocked me to my core and I cried all the way through it. "Taking Chance" is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I still feel emotion just thinking about the message this movie sent. All Americans should see it, especially the politicians so they can better appreciate the real cost of war. NEVER, EVER FORGET!
