One of the greatest experiences I have had in five years of Pundit Review Radio was getting to know the family of Lance Cpl. Chance Phelps and Lt. Col. Michael Strobl. Chance was killed in Iraq in 2004 and Lt. Col. Strobl was assigned to escort his body home from Dover AFB to his final resting place in Wyoming. He wrote an incredibly moving account of his experience on Blackfive, which I HIGHLY recommend you read in its entirety. This incredible story was made into a sublime and beautiful movie by HBO called Taking Chance. Kevin Bacon plays Lt. Col. Michael Strobl in the movie.

Last evening, he won a Golden Globe for the role.
In the days before the HBO movie was released, we did a very emotional interview with Chance’s mother Gretchen Mack and Lt. Col. Strobl, this was truly an unforgettable experience and interview,
