My family certainly appreciate that Gen Kelly mentioned the movie TAKING CHANCE . We watched it on Amazon Prime last nite and I wish every American would do so as well. Very well done and it is a complete depiction from start to finish on how the fallen military are cared for. Gen Kelly detailed some of the procedure but there is more. My Brother in law was a military escort for awhile and the bodies are treated with respect and dignity from the time they are taken to the military mortuary, prepared for burial and taken home for the family to bury. It is not a maudlin movie but very touching.

There are a couple of other good movies that touch on this.

GARDEN OF STONE with James Caan.

WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE with Mel Gibson.
