Kevin Bacon plays a marine again. He is a Lt. Col. who decides to take a fallen Marine home. The movie starts off showing the care the US military takes in moving those who have given the last full measure back to their family. Along the way the Coronel meets mostly sympathetic people and the occasional jerk.  

Anyone who sees this movie will gain a deeper appreciate of the sacrifices.
 
I have no way of rating this movie. The emotional impact of the movie goes beyond much else. Other than the Passion no other movie has been as moving.
 
Semper Fi, to Chance Phelps and all those who have given the last full measure!
