Words escape me. Thanks for the post - Slow, solemn salute to PFC Chance Phelps, and a heart felt thanks to his family for their sacrifice to our Nation. May God's peace that passes all understanding surround you.

We'll miss him also. What a powerful reminder of this brave young mans sacrifice.
What gave us heart was America's reaction to it. Despite the liberal media's portrayal of the war, most of America "does" get it! Thank God!
The price is too high for us not to!
God will surely Bless Chance eternally, may He Bless and comfort the Phelps family in their grief.
I wish we could thank them personally. But for sure our prayers will be with them. We are so grateful words alone could never express it. Tears will be shed for their loss.

I know the author, Mike Strobl. We served together in 10th Marines, and then at HQMC. He is a thoughtful, intelligent, articulate man. He captured the emotion of all Marines well in this article.
Semper Fi PFC Phelps, God bless you...
Let us cross over the river, and rest on the other side...

"Regards,
LtCol Strobl" ... Thank you, Marine. Now this ol' softy misses Chance too. This telling makes me realize how hard I must work in the coming weeks, to insure that the Honor of Chance is not lost to the politicians who would denegrate our courageous Soldiers by selling our sovereignty to the U.N.
