It can be regarded as a main theme movie. The values infiltrated in it feel a little far away from us. But it feels so sincere. It doesn’t feel very fake. Arlington's National Cemetery was a little moved when a flag was planted on the graves of fallen soldiers. The thought of our martyrs' tombs being planed. The remains of the martyrs were thrown out in the wind and rain just because the local government To develop real estate in that place to make money...what else can I say...In short, aside from the national ideology and so on. After watching the movie "Escort Chance", I was moved.

1st Lt. Dan Robertson (Chance Phelp's platoon commander): [voiceover, from his 09 April 2004 letter to the Phelps family] It's ironic, but I am certain that if the world had more men like Chance Phelps, there wouldn't be a need for a Marine Corps.

LtCol Mike Strobl: [voiceover] Chance Phelps was wearing his St. Christopher medal when he was killed on Good Friday. Eight days later, I handed the medallion to his mother. I watched them carry him the final fifteen yards. I felt that as long as he was still moving, he was somehow still alive. When they put him down in his grave, he'd stopped moving. I didn't know Chance Phelps before he died. But today, I miss him.
