After he explains that he is doing this only because the private is from his hometown and has no other meaning, the film cuts to several people doing medical procedures on a corpse which one can assume to be Phelps. He says it is because the private is from his hometown, and then we see him discuss his choice with his wife.
The movie then cuts to him in an interview with a higher ranking Marine and he asks to escort a Marine named PFC (Private First Class) Chance Phelps. After a short clip of the colonel eating dinner with his family, we find him looking at the casualty report yet again but this time he writes down some information. The colonel makes his way home with his family for a short while, then the camera cuts to five Marines in woodland MarPat camouflage taking US Flag-draped coffins off of an airplane in the rain. After a couple clips of Michael running through the woods, service members' coffins getting put into an airplane, and some driving, we find the colonel at work giving a presentation to several other Marines. Finally, we cut to Colonel Michael Strobl (played by Kevin Bacon) searching on his computer the casualty report for the Middle East. We then cut to see two Marines driving, wearing dress blue uniforms, to an unmarked house in the middle of the night and knocking on the door. The film opens on a black screen, with white letters describing the date and place, as we hear radio chatter about a "suspicious vehicle" followed by the sound of an explosion and gunfire. At the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, it earned ten nominations, including Outstanding Made for Television Movie and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for Bacon, and won one for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Miniseries or a Movie. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics.
