Default Taking Chance

After seeing the trailer for the HBO film "Taking Chance", HBO Films: Taking Chance ,

It left me wondering how would I react if such an honor would be asked upon me. I have a feeling I'd be overwhelmed with sorrow and pride all at once.

Is there anyone here that has experienced something like this?

Not specifically like this, but when I was in the Army I served as a member of a honor guard for 10 funerals....and still remember the locations to this day.
