Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCharles Durning's character portrays a Medal of Honor recipient. In real life, Durning was awarded the Purple Heart three times in WWII for injuries received. In addition to Purple Heart, Durning was awarded the Silver and Bronze Stars for valor and the World War II Victory Medal. In 2008, the French consul presented him with the National Order of the Legion of Honor.
- GoofsWhen Lt. Coleman and the MPs arrive to arrest Corporal Yost, DiNozzo pulls back his tie to display the Medal of Honor hanging from his chest. All three stand at attention but only the MPs salute, Coleman does not. By tradition the Medal of Honor is saluted by all personnel unless the military person is without cover (that is bare-headed), as Coleman is.

Featured review
One of the best episodes of 17+ years
This episode belongs to one actor - Charles Durning. Having seen action that resulted in him being awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star, acquiring a Purple Heart, and being appointed a Knight of the Légion d'Honneur by the President of France, it may have been difficult for him to control his emotions while acting this part, so close to his own history, but we saw no trace of that - he took us through the script and showed us exactly what the script wanted us to see. What a professional! Having said that, the rest of the regular team creditably kept up their end of the effort, making Durning's performance seamless. It would be unfair not to mention Alicia Coppola's part, spiking up the story as Lt Cdr Coleman - there is another consummate professional.
