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.

Never Fails to Make Me Cry
No matter how many times I see this episode, it never fails to make me tear up and cry.
Charles Durning was perfect in the role of Ernie Yost. He portrayed just the right amount of guts, honor, and pride along with love, nostalgia, and sincerity. He truly wanted to do the right thing and he was very determined to do what he thought was the right thing: Semper Fi.
Somehow, his dance with Kate, the exhumation, along with the ending, always bring me to tears. All of the regulars, along with Alicia Coppola, and Lloyd Kino did a fantastic job during this episode.
It is easily the most memorable episode of the entire series for me and my favorite.
