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
Great episode. Great contribution by a real Veteran.
I just saw this episode for the first time. Great episode made all the more important by the performance of Charles Durning- D-Day vet, Malmedy vet, Silver Star, Bronze Star.
NCIS helped give us a bit of education, also, as to the particulars of the attack. This is the first episode I've seen that reflected a bit of history and the costs of those historical battles.
This episode is all the more poignant with Mr. Durning's recent death this past Christmas Eve. (Congrats also to IMDb for the timely update.)
R.I.P. Greatest Generation. "Thank You for your Service" to all past and present Service members.
