Storyline

Trevor and his family enjoys the hero's welcome and leave for arm surgery. Future interim XO lieutenant colonel Evan Connors arrives to learn the ropes. Dr. Chris Ferlinghetti promotes Denise to his surgery assistant. In Iraq, husband Frank's pride gets tainted with jealous insecurity, so he bitches about her unwillingness to sell Mac's motorbike. Vietnam MIA private Ernest 'Ernie' Flowers's corps is finally identified and repatriated from Cambodia. His only surviving relative, step-daughter Beverly Jacop, herself in the army, refuses to attend his memorial, but Ernie's buddy is found, retired master sergeant James Vayro. Trevor questions his own hero credentials, but army PR insists on a public decoration ceremony. Meeting James helps.
