- Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: Where's Gibbs?
Anthony DiNozzo: And a good afternoon to you too, Commander Coleman.
Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: He was to deliver Corporal Yost to me...
Ernie Yost: Present and accounted for, sir!
Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: ...at 0800. You're Ernest Yost?
Ernie Yost: [stands at attention] Yes, ma'am.
Anthony DiNozzo: This is Lieutenant Commander Coleman, Ernie, JAG Corps. She's here to, um... arrest you.
Ernie Yost: I can't tell you how much I appreciate this, Commander.
Anthony DiNozzo: [referring to the two Marines] What's with the Olsen twins?
Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: They're here to escort the accused to Quantico.
Ernie Yost: Well, it's about time.
[He holds out his hands to be cuffed, but Kate pushes them down]
Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: We'll deliver him.
Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman: You've had two days to do that.
[DiNozzo pulls aside Ernie's tie, revealing the Medal of Honor.

The actor, Charles Durning, served in WWII. He was awarded: Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the French Legion of Honor (Chevalier) among others.. He served in the US Army. Not bad for a Private First Class.
We all owe those boys from that generation.
My dad was in WWII he presidential unit citation, distinguished service cross and bronze star not bad for a pfc also was in patton's third army
Another fun fact (if you want to call it that) He landed on Omaha Beach in one of the first waves. One of the few to survive his landing craft. He rarely talked about his experiences.
@@patrickmcshane7658 probably more than we will ever know or could understand
@@plaidzebra5526 My grandfather, my father, his brother and my mother's brother were all in WWII. None of them would talk about it. Mom made 45 cal ammo during WWII. It was only before her death in 2004 that she would or could open up. We could sure use that generation today.
Charles Durning was the sole survivor of his unit that landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day, and he was later one of only three survivors of an infamous massacre of American POWs by their German captors. He won a Silver Star, the 3rd highest military honor in the US Armed Forces, and three Purple Hearts in the conflict. Serious respect.
Earned or awarded. You don’t win
respect for greatest generastion
He also won the French Legion of Honor... Their highest order of merit.
That was the "Malmedy Massacre" at the crossroads outside Malmedy, Belgium. American POWs were herded into a field and machinegunned by SS troops of the 1st SS Panzer Division's Reconnaissance Battalion. 87 men were killed, mostly from one overrun unit.
@@jointedlimb The French Legion of Honeur actually comes in several grades. I do not believe he received the highest grade.
I love the way they did this scene. Once he shows the MOH the guards snap to, and give the high-ball salute! You talk about change in dynamic! This is best scene in the entire series.
Yeah... You can see Coleman's "Oh shit... I forgot about that" face as she snaps to attention.
I must admit that I have watched both Marines behind her and the timing is exact... I wonder if both of them were Marines
So they are like little puppets trained to respond like that to his medal?
@@AnnaLVajda They are not puppets. They immediately recognize the recipient and what he did to be eligible for the medal. A large number of people who receive it do so posthumously.
Best...
ABSOLUTELY IT WAS
That was soo funny when Tony moved the vet’s jacket and tie to expose the moh and the 2 marines instantly went to attention and saluted. Gave the vet the proper honors he deserved. And the LCDR instantly shut up and went to attention also. Was a very good episode as the agents tried to prove the vet did not murder his friend.
Well... He did, but it wasn't on purpose if I remember correctly?
@@Hive__ He killed him by mistake, clubbed him in the head to knock him out as the Japanese were passing by their position. But instead of just knocking him out he accidently killed him.
All members of the military. Four Star General to private. By custom render a a salute to Medal of Honor recipients.
Wow, all the times I've seen this and I always thought the corporal did it himself.
It's been a while since I watched this episode. Wouldn't JAG already have Corporal Yost's military records? His Medal of Honor citation should be part of that. It shouldn't have been a surprise.
I never get tired of this scene
You're right, THIS NEVER GETS OLD!
Concur...
Cant stop watching it
I love that look in the Marine's eye when he sees the MOH and he's thinking, "OMFG!"
Snaps right to attention & salutes! Respect!
Well...duh that Medal is the highest award for any of are Armed Forces, and most get that medal posthumously. Finding a recipient still breathing is very rare.
@@2410jrod vary true! It shows her character that she is such a hard ass that she doesn’t salute him in the tv show!!
@@richardneubauer4469 she wasn't wearing her cover. I believe the Navy and Marines only wear them indoors when under arms....please correct me if I'm wrong....
@@sethkimmel7312 I was not a member of the US Armed services, but Canadian. You are mostly correct, Military police when preforming a duty under the badge of office will be covered indoors, They may or may not be armed.
@@richardneubauer4469
Officers do not salute enlisted - ever. Tradition dictates that officers stand if an MOH recipient enters the room, and come to attention in front of an MOH recipient, only when he is wearing the medal.
Despite all of the years this show has been on, this episode still stands head and shoulders above the rest. Among Durning's compelling performance, the script designed to define the MOH for watchers and the very apparent use of active Marines in some roles, it glows as few TV presentations can.
Charles Durning was a Silver Star recipient. He understood...
Absolutely the best episode in the series. Decades ago Charles during was on a TV show and he read a poem that was the unknown soldier talking about people that come to see him. I wish I could find out that poem and maybe find that on RUclips. Absolutely great poem from what I can remember. About the only thing I can remember is the part where he says "and they whisper down to me names like James and John". Maybe someone on here will know the poem or where to find it.
It helps that Durning is a real Veteran.
This is why NCIS has been a top show for so long. They do proper research when they come up with an episode. Not many dramas do that, they rely on their over used dramatic license to come up with their episodes.
@@ictpilot maybe THE UNKNOWN by E. O. LAUGHLIN ?
Every few years I come back to this clip.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Durning for your Service🇺🇸.
“For conspicuous bravery above and beyond the call of duty”. Just typing that, I get teared up- and seeing the respect paid to a man awarded that, a man not bragging about it at all, is humbling. Especially considering in real life Durning survived Omaha Beach and received both Bronze AND Silver Stars. But it’s the automatic snap to attention and the high salute that does it. And on screen and in life, Charles Durning was worthy of that because he EARNED it
Yeah, I seem to have something in my eye, as well.
You don't earn it. You're given it.
@@rickymcgowen6776 Horseshit. It's not a party favor.
The level of honor and respect shown here give me chills even after the 4 times I’ve watched this episode
Yes. How Hollywood has changed...
I remember watching the 50th anniversary commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor. President Bush, a WW2 veteran, began his part in the ceremonies by rendering a hand salute to the Medal of Honor recipients seated in front of him. THAT is the respect given to the Medal and those who have received it.
Living holders of the Medal get respect from any active service member, any branch, any rank. It's tradition AND protocol. Regardless of circumstance. The sacrifice and courage it takes to earn the Medal deserve nothing less.
One of THE Greatest scenes in NCIS history, they see that MOH and they SNAP to attention, it's AWESOME!!!
Possibly THE best episode they had!
even a 4 star General has to stand to attention and salute.
Stormy Davis Bet your ass it was the best episode!!!
No,they don't HAVE to,but they will do it. :
Although not required by law or military regulation,[112] members of the uniformed services are encouraged to render salutes to recipients of the Medal of Honor as a matter of respect and courtesy regardless of rank or status, whether or not they are in uniform.[113] This is one of the few instances where a living member of the military will receive salutes from members of a higher rank.
Stormy Davis Nicely DONE, DiNozzo! NICELY DONE!
I'm a vet, & I started to stand up when I saw that. Lol
This episode always stirs me. My grandfather served in WWII. He passed in ‘93, I was 16 years old. In the days leading up to his passing he asked to see me, and he told me things he said he hadn’t told others. He told me I was about to be a man nearly the same age he was when he deployed and wanted me to understand what being a man was. All these years later and society hates what he was, and what he wanted me to aspire to be. I’m thankful for this show because it shows a reverence to our service men and women that they deserve but don’t always get
Respectfully, I have to disagree with you on the point of society hates what he was, and what he wanted me to aspire to be - I believe it is the opposite in the general society and citizenry of the USA respect our active duty and veterans, and if you joined the military and served honorably, we respect you. If you want to talk about hate and disrespect then you need no further than to look at the actions and words and tactics of those that are supposed to be protecting and promoting and helping the military, specifically go look at what Donald Trump has said about John McCain's military service and his disrespect of POWs and MIAs and Trump's actions of not visiting or refusing to visit US military cemeteries and burial grounds while overseas in Europe or other foreign countries because of bad weather, etc., and not wanting disabled and wounded veterans in parades while he was president, just go read about what Chief of Staff General John Kelly had to say how Trump denigrated the military in numerous public and private conversations, and also look at the actions and words of Sen. Tuberville and Sen. Cancun Ted Cruz and how they are destroying moral of active military and denying additional benefits for both active and veteran military personnel and their respective family members. BOTH my parents served in the military in WW2, so my respect and honor of military personnel is genuine and rock-solid.
I can't believe that your grandfather thought society hates what he was. The service he and so many others, men and women gave their country? We should bow our heads before veterans like that - my father included - and say Thank you. We should be privileged to be in their presence.
Society doesn’t hate what your grandfather was. Don’t let a small but very loud minority of the population to tarnish your memories and ideals. People who want to do that are allowed to do that because of what your grandfather did. Those people also have trouble remembering that if the ideology they support would get them killed in many countries around this world - including some of the countries they people openly cheer on when they get into disputes with the western world.
Society, at least my old Army “society” doesn’t hate you at all!! Although a non-combat vet, my 25 yrs of svc as an Army Nurse Corps officer, both AD & USAR, I’ve certainly seen more than my share of combat trauma. I’m very sorry, in some ways, that you heard his war stories @ age 16. Yet I’m also glad your grandpa could at least partially unburden himself. You gave him a great gift. Your grandpa gave his country a great gift. Who can hope for more? 👍♥🇺🇸
Without brave men like your grandfather and my Dad and uncles who served in WWII we would not be living in a free America
I have watched many scenes of NCIS through the years but none ever gave me the feeling that this scene did. Watching those navy personal salute the medal of Honor recipient was beautiful. In real life that actor stormed the beaches of Normandy on D day.
Navy and marine Corps personnel do not salute while uncovered, below deck or under a roof, except while bearing arms, which is why the marines saluted (they were wearing sidearms) and the lcdr was not.
They were also covered, because they were armed.
The coolest part about this scene is Earnie didn't flash his MOH...the JAG Officer was being a bitch, so Tony pulled Earnie's tie aside exposing the MOH..knowing exactly the effect it would have...Tony wasn't a Vet but hebwas a smart Cop & he'd picked up enough of the culture to know exactly what buttons to push..👍👍👍👍
U damn Skippy!
I think this was Durning's final performance. If so, he went out on a note that did honour to his acting career, his military service and fellow veterans alike.
According to IMDB, it was not his final performance, but it was one of his best.
He was great at everything he did
I'm retired military. Civilians don't know. Civilians will never understand. I get goosebumps everytime I see this episode. My favorite episode!
I’m a civilian but grew up with friends and family in the armed forces. I know this right very well. My Grandfather always said to give the proper respect when greeting a hero. They did this so well it brought tears to my eyes.
My brother (or sister?) -- we took the oath so that civilians wouldn't have to find out. I hope you and yours are happy and healthy.
You dont get a MOH for nothing. I could watch this scene a million times and still smile when the "Olsen twins" snap to attention and salute.
Tony basically said bitch watch who your trying to raise your voice at
They knew what to do..and i would imagine the would have a polite chat with JAG lady about her tardy and unacceptable response..
At least the writers got it right about the saluting.
The marines saluted because they were under cover, but the LtCmder wasn't, but she snapped 2 with a bad attitude.
Their level of respect is displayed in the severity of the salute... As it should be..
You're right..and it's sad that we have an entire generation of sissies that won't volunteer to guard a Boy Scout Troop Tent !! how sad.. I'm UASF 7 1/2 years during Nam I love this episode..I dispise sissies..!! THANKS TO OUR MILITARY WE ARE STILL HERE..GOD BLESS THE FALLEN..RIP
That Medal has so much meaning and history. Courageous and valiant men have earned that Medal.
And there are many who earned it, but didn't receive it.
Same as the Victoria Cross
Still not sure why Douglas MacArthur received one...
@@kyle381000Because it was the only incentive FDR could use to get MacArthur to obey the order to leave the Philippines. The Medals awarded to the highest-ranking member of each service branch were all dubious.
@@yank-tc8bzLike Doris Miller.
Charles Durning was the real deal...a Silver Star and Purple Heart recipient...RIP soldier...
love how they went to attention after seeing the medal.
My favorite episode of the entire series
Personally I like when Gibbs tells Kate to look him up in MoH recipients. The look on her face…priceless.
I love the fact rank doesn’t effect being saluted when you receive the Medal of Honor. Their not saluting you their saluting the Medal.
I was taught to never say win the MOH...you receive.
Sheldon Johnson
Your correct my bad
You earn the medal of Honor for bravery above and beyond the call of duty, you don't salute the medal of Honor you someone who did something so extremely special that they are a hero, but everyone that has it will tell you the are not.
Surely you mean they're and don't call me Shirley.
@@CatherineBurk that's one of the qualities that help them receive the MoH
I love the way that the three people sent to arrest him snap to attention and salute him when they see the MOH. We ought to do stuff like that for our VC holders in the UK.
I'm a Yank but I'll gladly salute a VC recipient...
but we do not only for the VC but also for the GC.
It is not statutory for "all ranks to salute a bearer of the Victoria Cross" there is no official requirement that appears in the official warrant of the VC, nor in Queen's Regulations and Orders, but tradition dictates that this occurs and, consequently, Field marshal will salute a private awarded a VC.
Same goes for the George Cross as technically the George Cross is equal in stature to the Victoria Cross, but as the VC is awarded for acts in the face of the enemy so it is considered higher than the GC.
@@Autofleet4429Good! It is only right & proper...
I love how Tony, who grew up rich and was never in the military, is the one with the presence of mind to show them the MoH knowing they would instantly react and give the man his proper respect. Just a classic scene.
I love the RESPECT he got as soon as they saw the medal.
One of the best moments on the show
Probably one of the best scenes among many military movies I watched. Once the Medal of Honor is revealed the 2 soldiers stand at attention and saluted him and how he smiled back at them.
Not soldiers, Marines. Marines do not regard themselves as just soldiers.
Not Soldiers, Marines. We earn our title.
@@jameswhite1320 and then later on you become soldiers 😂
@@MilkySpongeCake no son a soldier is a Marine with a light duty chit.
@@TK-593 Just remember. . a Marine is still part of the U.S. Navy 🙂
I love the Marines snapping to attention and saluting him when they realize who they're dealing with.
Those Marines understood it the best 👌 👏 🙌.
Never gets old .
One of my fav episodes of NCIS . This scene and the other where Charles Durning is dancing with Kate really do it for me
Every time I see this scene I get teary eye in the Marine guards snap to salute
Yes Sir.
One of the best scenes of the show
RESPECT EARNED! RESPECT WILL BE GIVEN! NO MATTER WHAT!
This is one of my favorite episodes.
My favorite scene in all of TV history
This was a great episode. I lost count how many times I had watch it and always tear up.
This whole Episode rips me to shreds EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Hi can you tell me whitch eoisode is this?
@@giorgibidzinashvili4562 S2E7 Call of Silence
My DirecTV DVR is set to record all new NCIS episodes but every couple of days I scan the upcoming two weeks shows to manually record "Call of Silence" and "A Man Walks into a Bar". Did you get the toast at the end!? Ernie was wounded on Guadalcanal and met Dorothy while in the hospital. "And you were never on Iwo Jima!" "Iwo JIma, No!. Guadalcanal !"
This was NCIS, not JAG. Lt. Commander Coleman represented JAG. Best NCIS episode ever! They used it to explain what the MOH stands for and the protocols around earning and honoring it. The Marine detail at the military cemetery for the exhumation had to be real Marines, not actors!
Another great scene in this episode with the MOH is where Kate questions, "He won the Medal of Honor?" and Gibbs schools her that the medal is not 'won', it is *awarded* .
The Military "Extras" on NCIS are former Military
To be fair, that JAG officer was on the OG JAG show. Ya know, the one this is a spinoff of..
@@dsutt777 To be clear, she was ONLY in the two-part JAG episode that was the "pilot for the original NCIS. She was in no other episodes of JAG.
@@kerryedavisshe was in other episodes of JAG.
Never really got into NCIS. but I've always remembered this 1 scene; saluting the CMH veteran.
Was in New York for fleet week, long time ago. Ended up seeing three of these men wearing the MOH, truth told, I never felt so humbled in my entire life.
Durning's nod when they reacted was/is my favorite part of the entire episode.
Charles was also in the 1980 movie “The Final Countdown” with Kirk Douglas & Martin Sheen. He played “Senator Samuel Chapman”. We still like to watch this movie on DVD occasionally. Lots & lots of great scenes with the Tomcats & The U.S.S. Nimitz!
Best of the whole series, great scenes throughout, this, the scene in the interrogation room to bring back his memories and the final scene with the Japanese chef.
In a case like this, the Marines are saluting the MOH not the man who is wearing it. They don't know the man - they absolutely know the Congressional Medal of Honor. You can see the smile on the WW2 veteran's face is somewhat sad, which is when I knew he knew what was being saluted there. At that moment, only he had the memories of how that MOH was earned - which explains the sad smile. Gives me chills.
Don't mean to be argumentative, but it's not the Congressional Medal of Honor, the award is just the Medal of Honor . It just happens to be awarded by Congress. My family has been military going back generations and I've been taught the history of this particular Honor.
@@highcountrydelatite
Then why is it the Congressional Medal of Honor? That is it's name. google it.
It was this episode that got me hooked. The level of detail in this sgow is phenomenal. Enlisted men do not speak to an officer sitting on their ass. Earnest Yost stood up vefore he addressed a female officer
This is my all time favorite episode of NCIS
There are three episodes of NCIS that just ripped my heart out. The episode where they meet Kate's sister, the episode where Jackson Gibbs passes away and we say goodby to Ralph Waite, ... and this one.
Old man has immense humility
This was one of the finest episodes of NCIS. To see them snap to attention when they saw his CMA. That is a fact from enlisted to General they will render a salute. How many stories have these men buried deep in the minds of the horrors they witnessed. As with all our combat vets. I will watch this episode over and over again.
Officers don't salute unless the person is of higher rank, but they HAVE to come to Attention, including Generals...Non-Coms HAVE to Salute...Hope this helps...
@@ICU2B4UDOWrong. All members, regardless of rank, salute a Medal of Honor holder. However, Naval members do not salute indoors unless under arms. She had no cover and was not under arms, so she came to attention. The Marines had sidearms; hence, the saluted as required by regulations.
Additionally, what is a CMA? The proper name for the medal is "Medal of Honor" or MOH. There is no such thing as the "Congressional Medal of Honor" or CMH/CMOH!
@@patrickmccrann991 ...NO genius...An Officer DOES NOT SALUTE, they Stand at ATTENTION...Get off Wikipedia and read the Military Handbook of Customs and Courtesies...Now, just 🤫🤐😶😴
@ICU2B4UDO Retired Navy Senior Chief. A members salute regardless of rank according to Naval Regulations!
We..as marines are taught to salute the
RANK and the MOH not the man or woman who wears them.
SEMPER FI. 0331
the flashback scene following this one always gets me
The MOH scene always gets a lump in my throat!!!
mikjon67. Me too.
I am not tearing up watching this scene. I swear i am not
The scene where kate dances with him; gets me right in the heart every time
@@wrightgraham1677 Shit I am..😢 That was Fucking Awesome..🇺🇸🤘🏽
Everytime I come across this vid I just keep replaying the "snap too" on the MOH.
Even the jag clicks those heels.😀😀😀
Considering that over 95% of MoH recipients are deceased, it is indeed rare to see one living. the 2 most recent examples that come to mind is Ray Benavidez U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Kyle Carpenter who is also the youngest living recipient. To be among the living and have it bestowed upon you is a true measure of combat mettle to say the least. it is a symbol of the gratitude of the ENTIRE nation and Military for your service and actions that place one head and shoulders above all. It is also entered into the Congressional record irrc. That these men are also absolutely humble, modest men only adds to their stature in my opinion.
Well, the episode is from 18 years ago.
Woody Williams was one of the Moh recipients honored at the coin toss of one of the Super Bowl games. Woody was on Iwo, used a flame thrower to wipe out numerous bunkers while under intense enemy fire.
@@BigSkyCurmudgeon Now THAT's a fkn LEGEND.
Roy Benavidez.. Know his story well.. Very nice man from all accounts... Went into a restaurant on Harbor Blvd in Anaheim (Owned by the Garcia family that was from the same area as Benavidez) that had a pic of Benavidez....
And when it takes 50 years to award the MoH, it means that much more, as when Senator Daniel Inouye received his in 2000; many members of Congress were in attendance.
Great scene, one of my favourite moments, the snap to attention gives me goosebumps every time. To know that such a display of reverence and respect gets shown to MOH recipient vindicates how much I know how proud America is of their armed forces.
There is a moment in this same episode where he dances with Kate. Reliving a memory and touching everyone’s heart
Salute the Medal Of Honor
The power of one little medal. You have to render honors to it.
No one is required to salute the MOH. It is encouraged but no required.
I bought the whole season of NCIS just for the episode this video is from. I have cried every time I have watched the episode.
One of their best episodes. Durning was fantastic!
All MOH recipients rate a salute by anyone in uniform - all the way up to the Joint Chief.
@@RUclipsGuy-dm7uy - It is not against any regulation to salute an MOH recipient. Yes, it is a tradition and there are MANY military traditions that are observed that are not enforced by regulation. There is a difference between being required to salute and rating a salute.
@@RUclipsGuy-dm7uy - Did you ever serve? It doesn’t sound like it. Anyone who EVER went to boot camp is taught you will NEVER get in trouble for saluting - NEVER. You will most certainly get in trouble if you DON’T salute when it is mandated, but there is NO regulation making it a crime to salute anyone and everyone you damn well please. What a bunch or Malarkey…
@@RUclipsGuy-dm7uy - yeah - like I said - I don’t think you ever served. I did and worked with an MOH recipient. He was an old chief who won his by rescuing a bunch of Marines on a river in Viet Nam by driving a gunboat - wounded - and single handed held off an attack by North Vietnamese allowing the jarheads to get onto the boat and get away. Balls of steel.
I was an E-2 six weeks out of boot and assigned to be his driver/gopher. I never saw him once give a salute first and saw him return salutes from everyone - including the Chief of Naval Education and Training - a three star admiral. No one said anything other than a variation of “it’s a honor to meet you” - after they had saluted. I saluted him every morning when I picked him up from the BOQ - that’s bachelor officer’s quarters - not enlisted quarters and took him to work where he was finishing out his 20 as a command master chief.
So I lived it. You didn’t. Here endeth the lesson…
@@RUclipsGuy-dm7uy - let me guess - you’re going to go to the list of MOH recipients to validate whether I’m telling the truth or not. Well once again, I can tell you never served. If you think that every recipient of the MOH is proudly listed on public archives I’ve got a bridge in New York to sell you. Now in keeping with the oath I swore when I served - something you’d know nothing about - I can neither confirm nor deny that there may have been incursions into both Laos and Cambodia that were not strictly in keeping with a “policing action”. Remember that Viet Nam was not a “war” in the sense we ever declared war on any country. We were there as an invited force to assist the South Vietnamese government in defending their borders from communist aggression. We had no such agreement with Laos and Cambodia. These were sovereign nations and if our military was ever acknowledged to be there we would have been invaders and as signatory to several treaties could have ended up before The Hague.
Not going to happen.
So I think this is as far as I am going to invest in you. You’re one of those guys who think being correct is always the best outcome. Military traditions often hold far more weight than regulations. They instill a sense of belonging and commitment beyond yourself - and people who need to be correct all the time are only interested in themselves.
Good luck to you.
All the way to POTUS....
This was absolutely my favorite episode out of all the 11 Seasons that I watched!
I have actually met (and talked with - and LISTENED to) an MOH winner, Marvin J Perret, who was a steersman on the LCACs at Omaha Beach. He later served in the Pacific side of the war during the island-hopping campaign. In his later years, he was a lecturer at the WW II Museum in New Orleans, telling people his story. I took my grandson to the museum one day and watched Mr. Perret completely enthrall an eight-year-old boy with stars in his eyes. Mr. Perret WAS wearing his MOH on that day. He is listed in Wikipedia. And I will tell you he was an absolute gentleman because of the way he treated all of the kids who had stopped to listen to his story.
Love this scene! I watch this several times. One of the best episodes of ncis.
This was NCIS, not JAG. Excellent episode, awesome acting by Charles Durning.
We owe those men and women so much for their sacrifices my late mother and father both served if they hadn't made it back i wouldn't be here god bless them all
loved this ep, was heartbreaking when Gibbs started to light the matches to trigger his memory what hapened that day, what he was forced to do with is friend.. :/
The olfactory sense is controlled by the deepest most primitive part of the human brain...odors can be a powerful tool to envok memories & Gibbs was smart AF...
One of THE finest episodes of NCIS and a fine episode of television in general. Beautifully written and movingly performed by all, and the final scenes in the restaurant the most poignant of all.
That is the Medal Of Honor. No matter what rank a person is. If a person is wearing that. They will salute that person
I loved when she danced with him brought tears to my eyes
One of the best scenes in NCIS
I never had the chance to serve, because they said I couldn't hear. But I still respect anyone who had the courage to serve their country, because they earned it.
I thought that Tony should have warned the JAG lawyer that if she ordered the Marines to arrest him, they might hurt her.
Love this, instant respect 😁
One of the shows best episodes...season 2 had a couple of those
Not many MoH, winners walked off the island. Many were post humously awarded.
This was a GREAT episode!
Great scene. Loved all 4 of the pixels of it
It never fails to get true well trained soldiers who see that particular medal snap attention. I'm pretty happy with my service medals and citations and commendations also? Lol
I never had to serve. I was not called to serve. The greatest of respect to those that served, their family and those that gave all. GOD BLESS each and every one of you.
One of my favorite episodes
Even if they were four star generals they would've snapped to and saluted the MOH!!!!!!!
The actor Charles Durning with the MOH received a silver star a bronze star and several purple hearts in WW2.
@J Calhoun My next door neighbor Russell Dunham was awarded the Medal of Honor in WW2 and many other decorations
@J Calhoun He was my best buddy the last 15 years or so and we had a huge vegetable garden together. His record was actually not clearly stated and left out a silver star he got after the war in '47 and another in '60; the army apparently mislaid the citations. His 1st silver star was when he and Footsie Britt a young officer who had played 1 yr in the NFL were awarded decorations for actions in Italy; Britt got the MOH and Russ got a silver star. in London after the war he was a Sgt of Arms along with a VC sgt at a meeting of allied generals and politicians and little man in black house slippers walked up and was admiring his medals, calling them out and concluded "Sgt you had a very fin war and I would much rather sit and just listen to all your exploits; I'm so happy you are safe in London today; it was Winston Churchill. Gets back to the USA in '46 and was called out for court martial bc he did not salute a captain and Russ explained Capt I was sight seeing and I didn't see you. The Naval Capt overseeing the Court martial said 10 days doing KP might be in order and Russ took off his overcoat with his MOH, Croix de Guerre with Palm, Silver Star, Bronze Stars with V device for Valor, 8 battle stars, Foraguerre in the colors of the croix de guerre and 2 Presidential Unit Citations (he was only 5:6 so his chest was covered) and he said "I dont do KP Capt". The Capt responded "Sgt I retract that and if you think Halsey or Nimitz would not be proud to have you as a guest aboard a Naval vessel think again Capt. Your compalint is dismissed. Sgt you are a guest of the Navy until your discharge papers are prepared.
@J Calhoun Russ never talked abt the war except to tell stories abt his buddies until the last 10 years of his life. he would much rather talk about beans and tomatoes and watermelons and our arguments over tomatoes and plants were legendary and then lemonade and cookies or a steak on the grill.
@@bunkerman99 well, didn't THAT just clean that Capt's clock?! Loved that so much. That's grace and integrity.
@@CrownedOne919 1st time Russ met Patton he was a corporal and he and a 2d Lt were under a large ammo truck changing out a broken axle stripped down to underwear bc of that mud and someone is in their light and that Lt comes storming out yelling get the hell out of my light private. "I'm not a private and what's the meaning of this?" The old man needs this ammo at Messina. "Why are you men out of uniform? Sir I did not realize it was you, we are changing a broken axle. "Do you even know how to change that?" Yes sir, dad has the Dodge brothers garage back home, helped the mechanics many times on grain trucks. "Well all right then, damn, I got two SOBs that know what they are doing. You there get some buckets of water so these men can clean up and cook you get some coffee brewing. I will see you men at Messina. Week later he was a 1st Lt and I was a Sgt.
Any civilian veterans would be willing to salute a CMOH recipient if you saw one? I would. GLADLY
Hands down. My favorite episode!!
One of my favorite episodes of NCIS
This was one of my favorite episodes of NCIS.
One of my favorite episodes.
Not JAG, but NCIS.. JAG was a different series, although I believe the JAG Lt.Commander featured in an episode or two of JAG as well, as the same character. A great mix up of two great dramas from the same writers.. :)
This is the only thing i have ever seen from this series and it was here on RUclips
My all time favorite NCIS Episode 🇺🇸
A great episode and also a sad episode. The amount of flashbacks and character brokes...it was hard to see for me. Just the amount of trauma after war really breaks persons...
I like how when Tony reaches over to move the tie the camera slides down below Yost face (Charles Durning). It wasn't Durning's Medal.
there are some good character actor in this show my favourite by far is duckys mom she just aces her role
I could watch Charles Durning in anything
Probably my Favorite Episode by far ..and the one later on with Christopher Lloyd who played a dying USS Arizona Survivor trying to make sure he's laid to rest with ShipMates
