* WellDoneSonGuy: Jeff Yorke flunks out of West Point and enlists in the army as a private to earn the respect of and to get to know his estranged father. Colonel Yorke clearly cares for his son, but can only show/do so much due to his position as commanding officer and both his and Jeff's desire that the young private succeed on his own merit. After proving himself by undertaking a dangerous mission to rescue kidnapped children, Jeff earned his father's praise in three ways. His father trusts him to pull an arrow out of his shoulder, asks his son to help him to his horse, and finally states to his now reconciled wife that "Our boy did well."
