Bo was at the VA for several days. He listened to the other men tell their experiences, then it was his turn to share.

When Bo got done with his story, a man by the name of Hank replied. "Bullshit! It was probably your unit that wiped them out. It happened all the time. Soldiers get stressed, or panic when a kid runs up to them and starts shooting. To cover their tracks they invent a story like the one you just told."

"Go to hell!" Bo stood up and started to walk towards the door.

"Truth hurts, huh coward?" Bo ignored him as he continued walking. "Hey! Hey, baby killer! I'm talking to ya!" The man grabbed Bo by the wrist and pulled him back. Bo paniced as a flashback occured when Hank grabbed his wrist. Bo turned around suddenly and punched Hank across the jaw. He was out like a light.

"Oh, man." The therapist replied as the other men in the room started to clap, at the fact Bo punched out Hank. As he saw Bo walking out the door, he yelled after him. "Bo! Bo, hold on now!" The therapist followed Bo out of the building.

Luke arrived at the VA and parked his car on the side of the hospital across the street. When he heard someone calling out for Bo, he looked over towards the enterance. Luke saw the other man reaching for Bo's arm and Luke knew what Bo was going to do.

"Bo, don't do it." Luke said outloud to himself as he made his way across the street. Too late, Bo spun around and put the man on the ground with his arm twisted behind his back. Bo had his knee in the center of Josh's back.

"Don't you ever touch me again!"

"Now, Bo. That's no way to treat your friends." Luke said as he got closer to them.

"Not my friend."

"I'd say not." Luke knelt down and told Josh as he put out his hand. "Name's Lukas, I'm his cousin." Josh shook Luke's hand. "Name's Josh, I'm the therapist."

"I take it, therapy didn't work out the way you expected."

"You could say that."

"Let him up, Bo." When Bo made no attempt to move, Luke put his hand onto Bo's shoulder and gently rubbed it. "Come on, Bo. I'll take you home." Bo nodded and let loose of Josh's arm. Bo stood up, looked around and walked towards Luke's TA without saying a word.

"Sorry, Josh." Luke helped Josh to his feet.

"Thanks. He should work on his temper."

"I'll get his things in a minute."

"Meet me in my office. First door on the right." Luke nodded and walked away, as Josh went back inside and gathered up Bo's things. Luke ran up to Bo.

"Bo. You really need to work on your social skills." When Bo continued to walk to Luke's car, Luke held him back.

"Bo, what happened?"

"My turn to share with the group, so I did."

"What did you say?" Bo turned and looked at Luke.

"Told the group about what Charlie did to the people of that village. Hank called me a lier and a baby killer."

"What did you do?"

"I tried to walk away and he held me back."

"And?"

"And I hit him."

"Shit." Luke put his hand on his forehead. "How hard?"

"Think I broke his jaw."

"Listen, I'll get your stuff, then we'll get the hell out of here. Wait here." Luke started to walk away then he stopped. "Don't go anywhere, or hit anyone." Bo nodded then got into the car as Luke made his way to the office.

"Josh?" Josh glanced up and saw Luke in the doorway. "Bo told me what happened. Is the other guy okay?"

"Yeah, just got knocked out. Ego is more hurt then he is. I don't blame Bo for hitting him, that guy is kind of a jerk. I looked up Bo's record. Man's a hero. There were several men here talking about a guy they heard of, that climbed a tree and ending up saving his men by taking out 30 VC. I realized today that they were talking about Bo. The man has become some what of a legend." Luke smiled at that. Josh gave Luke a copy of Bo's record. "Just in case he needs a copy for later down the road."

"I had no idea about this. He doesn't talk much about his time over there." Luke replied as he looked at Bo's record and noticed the medals that Bo was awarded. Bo was awarded a purple heart, 2 bronze stars, a silver star, distinguished service medal and the distinguised service cross.

"That's more common than you think. You know, I never met anyone so highly decorated."

"Yeah. Well, I best get goin'. Before anything else happens." Josh nodded at Luke.

"Take care of him. He's dealing with a lot. If he will let me, I can go to Hazzard and have couseling every week with him."

"I think it would be best for him if you did that. Why don't you come over on Friday around 2. I'll make sure he's home." Luke wrote down the address and gave it to Josh.

"What if he refuses?"

"He won't." Luke grinned and continued. "I'll make sure on that." Luke held out his hand. "Thanks for your help."

"No problem, take care." Josh said as he shook Luke's hand.

"You too." Luke turned around and headed to his car. He got into the driver's side and looked at Bo.

"What happened?"

"Told them about the little girl that the VC used to try to kill my men. Hank said it was us that wiped out that village and blamed it on Charlie. Guy called me a coward and a baby killer. So I got up to leave, he grabbed my wrist and I paniced. Turned around and punched him." Luke started up the car and they headed home. A half hour past and Bo noticed the envelope that Luke had on his lap.

"What's that?"

"Copy of your service record." Bo remained silent for several minutes.

"So you know?"

"Yup." Luke looked in the rearview mirror and pulled over. "I knew you didn't like telling people about what happened over there. But I was surprised at all the medals you were awarded." After Bo remained quiet for several minutes, Luke added. "Are you ashamed of how you got the medals?"

"There on my Class A's. And no, I'm not. I was afraid to show them because I didn't want people thinking that I was bragging."

"Does ma know?"

"Yeah, she found out when she was helping me put my things away. She told me it was something that I should be proud of. That if it wasn't for me, my boys would have died. That includes Tom, Jackie and Billy."

"I had no idea about that." Luke thought for a moment. "I guess I don't blame you for not telling me." They talked for several minutes and headed home.
