"Families destroy themselves, so families have to heal themselves," Bob explains to Tracy and James. As James' graduation from the program approaches, Bob wants James to make some formal commitments.

"We give kids the chance to be honorable and I want James to make some commitments before he leaves.

James asks Major Neely to speak for him at the graduation.

As the hugs go around the circle, it comes back to Bob and James, Bob whispers to him, "This is all about you."

And so for now, the generations have come full circle.
